Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Access to Healthy Foods Summit organized by the Access to Healthy Foods Coalition. It was really refreshing to see all of the different ways that organizations, institutuions, and individuals are working together to improve access to healthy foods in Washington State.

Summer Black-Eyed Pea and Spelt Berry Salad
Can you believe that next week is July? Hello, where did June go? I can’t believe that one year ago around this time I was graduating with my Master’s degree, freaking out about what to do with the rest of my life, and doing weird things like dying my hair platinum blonde. At home. Using… Continue Reading
Shredded Green Beans with Lemon-Lime Zest and Snipped Chives
You know that sore muscle feeling that you get the day after a really intense workout? That was my day today. Walking up stairs… painful. Sitting down in a chair…more pain. Getting out of the chair to go to the bathroom? Not worth it; I can hold it. With the recent sunshine I’ve been biking to work… Continue Reading

Radishes tend to get a bad rap, but there is a huge difference between fresh radishes and the big, tough radishes that have been siting at the grocery store for a week.

Kimchee Fried Rice
I am definitely an animal lover. I am the kind of person that will help a lost dog find its owner, cry over roadkill, and talk about cats for hours on end. I am also vegan and although initially this decision was not based on my love for animals, I now think it’s an important… Continue Reading
Samoa Cookies
Somewhere in between a vacation with my partner, a gigantic plumbing failure in our apartment, and baking these cookies… it’s suddenly June. Hello sunshine. I’ve appreciated the down time of the last few weeks more than I can possibly explain. Taking a vacation and focusing on being present, relaxing, and taking care of myself was… Continue Reading
