Happy Gratitude Week! I love this time of year, and all of the colors and flavors that come along with it. Recently I’ve been channeling all the harvest vibes and starting my mornings with pumpkin oatmeal and all the spices, and it’s probably the most nourishing breakfast I’ve ever had to date. And needless to […]

It’s officially fall which in my book means several things, but one aspect in particular gets me excited – pumpkins, spice, and everything nice! The fall flavors and scents give me all the cozy vibes and Miami temperatures aside I’m feeling the seasonal transition full-on. And I’ve been celebrating in all the best ways – […]

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe here, or anything related to food for that matter! I’ll be honest – this green smoothie was a totally random ‘what do I have to make a smoothie with’ kinda smoothie. I’d happened to pick up a couple kiwis from the store, and lately […]

Omg December is flying by!!! I absolutely adore Christmas. Everything about it. Especially the baking and the cookies. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to share this post – things down here have been in full swing between Basel and the holidays and life. Christmas in Miami definitely feels a bit strange, but I’m […]

Chocolate and Halloween go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly Happy Halloween ya’ll! Here’s a riddle for ya: what’s scarier than Halloween…? A Halloween without chocolate! Can’t even imagine. Add a craving for baked goods with some fall spices and bam you’ve got double chocolate chai muffins. So good it’s scary. Pure magic. I’ve been away […]

Earlier this week I had a 24 hour stomach bug thing – NOT fun! And just before my birthday :/ (Fortunately I felt much better on my bday 🙂 So all week I’ve been going easy on my stomach. One thing I’ve been making every day is this gut healing green smoothie. It’s simple, refreshing, […]

What do you do with a bunch of brown bananas? Make (paleo) banana bread of course! My friend was about to toss a whole bunch of bananas that were well beyond ripe. I hate watching food to waste. I simply said those would be perfect for banana bread. My friend paused and held them up […]

Cold soup sounds a little odd at first. Raw soup sounds like one of those new-aged health fads. But in reality, there’s nothing new or odd about gazpacho, a classic dish in Spanish cuisine. While on vacation the other day, my mom served her homemade gazpacho and I enthusiastically sipped up every last drop. And […]

The other week I met my friend for yoga and dinner at a vegan café in Coconut Grove. It’s an adorable spot, with smoothies, salads, and even vegan pizza. They have so many customizable options, so I decided to create my own salad. Walnut meat was on the menu and I was intrigued – I’d […]

Mango smoothie anyone? Mango trees are abundant down here, and it is full-on mango season in Miami. Mangoes are rather high in sugar as far as fruit goes, so as much as I love it I don’t tend to eat loads. However I’ve been gifted mangoes straight from the trees lately. These fresh-off-the-tree mangoes are […]
