Melon & Kiwi Agua Fresca

One of my most favorite things about living in LA is how much food diversity we have here. Whatever meal your'e looking for, you'll probably be able to find it... like anything, for reals. And if there's a new food trend buzzing, there's a good chance it started here HAHA!

S.Pellegrino recently got in touch and asked me to share a local food trend from here in Los Angeles. I knew right off the bat I had to share my absolute favorite SoCal trend - AGUA FRESCA!

Festive Summer Fruit Salad

The Fourth of July is next week and I am SO EXCITED! It's definitely one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. And I especially love when it falls on a weekday, because hellooo extra time off work! ;)

We love riding our bikes on the beach bike path here during the summer. We will stop and have lunch and drinks at different places, hang at the beach for a few hours, and then catch the sunset on our ride home. It's my favorite way to spend the day. And it's probably what we will end up doing all next weekend for the 4th!

Pomegranate Avocado Toast

Can you guys believe its almost Thanksgiving? I mean wow. Time is just FLYING and 2016 has been, well... interesting. To say the least. For all of us. But as the year winds down and the holidays come around, I say we embrace these last few weeks of the year and make the most of them!

Thanksgiving is definitely my favorite holiday. Obviously I love to cook and be in the kitchen. And to spend my day cooking, being around family, and sipping wine... to me that is perfection.

Yogurt Dipped Strawberries

Alright, so apparently Valentines Day came early for me this year.

I mean... yes, I am aware it doesn't need to be February 14th to indulge in some whatever-covered strawberries... but I mean look at these things. They totally scream Be Mine. LOL.

Oh well. Sue me.

My Go-To Breakfast Smoothie...

HI GUYS!

Today I'm sharing my favorite go-to breakfast (or anytime really) smoothie recipe.

It's not exactly a groundbreaking recipe. Were definitely not reinventing the wheel here. But... BUT. I do love this smoothie and it really is my ride or die.
