The Pescetarian and the Pig

Raw Coconut Cranberry Cashew Fig BarsGood morning! I’ve got a little spring in my step! And it’s not just because it’s 80 degrees out and beautifully, wonderfully, actually spring. It’s because I whipped up a batch of these amazingly delicious, 100% vegan, fruit and nut bars. They taste super awesome, yo! For serious. I’m sure […]

Chocolate Raspberry Espresso Quinoa CookiesTake a little bit of quinoa, mix it with a little bit of cocoa, throw in some freeze-dried raspberries… Don’t forget to add some dark chocolate covered espresso beans, because quite honestly, your world can’t go on without them. Oh yeah, and don’t just use any old sugar. No no no! […]

Piña Colada Macadamia Nuts. Oh my goodness, everyone! It’s finally spring!!! And I say “finally,” because even though spring was apparently supposed to start a couple of weeks ago, it seems like everyone’s still been waiting on the winter to be over. Well, the good news is, you’re not alone! Because here in Charlotte, it was […]

Light Rotini Pasta and VeggiesOh Rotini Pasta… Your beautiful spirals, your tender texture, your amazing capacity to hold flavor in your shape…how is it that I could have gone all of these years and not fallen in love with you until now? You were there the whole time, but I never noticed… Perhaps it’s because […]

Cinnamon Chocolate Cookies Dipped in Dark Chocolate I apologize for my absenteeism… I hope I can make it up to you with these amazing cookies. You see, the thing is, oh man, I’m full of excuses. Last week I was struck by 3 bugs. 3 bugs! And I don’t mean the cute, cuddly, 6 legged […]

Poached Egg on Roasted Asparagus with Creamy Mustard SauceI really love healthy food. I really really really do. Dare I say I think I like it even better than the ridiculously decadent desserts I tend to come up with on a daily basis… Why? Well, for one thing, I can eat a lot more of […]

Yin Yang Cookies.Harmony. Balance. Two wildly different things uniting to make something truly wonderful. The yin yang. This week has had a lot of the balancing act going on for me. For example: being a 5:30 am gym goer, but not wrapping a photo shoot until 1:30 am, then trying desperately to stay awake all […]

Vegan Pomegranate Kahlua BrowniesWell, hello there, Beautiful! I see you’ve got a little secret you’re trying to keep from me… Is it that you’re studded with little jewels of pomegranate, or is it that you’re vegan? A vegan brownie that tastes this good? How is that even possible? Perhaps it’s because, among your many secrets, you’re […]

Mexican Style Egg White PoppersHigh protein. Low carb. Tasty little morsels of awesomeness. I love ’em because they’re so versatile as far as what time of day to eat them. Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? Snack? Wham-bam, good for all four. Plus, I flip over anything I can top with Cholula. Or stick jalapeños in. Or cilantro. […]

Pomegranate CosmopolitanBecause sometimes you just need a drink. And if you’re like me, you like that drink to be fruity, or chocolately, or coffee-y (?), and basically just straight up delicious. And if you’re like me, you will garnish the crap out of that drink because given the choice between lime, red sugar, and pomegranate […]
