Portobello Mushrooms are one of my favorite fungi on the market. Typically when making a veggie compilation you will see a portobello thrown in there too.

Since it’s extremely hot in Chicago, I opted to create something quick and delicious. Thankfully, I had all the ingredients on-hand. After eating this salad it reminded me of Burger King’s shrimp […]

While skimming through recipes on Youtube, I came across the perfect meal. This recipe incorporated every veggie I […]

Since the beginning of the New Year, I’ve been attempting to be more health conscious. Being active in the gym, packing the protein and trying to eat lean are just a few things I’ve been doing. Through the journey the hardest thing to do is stay away from sweets! Ugh. I’m like a moth to a […]
