How to Follow Your Dreams



How could I convince you to follow your dream? (And enjoy doing it!)

5 Books to Read Before School Starts


Books have this magical power of bringing us out of reality and into some world that engulfs our minds and freezes time. I've found that just a little reading everyday (for pleasure of course) can brighten your mood and help destress.

Chickpea, Cauliflower & Coconut Tomato Stew

On my trek to healthy eating, I've found that sacrificing taste is a complete myth. It's a myth! I've also found that I love all things with a tomato base (I mean how could you go wrong?). I hardly used to eat chickpeas but I've recently been throwing it into everything.

Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus


Wait, can I just say one word.... YUM! This is one of my favorite flavor combinations and I love anything you can eat pita bread with. So voila! A masterpiece.

Pineapple Chicken Stir-Fry


Oh this is one of my favorites. It's fresh, it's sweet, it's spicy, it is simply delicious. And better yet, it's so easy to make! It's one of those meals you can make on a weeknight without the hassle.

Chopped Pita Salad with Tzatziki

So all problems solved, right?
