The Greatest Food Trends 2016 Brought Us
Tumblr

The year 2016 brought a lot of fun food trends and the access to social media helped spread these trends with food videos and Instagram pictures all over the web. If you didn’t get to try these foods in 2016, you should get on it immediately.

Avocado Toast

From adding smoked salmon and red onion to eggs and sriracha to feta cheese and tomato, the possibilities are endless for this breakfast trend.

Sushi Burritos

Poke was huge in general in 2016 but sushi burritos are the best example of it. Everything is better in a burrito and a sushi roll is no exception.

Pasta on Pizza

I’m not sure why it took so long to combine the two best foods but I’m glad somebody did. Like come on, penne with vodka sauce in pizza form? You can’t say no to that.

Smoothie Bowls

They’re pretty and good for you, what more could you ask for?

Zoodles

This pasta alternative took the food world by storm and we aren’t mad about it.

Cauliflower

Who knew you could use this low-calorie vegetable in so many ways? Cauliflower was turned into rice, mashed potatoes, pizza crust, chicken wings and more. Healthy alternatives are always a fan favorite and this was just that.

Rainbow Bagels

This is easily the most fun breakfast item on the market.

Mac n Cheetos

Okay, whoever made the brilliant move to put Flamin’ Hot Cheetos on mac and cheese, I applaud you.

Rolled Ice Cream

This trend isn’t just a tasty treat; it’s way prettier than regular ice cream scoops. Those are so 2015.

Ramen Bowls

They're way more fun to eat than 99-cent ramen, but just as satisfying.



And here's to the new trends 2017 will bring--foodies everywhere are ready for you!

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.
