The Pescetarian and the Pig

First, I need to make sure I take a moment to say Happy Father’s Day to all of the fathers out there! I feel like it’s just as much a celebration for children with wonderful fathers as well. I wish everyone were lucky enough to have a dad as awesome as mine is! A dad […]

Strawberry Banana Greek Yogurt Cake with Orange Glaze. So, here’s the deal. In the past couple of months I have developed the sleeping pattern of a geriatric. I wake up at 4:30 am and I go to bed at 8:30pm. And sometimes I barely even make it that late. I get to the gym at […]

Two, this sandwich happens to be what I named my pet ducks after; Peanut, Butter, Jelly, and Banana Sandwich. I thought about naming this recipe “Quackers Cake”…. and I will probably call it that on […]

When the weather starts to heat up, all i can think about is eating fresh, cold, delicious fruit. One of my summer favorites happens to be raspberries. I created this cake for a light, sweet-tart, and refreshing alternative to the heavy cakes of winter. For best results, make this cake 3 days ahead of serving […]
