Chili-Lime Shrimp Bowls with Black Bean-Mango Salsa
So I’ve entered the swollen feet phase of my pregnancy. It’s about as glamorous as it sounds. Last week when I was flying home from California, the side of my left foot got a little tickle mid-flight. I reached down to give my tootsie a scratch (sorry, TMI?) and, not being able to actually see...

California Cobb Salad with Tarragon Vinaigrette
I’m back! A few days ago I was sipping mocktails at Mundaka and gazing at The Lone Cyprus on the iconic 17 Mile Drive along the Pacific coastline. Today I was stopping to smell the lilacs on a walk around the neighborhood. As always, modern travel never ceases to amaze me!...

Friday Favorites
TGIF! It’s going to be a hot and steamy weekend ’round these parts (shh, don’t tell my fellow Midwesterners, but I actually love humidity!) There’s nothing like heading out for a long run on a cloudy, humid day and working up a crazy sweat in the heat. Alas, I’ll have to...

Life is full of little stressors, isn’t it? Whether it be work, life, family, or a combo of the three, sometimes instead of screaming out into the universe, IIII’M STREESSSED (which, cough, I have been known to do) I’ll take a soul-cleansing walk outside, buy myself a bouquet of flowers, or simply
