Words can’t begin to describe the respect and love I have for my father. My whole life I have seen him work his ass of, being one of the most selfless person that I know. The countless hours driving me back and forth to dance practices and competitions, the amount of money forked out so I even could dance, and even dealing with me through my teenage years. I am thankful every day to have a dad like him, one who has supported me through everything that I have done. With everyt

As much as I love myself some banana bread, sometimes it’s nice to change things up. I don’t know about you but I have been loving sweet potatoes lately. Either eating them roasted with toppings, sweet potato toast, or just straight up fries. It is probably one of the most versatile food out there! Like I mentioned in my last post, I have been on a bread franzie lately. Combining combinations that may go together, and making them healthy so I don’t feel bad for indulging on a

I have been on a baking craze lately, and I am not mad about it. I mean who doesn’t love a nice baked good to warm the soul? And come on, you can’t beat the delicious aroma your house gets filled with. About a year or so ago I went to this donut shop in LA with my mom called, fo-nuts.

My dad told me that when I was two my neighborhood had a block party, but that was only a one time thing. Since then we haven’t had any elaborate BBQ’s or huge parties, and honestly, the past five years I have spent Memorial Day working in a restaurant. I always got offended when I would see people getting completely trashed on this holiday, but I guess here

Since starting this journey, I find it so much fun to create and develop my own recipes. One thing that I love to snack on, and maybe snack too much sometimes (oops), is granola. We always have in the house Nature Paths Ancient Grains, which is packed full of good for you grains and almonds. Even though that granola is decently good for you already, I knew, like any idea of mine, that I could make it better. This recipe adapted from a granola bar I was experimenting with a co

Mother’s Day. A day where we celebrate how amazing our mothers are. If I’m being honest with you, my mother and I didn’t always have the best relationship when I was growing up. We fought a lot, and it seemed to me, at the time, that I would never have a great relationship with her. But those were my teenage years, and if I’m being honest again, I definitely was not the easiest teenager to deal with. (sorry mom) Today our relationship is better than ever, and I am proud to ca
