As a food blogger, I read a lot of food blogs, food magazines and cookbooks, and watch a lot of cooking shows and Youtube channels. All of that information, though, can leave me a little paralyzed. If you don’t make something intricate or “epic” you can feel like what you’re eating isn’t up to par
If you’re here for the giveaway, check the bottom of this post for details & to enter! 🙂 I’m going to admit this right now: I’m a terrible baker, I’m even worse at gluten-free baking, and for someone who has to test recipes day and night, this becomes a major stumbling block. I’m perfectly content
Smoothies are one of my favorite breakfast foods.

There are a few pho places here in our city that make it incredibly well, but if you’re not in a city it might be hard to find.
