I’ll start this with a disclaimer – I live here. It wasn’t on my radar when I moved here, but after living in this neighborhood for nine months I can’t imagine living anywhere else in London. To be fair, I think every neighborhood has something special to offer – some are near water, others have…

Go-To Dinner: Buffalo Chicken Salad
Buffalo chicken is one of those combinations that I just adore – wings, in a wrap, on a salad – you name it and I love it! With that said, it normally doesn’t scream HEALTH – but that doesn’t have to be the case. A lot of buffalo chicken recipes call for a sauce composed…
Lunch Box Series – Part 1
I started to bring my lunch to work back in 2010 – wow that feels like ages ago now – and haven’t looked back since! I was a few years out of college, about to enter grad school and buy our first condo, and needed to start saving money wherever I could. This seemed like…
Sunday Meal Prep – Week 10
Week 10 – I can’t believe the blog is about to enter into month 4, what fun I’m having! I hope you find the SMP series as a source of inspiration when you aren’t sure what to make for the week ahead – that can be so frustrating, there are a million recipes on the…
Tuna Salad 101
Tuna salad is one of those things I’ve always loved – I’m pretty sure I used to get made fun of in elementary school due to my “stinky” sandwiches, but I stuck to my guns and didn’t let those kids ruin my favorite sandwich! I now prefer it with a fork, served with a side…
Italian Stuffed Zucchini Boats
I used to think I didn’t like zucchini – I’m not sure what I was thinking, it’s now one of my favorite veggies. I think the thing I like most about it is how versatile it is – it doesn’t have a very strong flavor, so it’s perfect in so many dishes without overpowering them….
Sunday Meal Prep – Week 9
It wasn’t planned, but this week’s meal prep came together SO quickly – if you are stressed for time, this would be a great menu to go with! I was done with everything in under two hours, including chopping/baking/cleaning – that’s a win in my book! It’s starting to get nicer here in London, meaning…
Go-To Dinner: Greek Tahini Salad
Greek/Mediterranean flavors are some of my absolute favorites – everything tastes so amazing and you don’t need a ton of time or ingredients to pull a meal together. This salad is one I just love and always satisfies my craving for “Greek” food! The recipe for the salad isn’t an exact science, it’s more of…
Saturday Adventures: Richmond
Last fall, I did a 25km charity walk along the Thames that passed through Richmond and I made a mental note to come back. It took 8 months, but I made it back and am so happy I did – what a beautiful place! Living in Battersea, the trip to Richmond was incredibly quick –…
How to eat healthy on a budget
Put simply, eating healthy doesn’t break the bank. I know there are some people that will immediately disagree with me, but hear me out. If you want to eat healthy, on a budget, there are ways to do it without existing on rice and beans – you just have to be creative, committed and cognizant…
Honey Oat Breakfast Bars
I’m not sure there’s anyone (ok, I know that’s an exaggeration but work with me here) who hasn’t had a Nature’s Valley granola bar – they were one of my go-to snacks as a kid. It’s such a nice combination – the honey and oats, delicious! With all of that said, though, there’s absolutely no…
Meal Prep – Week 8
Sunday Meal Prep is…back – along with 70/80 degree weather in London – no complaints here! After our trip to Portugal in early April, I headed back to the States for 2.5 weeks to meet my niece, attend two weddings and see all sorts of family/friends. It was SUCH a great trip, but boy it…
