I love experimenting in the kitchen, especially with baking. This is my take on a healthier version of the classic morning glory muffin. While most bakeries offer these muffins—and they seem healthy thanks to the carrots—they’re often loaded with refined sugar and processed ingredients. Adding a vegetable doesn’t automatically make a pastry nutritious! So, I reimagined the recipe to be refined sugar-free and optionally gluten-free. I even snuck in an extra veggie: zucchini! Give my version a try and let me know what you think.

A simple, seasonal recipe inspired by a classic Caprese salad—using sun-ripened cherry tomatoes, garden-fresh basil, and vegan feta. It's a fresh, customizable summer dish perfect for showcasing peak-season produce and creative twists on tradition.

Talk about melt in your mouth good! Black cod is the best when freshly caught that day. My favorite fish market to go to is Captain Kidds in Redondo Beach. I was lucky enough to show up at the perfect time, they had just received fresh black cod caught two hours before I got there! The miso glaze I marinated the fish in creates the perfect sweet + tangy bite. I love to top the cod off with furikake and micro greens for a bit of color. Try this glaze on any fish p=of your choice, It even goes well on chicken and tofu!

Superfood bark? Healthy right? WELL, yes in moderation! Still contains sugar, but all natural sugars. I use Hu chocolate baking gems as my bark base, which is only sweetened with raw coconut sugar!

I had leftover berries from the farmer market and decide to create a sweet but tart berry compote to top off my pancakes.
