Fennel Kale & Red Cabbage Soup with Toasted Almonds & Anise Seed
Fennel. Such an awesome, hard-working herb. I used to think it was a vegetable, but it's actually a perennial herb related to parsley, carrots and dill. It has a lovely aromatic, licorice-y, anise-y flavor. It's something I love to eat but rarely buy at the market, which is crazy/ridiculous given what a nutritional powerhouse it is (great source of … Read More...

Red Quinoa Edamame & Mandarin Orange Salad with Citrus Dressing
This is a salad I made over the holidays. Not only does it look quite festive, but it was a big hit! Just a few chops of the veg, thaw the edamame and peas, and throw it all in a bowl. The dressing is a simple mix of fresh lemon juice, mandarin orange and agave nectar or honey. In about 20 minutes, this salad is ready to make a colorful (and healthy!) … Read More...

Einkorn Bread with Hemp Chia Flax & Pumpkin Seeds
Confession: this is my husband's creation. Pretty awesome, right? He used the basic recipe for the Classic Einkorn Sandwich Loaf right off the package of the Jovial 100% Organic Einkorn Flour, but then added his own twist. (Einkorn is the most ancient wheat and is much lower in gluten than modern white flour breads.) Hemp and chia seeds are added to … Read More...

Easy 1-Day Post-Holiday(s) Detox Plan
Let me guess. You over-indulged a bit over the past few weeks? I'll also venture a guess that since New Year's happened to fall on a Friday this year that the festivities and celebrations spilled over into the weekend? The internet and social media are swimming with detox plans right now. I've tried some detox plans in the past that were so sparse that … Read More...

I can't believe another year has flown by and it's time for the year-end report on how my experience with Dr. Fuhrman's Eat To Live program has gone. In case you haven't stopped by recently, in October I restarted the ETL program for a full six weeks, determined to lose the 10 pounds I had gained back earlier in the year. You can read all about it in … Read More...
Most Popular Recipe of 2015 – Chocolate-Covered Banana Bites with Pistachios & Raspberry Puree!
Well, here it is. This year's most clicked on, searched and Pinned recipe. This baby had nearly 1 million hits on Pinterest! I find it a bit ironic that this is the most popular recipe of the year considering that Desserts is the least populated page of my blog -- because I really don't eat them. However, you can eat this dessert with … Read More...
