elimination diet friendly recipes i love, and a couple that i want to give a try (: all recipes are gluten, dairy, seafood, nut, and egg free - alternatives to gluten and dairy can obviously be added to any for extra flavoring or taste preference.

These are the places in my regular rotation and I am always excited to go to no matter the drive (althought this list is somewhat central they have varied neighborhoods). You'll leave full and satisfied and that's a promise.
Born & Raised in South Louisiana, I've got the scoop on the best products, places, and recipes when it comes to our cuisine! I shop for and prepare all of the meals in our home for over 16 years, so I'm no stranger to being in the kitchen. I hope this list helps anyone searching for a little splash of Cajun culture in their kitchen, their lives, and their traveling!
I love to cook and bake. It’s definitely a passion of mine and a way to relieve stress. Over the years I have accumulated good quality kitchen tools and gadgets. These are so helpful when cooking or baking. Having good quality tools are important because, as the saying goes, “Buy it nice or buy it twice.” Having fun in the kitchen is also important so I’ve also included so cute and funky options for those who like a little quirk in their lives.
As someone who lives for a good meal, coffee run or sweet treat trust me on these ones. I've been a tourist & now a local so I know the best of the best & only will recommend the best places in Orange County.
As some of you fellow vegans may know, France can be a bit tricky when it comes to finding vegan options so I figured I'd give you a hand by highlighting some of my favourite vegan-friendly spots in Marseille in the South of France, as someone who has lived there for almost 5 years. Bon appetit!
When I was in my twenties I lived in downtown Philly. These were my favorite spots for dates with my husband! When we go back and visit we still go to some of these.
Living in the heart of wine country for over 7 years, I've visited my fair share of wineries. These are some of my personal favorites, and ones I recommend to visiting family and friends and that I go back to time and time again. Enjoy! 🥂

Most Americans land in Amsterdam expecting tulips and cheese wheels — maybe a stroopwafel if someone told them. Nobody warns you that the Netherlands has Indonesian rijsttafel, Surinamese roti, herring stands that somehow slap, and bakeries doing things to bread you didn't think were legal. I spent two weeks eating my way through the country with zero plan and came back ten pounds heavier with very strong opinions. If you're booking your first trip, this saves you from wasting meals on tourist-trap pancake houses.
Again, big tea lover over here 😂 Hot or iced, simplistic or whimsical latte. Love greens, matcha, fun herbal blends and tea latte concoctions! Always excited about new tea-ventures and places to frequent❤️
So there I was … Where's my fellow coffee lovers? I may not have a discerning palate but I'm not a, “just give me whatever,” type of coffee drinker either, though I will take whatever when that's the only choice; I've survived on Army coffee for big chunks of time after all lol. I love trying new coffees and can tell you what tastes good to me and what doesn't. When available, I will include the tasting notes provided but I really taste the chocolate, raspberry, whatever notes; I just know if I love it, I love it; if I don't, I don't. Here's what makes the cut and some of my favorite coffee toys as well.

Enjoy - you will not be disappointed at any of these spots!
Staring at a fridge full of ingredients and having zero idea what to do with them — that was me every single weeknight. I'd follow recipes word-for-word and still somehow mess things up. Took me about two years of burnt dinners and sad pasta to realize the problem wasn't me, it was my tools. This is everything I swapped in that finally let me wing it in the kitchen like someone who actually knows what they're doing.

Took me way too many ruined egg salads to figure this out.
