I have a thing for all things mini.
Mini Coopers. Mini kittens. Mini fruit. Mini jewelry. But my ultimate weakness is mini utensils.Read More

Frozen Banana Bites
I love my birthday. Is that too narcissistic to admit? I really do.
My birthday is on December 18, and I actually started Fooduzzi on my birthday last year. Because of my birthday’s proximity to Christmas, I’m lucky enough to have an “Alexa’s Birthday Week” of sorts. I always get to see all of my family and friends. I get to partake in the delicious Christmas foods all week. It’s a glorious seven days.Read More
Peanut Butter Magic Shell
It’s interesting to look back upon the things I distinctly remember from my childhood.
Don’t get me wrong, I was a lucky kid. I always had food, toys, a bed, a roof over my head, and more; however, when I look back at my most vivid memories, I can only recall the really obscure, totally bizarre, or downright weird.
Allow me to explain.Read More
Strawberry Banana Sorbet
Summer. It’s so soon, you guys!!
We broke into the 80-degree weather this week. It was one of the most perfect Pittsburgh days I have ever experienced; warm, but not humid. Is that even possible in Pittsburgh?! It. Was. Perfect.Read More
Turmeric Date Almond Milk
I think it’s safe to assume that part of the difficulty of choosing whole foods is convenience.
Just walking to class, I pass a ton of cafes offering sugary caramel macchiatos, bigger-than-my-head-sized muffins, and cookies loaded with chocolate and candy. It would be convenient to grab one of these items to happily chug or munch on during class. And honestly, that was my routine freshman year.Read More
Whole Food Peanut Butter Eggs
There was no greater love than the love between child Alexa and a Reese’s Cup. There was something so utterly addictive about that magical peanut butter-chocolate combination that totally sent me into a tizzy. To say I was a fan is a morbid understatement.
Once I was introduced to the Easter-themed Reese’s Eggs, a new light was shined upon my life. Why do these oblong nuggets taste so superior to their rounded cousins? To this day, I cannot answer this conundrum. All I know is that when those Eggs hit the grocery store shelves, I was there, first in line, with eager hands wide open.Read More
Whole Food Coconut Eggs
I love holidays. They’re the best times to get caught up with that family you always say you’ll call.
In all seriousness, holidays are also a special time to reminisce on the memories of lost loved ones. We have my Grana’s, my late great-grandmother, rice pudding at nearly every family gathering throughout the year. We always share stories about my pap munching on his stinky cheese while drinking his dark black coffee in the morning.
Coming from an Italian family, it should come as no surprise that some of our most cherished memories of these loved ones involve food.Read More
Salted Caramel Coconut Butter
There are so many fun foodie experiments and ingredients I want to try now that I follow a plant-based diet. It’s actually pretty amazing; growing up, I always assumed that vegetarians’ and vegans’ diets were so restrictive. “What do they even eat?!” I remember asking my mom when a vegan family moved into our neighborhood (they were the talk of the town because of their dietary choices). “Eggs, milk, and butter are in everything!”
Oh, wee Alexa. How much you had to learn.Read More
