    Cucumber Noodles with Avocado Pesto | The Divine Hostess

    Hey healthy bunnies!   Lately I’ve been feeling like I’ve been dragging my feet with keeping my flare ups in check. About 2 years ago, I found out that I had a laundry list of foods of which I was highly reactive to and it’s been a journey.   When inflammation happens anywhere in the body, it is sort of like an alarm. Lately there has been a lot of medicine that reduces inflammation, but I am interested in  understanding why it is there in the first place. I know certain foods, lack of sleep, and even emotionally tough times can cause my body to react poorly. As a result,…

    Cleanse Week

    I’ve teamed up with my friend L’aisha who you may know as MakeupanBeautyJunkie to do a week of cleansing. It’s a great way to boost energy, metabolism, and kickstart the new season without getting sick. We’ve decided to do a one week raw food challenge. To make it easier with long days and hard workouts, we’ve opted to do raw food till 4pm, which gives us a chance to have a warm sensible meal for dinner. We will be doing vegan food at dinner time. We will be sharing our meals and experiences over the next 7 days, and we hope you will join us! Feel free to modify as…

    Mason Jar Berry Trifle

    Is it just me, or are mason jars STILL all the rave?? I really thought this was a passing trend, but it looks like they are here to stay. I have to say, I am here for it! They are super cute and make food very portable. Of course, the original purpose of mason jars was to have an airtight container to preserve foods, but now they are used in so many instances. Many will be heading outdoors for 4th of July festivities and whether it is to the park, beach, or to a neighbor’s backyard barbecue, making dessert in these cute little containers come in handy. As for the…

    Apple Walnut Steel Cut Oats

    It’s only Monday morning and I already know this is going to be an extremely busy one! Since I’ve been up rather early this morning, I’m taking a breather and enjoying breakfast in bed and watching a little of Populaire on Netflix. Mondays are a mixture of anxiety and excitement for many because most are looking to accomplish a whole lot, but also sad the weekend has come to an end. As far as health goes, Monday is usually the day people say they will begin eating right. It’s a fresh start! If you follow my Facebook fan page, you know I eat a lot of oatmeal. A few people…

    Glam Water

    I don’t know about you, but washing dishes is my least favorite chore! This is a shame because I’m constantly creating a mess in the kitchen as I create dishes for this blog and also my YouTube channel. I was especially tired the other day and decided to make myself a little drink to relax and reward myself before bed. I don’t drink alcohol, but I can still have a nightcap! đŸ˜‰ The ingredients are simple: Sparkling mineral water Pomegranate seeds The juice of half of a lime One lime slice I think the result is absolutely beautiful, especially since most of the pomegranate seeds float and I stay suspended…

    Peach Cobbler-Inspired Mug Cake (Vegan)

    My goal is always to eat clean, but sometimes I cannot fight the urge to indulge on a perfectly warm and sweet dessert. Mug cakes are great because you are making a single serving of cake and you can completely control how much sugar and fat go in it. No need to cook from a box! With peach and cinnamon as the main flavors, I call this delicious dessert the Peach Cobbler Inspired mug cake. Since there was no need for egg, and I used coconut milk, it happens to also be vegan! Share with others and please let me know if you give this a try! xoxo Fifi
