A busy week doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice healthy and tasty fuel. During a hectic week of work I caught myself not having as much time or energy to cook when I got home but I know that eating take-out or cereal would only make me more tired and stressed in the long run. … Continue reading Weeknight Dinners

Cooking for One
Cooking for 1 and cooking for 5 are very different animals - it can be easy to just slap a frozen pizza in the oven or heat up a microwave dinner. But with some planning and creativity you can enjoy all the healthy recipes you make for the whole family work for you! Here are … Continue reading Cooking for One
A new staple
Hi everyone, sorry for such a long hiatus but I’m excited to be back. For my first post in awhile I want to share a product that I’ve really been enjoying lately - corn tortillas! As someone who doesn’t eat gluten or like bread I tend to miss out on bread/dough dependant foods like sandwiches … Continue reading A new staple
Two New Things and a Breakfast
Now that I’m back from my (amazing) semester abroad, I’m pretty excited to be home and try some new things in the kitchen. While I was away I wrote a few posts which mentioned increasing protein intake and breakfast size, two things I still want to focus on now that I’m home. In years past … Continue reading Two New Things and a Breakfast

Easy and Balanced Dinner
Part of the Danish culture is that everyone takes part in the family and household chores. Today marked my first night to make dinner for my host-family. It's traditional here for each child (once they're old enough) to make one meal a week - so Thursday's dinner is mine. Since I haven't cooked a … Continue reading Easy and Balanced Dinner
A different type of sandwich
As you've seen I like to have salads for lunch but sometimes you're in the mood for a sandwich or something warm. Today I was both. I'm not really a sandwich person because I don't eat a lot of bread. All breads are different but typically breads are low in essential nutrients, high in … Continue reading A different type of sandwich
Holiday Balance
The Holiday season can be synonymous with binge eating and sugar overloads but it doesn't have to be. Cookies, chocolates and creams may taste really good but most of us can often forget how a holiday super binge can leave you feeling bloated, sluggish and/or sick. Different people have different methods for handling the holidays … Continue reading Holiday Balance
