If you follow me on Snapchat, the excessive amount of kitten pictures I’ve been snapping probably ruined the surprise, but….
We got a kitten! Allow me to introduce you to Maya!Read More

A Week in the Life of a Food Blogger
And it’s Saturday again.
What a glorious sentence.
I’m currently getting cozy on the couch with a giant glass of green tea (with a splash of almond milk) next to my groovy boyfriend. Can life get any better than this?
If you read my Thankful Thursday post, you’ll know that I have been in Texas throughout the week. I came home on Thursday, so I was able to have a wonderful Friday night in with my main squeeze consisting of Thai Peanut Burrito Bowls and wine. I feel like I’m a bit of a broken record because we seem to have this kind of night all the time. But if you try those burrito bowls, you’ll understand. Oh boy, will you understand.
This week was super hectic, but I managed to snap a few pics of some randomness that made me super happy. So, without further adieu, here is A Week in the Life of a Food Blogger. Read More
Thankful Thursday
Howdy! I’m coming at you from the great state of Texas yet again.
Travel has been hard. Granted, I’ve only been at this for two weeks in a row. But being away from the comfort of my own bed, kitchen, and boyfriend has really taken its toll.
It’s incredible the simple things I take for granted, like being able to make tea whenever I want. Sleeping on the best pillow in the entire world. Having my boyfriend wrap his arms around me after a particularly rough day.
You know what else has been difficult? Eating. In the land of all-things beef. And BBQ.
There literally are no restaurants around me that are conducive to my eating style. There’s a Jack-in-the-Box and a Taco Bell across the street. Not much else. I kid you not.
Another thing I take for granted? The Aldi right across the street. Oh, and my fridge. My sweet, sweet fridge.
When life starts going a little wacky, one of the last things on my mind is what I’m thankful for. It’s SO counter-intuitive; when my life seems crazy out-of-control, I should be grounding myself in the things I love most. The things I can always count on to cheer me up or to help me realize just how lucky I am.
As the holiday season grows closer, I find my stress at new highs. Gift-buying, special post-planning, keeping up with a whole foods diet-ing…the holiday stress is real. During the holidays, I definitely lose sight of what’s important in life. I get so lost in the hustle and bustle and holiday “cheer,” that I actually forget to give thanks for all of the good in my life.
This is why I decided to change it up this Thursday and make a list of 50 things I’m thankful for at this very moment. I hope that it can encourage you to make a list of your own. Feeling zany? Leave a few in the comments! I’d love to bounce some ideas off of each other and add to my list. You can never be thankful for too many things!Read More
A Week in the Life of a Food Blogger
Oh, Saturday. You could not have come at a better time!
I was traveling for work this week, and it was the first time I had ever been in Texas. Destination: Houston. Guys. Houston is AWESOME. The houses are gorg. The cars are stunning. The weather was perfect. The people are out-of-this-world nice. It’s a fantastic city to visit.
But boy, is it good to be back. I am happily enjoying my own bed, my own kitchen, and time with my own boyfriend this Saturday.
Although I’m seriously loving being home, I have quite an exciting week to share with all ya’ll. So without further adieu, may I present A Week in the Life of a Food Blogger! Read More
A Week in the Life of a Food Blogger
Hello, you lovely reader you, and a very happy Saturday to ya.
Mark and I are having an extremely productive day today. I’ll be traveling for work next week, so, on top of our normal Trader Joe’s run, I’ll be working to produce some kick-butt fall-inspired recipes to keep your hunger at bay this season. Any requests?!
That being said, I wanted to introduce a new series to Fooduzzi that dips a little more into my personal life. I’m constantly whipping out my phone in the hopes of capturing each and every glorious moment I experience during the week. And, because it’s fall, my phone has literally been attached to my hand at all hours of the day (don’t believe me? Follow me on Snapchat [@fooduzzi] to see all of my fall-themed shenanigans). For these reasons, and because this past week was really freakin’ exciting, here’s a fun little photo recap of a week in the life of a food blogger.Read More
