So, next time you're hosting a girl's night, dinner, or event at your place and you're looking for a delicious cheese plate and a one-stop-shop (Trader Joe's) to do your grocery shopping, look no further. It also impress everyone and make you feel like you’re a little chef in the making! Plus, it’s fun to just throw crushed nuts on the board, add color where you think is fitting, and get creative.

I had a lot of fun experimenting with this recipe and leaning on a few recipes I found online but added my own twist to it! I’m definitely not an expert bartender or cocktail maker but had to pat myself on the back for how delicious this one. Definitely worth trying! The addition of cinnamon makes it feel very festive as well.

In college one of my friends introduced me to the Starbucks Green Tea Latte and I have been hooked every since.  Sadly, it's taken me 4+ years to finally perfect my own dupe of Starbucks Green Tea Matcha Latte (better late than never). This recipe is easy, super delicious, and the perfect treat on a dreary fall afternoon or morning.

This Lentil Chickpea + Lemon Radish Salad has been my go-to recipe for weekly dinners and when we have guests over for a small dinner party. It's so easy to mix together and the lemon dressing is always a crowd pleaser. It's like one of those dishes that people think you worked so hard on, but really you just whipped it all together and garnished with a few leftover herbs -- easy!   

Although I absolutely love Shrimp Ceviche, it has intimidated me so much so that I've never tried making it on my own. Until now! I was a bit nervous that I wasted all my money on shrimp and avocados and it was going to be a complete disaster, however, I am happy to report it was super delicious and easier than expected.  Who knew?

The perfect topping for french toast, cake, meat, and really just about anything. I was so impressed by how this Blackberry Lemon Basil sauce came out! This was not a planned creation, but sometimes those are the best creations. Am I right? It was Saturday morning and we had no agenda for the day. Perfect opportunity to spend the whole morning in the kitchen cooking up a storm.

This is a one pot creation -- besides the rice, but that's an easy clean-up. My husband loves spaghetti, but I typically use 3-4 pots/pans, and though he boast on my cooking skills, he wouldn't say the same of my cleaning skills... whoops.

Happy Monday! Today I am sharing a healthy, delicious muffin recipe with you guys. Instead of butter + sugars, I switched it up with coconut oil + yogurt. Not only did it add some additional, natural flavors, but also cut back on some of the unnecessary calories.

I could write a novel on how delicious this bread is, how Michael ate 5 pieces as soon as it came out of the oven, and how divine our house has smelled for the past 3 days. However, I am going to spare you those delicious details and let you stair at those pictures. Also, I know you're probably thinking, "bread? this is cake", whatever you want to call it -- it's good.

Sharing my easy, delicious guacamole recipe. This bowl of guac doesn't last long in our house... maybe 24 hours if we are lucky.  This is simply, delicious, and can be whipped up so quickly. Grab a bag of chips and enjoy.

Today I am sharing with you my Post Workout Smoothie. Depending on the season, there might be different types of fruit, but for the most part this recipe stays the same each time. Plus, it's a great way to add additional veggies into your day and vitamins.
