    Delicious Vegetarian Lentil Meatballs

    I made yellow lentils the other day, and after my fourth meal of reheated lentils, knew that I needed to try something new.

    Apps to Make 2018 Your Fittest Year Yet

    Every year, I make the resolution to get fit, only to run 20 miles in the first week, give up all carbs for kale chips in the second, and then fall into a cycle of hot dogs and Netflix bingeing, all before January ends. Thankfully, it is now easier than it has ever been to…

    6 Ethical Lifestyle Brands That Will Shape The Way You Shop

    It takes about 1,800 gallons of water to make one pair of jeans. On top of this water waste, distributing clothing takes massive amounts of fuel and packaging, and thousands of factory workers and farmers die every year due to pesticides or poor working conditions. The average sewer, for example, makes just 45 cents for…

    Healthy Pumpkin White Bean Soup

    After finally cooking our pumpkin, I was so excited to start cooking with it! Winter has officially set up camp in the Northeast, bringing rainy afternoons and frosty mornings. Along with a common cold that I just can seem to shake. I knew that I wanted to cook up something warm, comforting and healthy and…

    5 Steps to a Perfectly Cooked Pumpkin

    Our beautiful little pumpkin had been sitting, staring at us from the kitchen table since our pre-Halloween adventure, but the thought of peeling it, cutting, gutting, dicing and cooking it was so daunting that I had just let it sit. For weeks. Just as the top was starting to change color I found a little…

    A Lazy Girl’s Homemade Pumpkin Spiced Latte

    I woke up this morning to the orange leaves outside and a craving for a fall treat. I did not, however, want to venture outside and run down to Starbucks for a sugar-filled, syrupy cup o’ joe. Somewhere between temptation and disappointment it hit me, I could just recreate a healthier version at home. No…

    Homemade Hummus

    There are so many brands of hummus out there, some better than others, but nothing beats the homemade stuff! I became more aware of the different types and their ingredients when my fiancé noticed that some of the brands were giving him a funny tummy. For weeks our apartment was like a lab with us…
