First, I would like to apologize for the lack of posts. Life has been extremely busy balancing work, grad school, and battling Crohn’s disease. This time last year, after enduring many grueling tests, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. I have learned so much over the past year, and while the disease has been a major setback,…

Starting new treatment this week, I needed to turn to something to lift my spirits and stay positive – so of course I turn to baking! (And wine!) I found a recipe for grain-free blueberry crisp on detoxinista.com and wanted to put my spin on it. Blueberries have always been a favorite fruit of mine,…

I have always considered myself to be a Foodie: A person who has a love and appreciation for great food. To me, there is nothing quite satisfying than indulging in my family’s tradition of homemade Italian dishes. I forgot to mention that I am currently in a relationship with Pizza.          …

I forgot to mention in my previous post, that another reason why I am highly anticipating the Fall is for Football. (And let’s not forget Hockey starting in less than a month!) I know what you’re thinking, how can a girl enjoy watching Football? Well, it’s pretty simple actually. Growing up in a male-dominant family…

I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend! I have been seeing statues and tweets of how people are upset summer is coming to an end. But if we want to get technical, summer officially ends Sept. 21 according to our calendars. I don’t know about you, but I have been extremely anticipating Fall season.…

If I have the opportunity to venture out of the Philadelphia area, I seize it. I love exploring and seeing new places and I find that it’s very important for everyone to travel and explore – it gives us a personal realization of a different environment and culture from our own. I had the opportunity…
