Hi, I'm Kaiti and I'm a bad blogger. Haha! I say that because I probably should've had this post up at the beginning of this week instead of posting it the day of. My creative powers were flowing on other projects that I'll share with you in the weeks to come. And while those are functioning normally, I've been suffering from some serious writer's block. It's hard to be a lifestyle blogger when there is literally NOTHING HAPPENING in your day to day life. ANYWAYS... Today is National Mac and Cheese Day! If you've been reading my blog since…

Have you ever had one of those days when you just needed something sweet like, five minutes ago? Personally, I'm not normally one to keep cookies/sweets in the house because, A) the neverending sweet tooth (read: boyfriend) would eat it or B) I would eat it when I don't necessarily need it, thus spinning my diet out of control. So, I've come up with a solution that fits the bill: A brownie in less than five minutes. #PantryStaples I always have baking supplies on hand... Baking for me is therapeutic. If I'm having a rough mental health day, focusing on…

Last week I posted a general post about mental health/depression and ways to take control of it.

I share this information because I believe in making informed decisions and I believe In food as medicine. Additionally, I have…

Hey there, my name is Kaiti and I've been managing my depression for 6 years. While it is important to note that I am not a mental health professional, I believe in creating a conversation about mental health and exploring a wide range of options to work towards treatment/management. I'm writing today about alternative methods (non-pharmaceutical) that have helped me to manage my own mental health. I have been working on my own management methods for a few years with the assistance of my therapists, and you should discuss alternative management with your mental health care provider before starting anything. If…

The move is complete! If you've followed my social media, you know I have just recently moved... Hence the radio silence over here! While I'm still on the hunt for a job, I'm going a little stir crazy at home and trying to save money so I don't go broke during the transition. I know this feeling all too well, so I made this Sweet Potato Black Bean Burger. Sweet and smoky, with a little heat, this burger is good for you AND easy on your wallet! Status Update – Positive “…We don’t look backward for very long. We keep…

The winds of change are blowing me onto my next adventure, so my Mac Attack Series is coming to an end sooner than planned. This will be the last mac and cheese post in the series. From my not so basic mac and cheese to the Ultimate BBQ mac and cheese (and everything in between!), this series has been a blast, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t reinvent a pseudo-mac and cheese meal from my past... how often did you have Hamburger Helper growing up (or even now)? “For our first date, I made Ryan Hamburger Helper, which is…
