Recently it feels as if time is passing by prematurely, like yesterday there is snow on the floor and wasn’t it simply Christmas after i baked a batch of cinnamon rolls and everything brunched inside our pajamas? There are specific times while i appreciate how quickly the hours fade, just like the sunset at night. And other times where all I’d like to do is linger in these moments for a couple times, soaking up every drop of memory space and pleasure. But as we understand, life will move you by if you spend too much time taking into consideration the past or long term.

This has been my mantra lately. Reside in the moment. Do what you feel is right. Constantly trust your center. I’ve been on a quest to visit even more; there’s something about it that feeds my soul, filling it with understanding, contentment, adventure and love. I am towards the Caribbean, Arizona, Minnesota and Texas allRead more

Healthy banana waffles made incredibly fluffy and light with quinoa flour. They’re crispy externally and wonderful and light in the centre – the way a waffle should be. On top of that they’re good for you, and filling!

It’s been a while! How was your Xmas? Did you eat too many Oreo balls? Consume an excessive amount of cheese? Stuff your face with finger meals until you merely couldn’t anymore? Create a wedding cake with over 6 sticks of butter? Okkayyyyyy maybe that was me. Oops! Oh and I believe I forgot toRead more

As you can plainly see via Instagram, Tony and I have already been barbecuing up a storm this summer. In fact, we been barbecuing on our deck just about any night while our adorable small cat Milly pieces and meows beyond your window. We contact it family night. Hah.

If you’ve been following AK for some time now, you know that my sweetheart is deeply in love with meat, fries and pizza. On the other hand, I’m fond of spinach, avocados and nut butters. It’s an unusual little combination but we like and accept each other’s dependence on particular foods, often planning meals aroundRead more

Each and every Summer since I used to be a babes, I’ve gone to a family cabin in Northern Minnesota to celebrate the 4th of July. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite vacations because we all get together and celebrate with ridiculous little traditions.

It all begins early in the morning when my Godmother (my second Mother) puts an old college Shaggy CD on full blast. Whenever we had been little, we hated his music having a passion. These days, it does make us have a good laugh and we stumble away from our rooms cracking up and shakingRead more

Happy weekend. Do you realize yesterday was mozzarella cheese pizza day time? I went on a four mile run after that celebrated by literally inhaling almost an entire margherita pizza chased down by way of a spicy grapefruit margarita from Burch in Minneapolis. Oh and I cannot forget about the carrot cake either.

Without a doubt about this man I used to date.

He was nice, fun and quite interesting. Adventurous, too! Regrettably, he was also incredibly challenging. To be honest, he annoyed me a significant bit… but in that great sort of method. Does that make sense? Anyway no hard feelings there. The idea I’m obtaining across is the fact that my relationship with him is fairlyRead more

You can find usually only two things on my mind once i roll out of bed in the morning: coffee and checking emails. However, this morning I woke up with a huge craving for a stack of fluffy blueberry pancakes.

Wait, that’s not a big shock is it? My Instagram accounts is filled with photos of pancakes plus I even had them for dinner last night. Don’t judge, you understand Brinner (breakfast for supper… duh) is pretty much the best thing ever. My pictures really do not carry out the pancakes any justice so I’llRead more

WELCOME to the beginning of what I’m calling The Chicago Series, an Ambitious Kitchen lead to the very best areas for food & engaging in Chicago! This first guide came about due to my unprecedented love for donuts, in conjunction with a crazy great low important donut picture in Chicago.

Since moving here almost two years back, I’ve been incredibly impressed with the amount of great tasting donut shops. Each place focusing on their own unique take, from extra fat and yeasty to traditional old fashioned with a twist. What could be better than beginning the day having a donut, a sit down elsewhere andRead more
