This week I decided to […]

Sriracha Tilapia Ceviche

It is such a fantastically refreshing mix of citrus, fish, and veggies, and so versatile. My usual ceviche is a Shrimp and Grouper Fiesta Ceviche that reminds me of whale watching in Mexico.

Shrimp Feta and Watermelon Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes

Shrimp Feta and Watermelon Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes. Can I just share a quick story with you? ‘Cause it’s gotta be told!

Dark Chocolate and Orange Chia Almond Mix

Dark Chocolate and Orange Chia Almond Mix. Sweet and healthy and it tastes so goooooood (sung to the tune of Reunited by Peaches and Herb)! This mixture of dark chocolate, almonds, chia seeds, and oranges is just that. Crunchy, delicious, healthy, and just a handful should satisfy your hunger. Plus, don’t the chia seeds look […]

Strawberry Shortcake Truffles

Strawberry Shortcake TrufflesAlright, I did it. Mission accomplished. I saw The Great Gatsby and it was all I ever hoped and dreamed and so much more. Truly. I know that for some, Gatsby is a memory that they would like to quickly forget, as they recall it being a vaguely boring story that they trudged […]
