Below you'll find more about me, my adventures, and favorite food finds ~ enjoy!
Foodie Since 1994
 First time making this vegetarian fajita bowl and it was so delicious! I sauteed frozen peppers and onions with Quorn "chickn tenders" and seasoned that with cayenne, chipotle seasoning, cumin, and salt and pepper. I mixed this with a brown rice/quinoa mix and put some fat free cheddar and taco sauce on top! It only took ten minutes, and is my new favorite meal! |  I really enjoy painting and I made this piece for my mom's photo wall in the dining room. I saw a piece with the same saying going for $55 online, I made this for $6! |  I've perfected 2 ingredient dough! I used 1 cup of flour 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of fat free greek yogurt, and 1/4 tsp. of yeast. I mixed all the ingredients in a bowl and let it rise for 30 minutes before kneading and rolling into my desired shape (in this case a pizza crust). I let it rise again and then topped it with homemade pizza sauce, fat free mozzarella, and frozen veggies! Give it a try! |

 One of my closest friends from softball and high school is engaged! Noelle asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding and of course I said yes! I am excited to support her and be a part of such an amazing couple's journey. |  Happy Holidays! I am so thankful for my family around the holidays as we find new traditions that continue to make us laugh and stay creative. This year we did a gingerbread house competition, and the internet voted and my mom and I tied for first place (From left to right: Brian, Mom, Me, Walter) |  Bee Balanced is a Facebook group I created for like-minded women who are trying to achieve balanced lifestyles (health, wellness, spiritually, mindfullness, fitness, etc.) It is a small group of women who can share and post what they are doing to achieve balance in their lives. I post weekly forums and excerpts about overall health and wellness. I have created forums on topics such as New Years' Resolutions, Motivation, Eating Habits, Physical Activity, and Mindfulness. |
 Our second Friendsgiving! Thankful for my amazing friends, Steven and Shayne, who I can always count on. |  After the Culinary Medicine class, I took what I learned home, and created my own pasta dish! I used a No Sugar Added pasta sauce, half lentil pasta/ half spiralized carrots, and meatless meatballs! Very delicious! I love trying new things, especially trying to add more vegetables into recipes I already love. A recent habit of mine is trying vegetarian options. |  Our second try at the Subways Series was a success! The light rain didn't delay the game and most importantly, the Mets won! |
 A grill’s best friend! One of my favorite parts of camping is cooking. Each year I try new techniques to make delicious food. Here I'm grilling some vegetables to go along with our steaks. |  A group of us went on a hike while camping that led us nowhere other than into a thunderstorm and torrential downpour. |  Here is a close up of the veggies we had that night - mushroom, green squash, onion, and bell pepper! |
 I am happiest while sleeping in a tent, roasting marshmallows on a campfire, and enjoying the great outdoors with the people I love. |  Plated steak and veggies! I didn’t finish my steak and reused the rest for steak and eggs in the morning! |  Walter and I went to one of the Subway Series games and it was delayed due to rain. We still had fun in our ponchos! |
 Walter’s family goes to Wildwood every summer for vacation. His family has been going down since before he was born, and I was lucky enough to come along this year! It was great to spend time with his extended family while enjoying the sun and sand. |  My dad lives in Myrtle Beach and I visit him once or twice a year. We take his boat on the inter-coastal waterway to enjoy some food, drinks, and music! We brought along his rescue dog, Gracie the first day - she didn’t seem to like it too much! I get to spend time with my father and my aunt while down in SC each year. I’m thankful for this vacation and the fun I always have. |  Walter Graduated! I’m so happy for him as he’s worked so hard to achieve all that he has - which includes graduating with Magna Cum Laude! So excited to see what is in store for him next! |
 Champions! My team and I won the No Idea Sports Co-ed Softball Tournament in Morristown. I played baseball and softball growing up, playing on co-ed teams and in tournaments keeps the love for the sport going for me. |  Fresh fish tacos on the coast before camping with my sister in CA. The avocado cilantro dressing was the best part! |  My heart belongs in Lake Tahoe. In August of 2017 I went to CA to visit my sister and fell in love with Lake Tahoe. I was able to explore the lake, nearby trails, and meet her new dog, Gio! I love Tahoe because of the way of living, history, and amazing views of the mountains around the area. |
 Our view from our campsite in Asalona Campground, NY. Had a great weekend in the sun and being able to sleep yards from the Delaware River. |  I will always give thanks to my favorite tour guide while in Rome, my best friend, Gina. I visited her while she was studying abroad and she gave me the best trip a friend could’ve asked for. |  I had an amazing time playing in the Breast Intentions Tournament with girls from my high school softball team! We didn’t win, but it was great to be on the field with these girls again for a great cause. |
 Sight seeing while in Italy has been my favorite adventure to this day. I will never regret taking the time to go see other parts of this amazing world and enjoy cuisine from another culture. |
