End of Summer vibes, for me, is all about using up the last tomatoes, ripe to their finest, and cooking them with everything and anything. Just sliced, sprinkled with sea salt and drizzled with olive oil? Perfection. Added to a fresh salad? Delicious. Blended into a...

I’ve always wanted to have the traditional Southern American style Cornbread recipe. Rich and decadent, the original recipe usually asks for ingredients I don’t tipically use in my kitchen, so I decided to develop a healthier version, with whole flours and...

As soon as I got home from my Summer vacations, I started batch cooking for the week: chopped fresh veggies, made a simple hearty soup, breakfast bars, granola, cooked millet, avocado cream… and this Chia Pudding of course! I believe in meal prepping as a...
