Here we are, back again with recipe number three in my Mac Attack Recipe series! If you missed it and love carbs like me, I highly recommend going back to last week’s Mac Daddy Grilled Cheese. It can be made with the first recipe, or if it sounds more appealing, today’s gooey Quick Stovetop Mac recipe would be just as delicious! “I love macaroni and cheese. I could eat it every meal of every day.” -Cobie Smulders Yes, Cobie! Who couldn’t!? The classic pairing of pasta and cheese is right up there with peanut butter and chocolate! It’s like a…

Last week I started my first ever recipe series with my Basic Mac N Cheese. Today I’m taking that basic mac and a little celebrity inspiration to create this week’s Mac Attack recipe: The Mac Daddy Grilled Cheese. "I'm into grilled cheese. Grilled cheese makes me feel beautiful!" -Emma Stone I have it on good authority that Emma Stone loves cheese, “in any form”. So I’m pretty sure that by taking my Mac n Cheese and adding it to a grilled cheese sandwich, is the perfect way to meet her. Emma, if you're reading this, come on over girl! Once…

In the wintertime I like macaroni and cheese." -Jami Attenberg I’m with Jami, but I also like it in spring. And summer. And fall… Ok, I just like Mac n cheese! 7 years ago I was diagnosed with a BRAND NEW… allergy. To dairy. (WOMP!) But I still craved Mac n cheese! I started trying lots of vegan Mac n cheese recipes but they were awful!! The flavor was off. “Cheese” was slimy, and left an awful filmy coating in my mouth… There was a long road ahead of me. That’s Not Cheese! I stumbled on a recipe about a…

**NOTE: I originally wrote this article for Sprouted Magazine in 2015. The Magazine is no longer accessible but the information provided in this article is still very pertinent to today! “But, where do you get your protein?” It’s a question everyone asks a vegan or vegetarian. And the answer, for those who don’t know, “The same place you do, food!” But why is this question one we’re constantly asked? Protein seems to be at the forefront of everyone’s minds these days. Walking into a grocery store is proof, as most of the products are now advertised and labeled as containing…

Old Man Winter made his way to DC this month and normally I'd find comfort in his visit. Though, unlike a call from a kind old friend, he came in like a bulldozer with no sympathy for anyone in his path! The "Bomb Cyclone" was no joke! Temps below freezing, consistent high winds, and no snow made cause for the most unbearable winter I’ve experienced in this area. With a few photos of Elsa being arrested circulating the web, barely helping to lighten the mood, it was miserable. I wanted nothing more than to sit at home by the fire (in…

"No Mud, No Lotus." -Thich Nhat Hanh Over the years I have been diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I refused any medications that I needed to take on a daily basis, only accepting one prescription that I could take on an as-needed basis. Don't get me wrong, regular medication can help people. I just feel like the "magic pills" can do a lot more harm than good. I mean, have you heard the lists of possible side effects that come on at the end of a prescription drug commercial? And what about medications being addicting? It's CRAZY! My thought…
