Okay, these are to die for! These dates are the most decadent delicious bite there is. My roommate and I absolutely love making these things. The good thing about them is it just takes one date to feel satisfied. I top each date with a pinch of flaky salt leaving your mouth watering over the sweet and salty taste. Feel free to use any chocolate chips you’d like. I prefer Hu dark chocolate baking gems!

Looking for a nourishing, flavor-packed meal to wow your friends (or just yourself)? This Asian-inspired Buddha Bowl is a total knockout! I served it at a girls' dinner night and OMG—every bite was better than the last. Featuring five-spice roasted veggies, basmati rice, tofu-cashew sauté, and a creamy miso tahini dressing, this bowl is endlessly customizable. I topped mine with sautéed spinach, avocado, sprouts, green onions, and furikake for the ultimate umami crunch. Bonus? It tastes even better the next day!

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.
