Last year, I was living in Taiwan and it was such a culture shock for me when the holidays came around. Christmas and Thanksgiving were definitely not as popular of a celebration there and I worked on both days! So this year I’m really treasuring my time with family and friends over the holiday season.

Easy 3 ingredient pumpkin hummus
I have developed a new hummus addiction and I have no shame in admitting that. I’ve spent so much money on hummus lately that I decided that it was about time that we make some on our own at home. And as much as I enjoy boiling and soaking my dried chickpeas at home to […]
