The Instant Pot has literally saved dinner time, parties, get-togethers and hanger meltdowns for me. I feel somewhat indebted to it, so consider this an ode to the Instant Pot. Let me preface this post by saying this is not a sponsored post. Instant Pot has not now or ever contacted me regarding partnering (although […]

This Lemon & Asparagus Risotto comes just in time to give you a filling yet light dish for Spring. Enjoy it topped with grilled shrimp or use it as a side dish at a BBQ. Nothing beats sunshine and 70-degree weather, am I right? I am LOVING spring and don’t even mind the occasional rain […]

There is nothing […]

It’s okay, you can judge me for my boots, but I was warm-ish, so I’ll take the criticism. Philly Philly This past weekend was jam packed with food, friends, and fitness. Sounds like a normal weekend for me, I know. The major differences were that 1. the fitness was a competition instead of just a […]

Sassy’s Game Day Nachos Yesterday I was talking all about balance, so it is only suiting that I bring you a recipe for nachos today, agreed? While I’m not saying eat nachos on the regular, there is a time and a place where they are appropriate (and dare I say necessary?). The Super Bowl happens […]
