10 Of My Favorite Recipes

While being abroad I have had some of the best food in my life. However, every now and then I get a craving for an American meal that's a bit harder to find here in Europe. Most of these recipes I just stumbled upon on Pinterest and have been hooked ever since.

Some of these recipes come from the "Skinnytaste" website that my mom and I found a few years ago while searching for meal inspiration. It wasn't the "skinny" aesthetic that drew us to these recipes, but the consideration for real, wholesome ingredients. The site is separated into categories based on meal, season, and even dietary restriction so there are plenty of options for people with gluten or dairy intolerances as well!

I hesitate to promote any "skinny" content, as I don't want to send the wrong idea to anyone who has alternate recipes for the same meals. There are a ton of great recipes out there for some of the same meals listed below, but personally I have tried these and consistently made them because I love the ingredients and taste. So, for anyone looking for new, fun meal inspiration with whole, natural foods, this is a great site to check out!

The rest of these recipes are just as easy and delicious, so get cooking!

1. Turkey Chili Taco Soup

Probably the first thing I'll make when I get home

2. Baked Chicken Parmesan


3. Banana Cranberry bread


4. Turkey Stuffed Peppers


5. Oatmeal Cookies with White Chocolate and Cranberries

(my cousin has the original recipe which is saved away in some old family cookbook, but these are the closest second I could find)


6. Chipotle Chicken Bowls

(so versatile and interchangeable!)


7. Pasta with Chicken Sausage and Veggies

(I loosely follow this recipe but change up the veggies or sauce depending on the day--one of my favorite easy college dinners!)


8. Omelette

Filled with any and all veggies--can be eaten for any meal


9. Grilled Salmon

My favorite is with white rice!


10. Enchiladas

Can you tell I miss Mexican food?


These recipes are all super easy and versatile, to fit even the pickiest of tastebuds! They're some of my all time favorites, but nothing beats my moms homemade recipes that are too precious to be shared just yet :)

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
