About

We are two young attorneys living in Washington D.C., though our first love is the law, food is a close second.  We enjoy preparing and eating simple, natural, delicious foods.  Although eating healthy is our goal, we find value in using whole ingredients versus highly processed low-fat foods.  Being single professionals, we focus on recipes for smaller groups or couples that do not require hours in the kitchen.

We hope you enjoy the site and feel free to leave your comments and suggestions.

My food philosophy is that nothing is ever off limits. I allow myself to eat whatever I want whenever I want while trying to make the best decisions possible for my body, soul, and peace of mind. I follow a vegetarian diet because I strongly oppose U.S. slaughter practices and policies. I’ve followed this diet for a little over a year now and find it to be healthy, fulfilling and a great way to maintain my physical and mental well being. I love food and my passion for really good food grew from my experiences working in fine dining during college. Since then, I’ve explored food territory all over the world and become inspired to cook and eat better. I want to learn more and be smarter about what I eat. My hope for this blog is to share what I learn through my culinary adventures with you. Thank you for being a part of this!

I’ve had a strong connection with cooking and all things foodie from a young age. I love finding new recipes, experimenting, and having a VERY diverse diet (especially thanks to this blog!) I would describe my diet as being mainly vegetarian- I eat vegetarian for lunch and have meat/poultry twice a week, at the most. However, I can always be up for a burger or a steak if the mood strikes and especially if its grass fed organic, which I try to purchase when I cook or eat meat. I look for all natural products and encourage myself to discover new recipes and ways of cooking healthfully. However, I do not believe in limiting myself food-wise. Although I eat healthfully most of the time, I think that moderation is key and that you should never restrict yourself too much- life isn’t fun if you can’t ever have a piece of pie or some fries.

Besides living in D.C. and cooking, I LOVE to read, I’m a MOVIE fiend – I will see almost anything, and travel ( I’ve been across the U.S., Greece, Italy, England, Ireland), and I love hanging with my boyfriend, and visiting with family and friends. I hope that you continue to visit our blog!
