Lick

By Shelley | Published: July 20, 2011

Mmm, mmm, doesn’t this frozen yogurt shop in Brighton, England look oh so tasty? The logo, the minimalism, the doodles on the window, everything about Lick is working for me. I’d want to hang out here just to see the space — the natural frozen yogurt (or yoghurt) would be an added bonus. Did you [...]

Feel Good Friday: Mmm…Pizzzzzza!

By Shelley | Published: March 18, 2011

Pizza is one of my favorite foods, but everyone loves pizza, right? I made my first pizza dough from scratch last Friday night and plan to continue the tradition this week. Last week I made Smitten Kitchen’s Really Simple Homemade Pizza and I couldn’t get over how good it was. The crust was fluffy, chewy, [...]

By Shelley | Published: February 21, 2011

Well that’s it. My vegan challenge has officially ended. It actually ended last week when my boyfriend told me he brought me Belgium chocolate back from his trip from Germany.

Vegan Challenge: Day 3

By Shelley | Published: February 9, 2011

Day 3 of 7: So far being vegan has had some ups and downs. On the up-side, I’ve felt great. Getting rid of dairy has also eliminated a lot of desserts that I used to eat…like every day. And it’s made me more aware of just how many sugary treats I was eating. On the [...]

Inspired by Oprah’s show, I decided to give a vegan diet a try for a week. As a vegetarian, that’s not necessarily a huge leap, but it’ll still be a change. My friend Emily and I put together some meal ideas for anyone wanting to join but not sure of what they’ll actually be able [...]

Friday Feel Good: Healthy Food

By Shelley | Published: January 14, 2011

I’m feeling a little under the weather today and that means it’s time for me to load up on comfort food. My idea of comfort food has changed over the years, going from mac n’cheese to fruit, veggies, and whole grains. One of my favorite sources of recipes and food inspiration is Sarah Britton’s blog, My [...]
