Common scenario: You get invited to a holiday party. You want to bring something that's festive and sweet to share, but don't want to be *that* person who just makes chocolate chip cookies or something. Or, maybe you're that person that can't have gluten and dairy and always get made fun of for bringing the "ugly gluten-free dessert." Enter: Matcha tea chocolate truffles! I love this recipe for a few reasons. First of all, matcha is bright green, so this dessert looks very festive ... View the Post
Peppermint Tea Latte
Nothing is better than a warm drink as the weather starts to get cold outside. One of my favorite holiday flavors is peppermint. When I was a kid, peppermint tea was the only tea I would drink.

I drink tea on ... View the Post

For the next like, two weeks, I craved donuts. Bad. So naturally, when considering what I wanted to post about around Valentine's Day, I thought– donuts. For those who ... View the Post
Recipe: Berry Chia Pudding
So, chia. It looks like birdseed. And if you eat it plain, it kind of tastes like it too! However, it's rich in fiber, omega-3 fats, protein, vitamins (source). I used to throw some chia on my oatmeal to try and disguise it in one of my daily meals, but no other recipe aside from this one makes eating this stuff so delicious. Honestly, when I eat this berry chia pudding for breakfast, I forget that I'm eating a "healthy food" and actually just enjoy myself. And as if that weren't enough, ... View the Post
