My name is Kelly, and I’m an Indian-food-aholic. Pre-Advocare cleanse (update on that later in the post), my friend Lauren and I had these coupons for our local Indian buffet that basically made it $5, which basically forced us to eat there every Thursday for lunch. After weeks of eating piles of delicious pakoras, navartan korma, saag, paneer tikka masala, and…
Read moreI don’t know about you, but after Easter I have a pile of chocolate bunnies just waiting to be eaten. Everyone is going to think I’m insane, but I don’t like to just nom on a brick (or bunny) of plain chocolate (unless it’s really good chocolate). Every year, chop those bunnies up and turn them into something delicious. This year? Chocolate and hazelnut banana breakfast cake. Phew, that name is a mouthful, but a…
Read moreApparently, I eat a lot of cheese. Can’t help it, it’s delicious. Regular cheese, vegan cheese, cheese substitutes, I want it in my life and I want it often. Unfortunately, no matter how much I love cheese, it never loves me back, so if I want my pants to fit, I have to make other wise choices when I use it. My favorite way to lighten up a recipe?

I’ve probably said a million times already how I stopped eating meat so young, that I never tried a lot of different things. A meatball sub is one of those many things. They always look so hearty and so satisfying….
Read moreAfter all the sweet stuff I posted last week, I felt a little like I had to prove I eat real food. If you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen the HUGE box of stuff Udi’s Gluten Free sent to me last week. I was so excited to start trying stuff out that we just had to have a gluten-free dinner 🙂 I’ve been having probably a little too much fun trying out the fourteen products they sent over, so expect a review (and a giveaway)…
Read moreEvery time I post a recipe that is not inclusive to all diets, I feel irrationally bad. Because I have dietary restrictions, I try to cater to everyone. True, it’s easy enough to look at a recipe and figure out what you can change to make it suit you, but isn’t it nice when you look at something and it’s already perfect? Or at least offers tried and true suggestions for what would make it work. I’m just not talented…
