Sage is one of the few surviving herbs in my sadly neglected garden this year. Despite my best intentions, my garden is really more of a "survival of the fittest and hardiest". Seems somewhat akin to characters in Lord of the Flies...
Oh my goodness we adore date squares. Robb likes to conduct "research" by visiting bakeries and testing out date squares (and butter tarts I might add) in efforts to find "the one". It's a tough job, I know, but one he bravely and tenaciously takes...
Nature works in mysterious ways. If we listen, nature will guide us and steer us in the right direction. Earlier this week I had this odd craving for carrot soup. Now we know carrots are chock-a-block full of nutrients, but, interestingly, their high vitamin A...
Quinoa has certainly been the darling of the superfood world the last several years, and, while not to diminish the health benefits of quinoa, it's not the only game in town! There are other seeds, with grain-like qualities that you may wish to consider to...
I'm writing this as I enjoy a nice, warm cup of Holy Basil tea, and I can't help but think that I never would have thought that I'd be sharing a soup recipe in the middle of May! Climate change sure is bringing us tumultuous...
Blessed with this summer heat the past few weeks, I've been reluctant to spend extra time in the kitchen. This is the time of year when I really embrace raw foods. Having said that, I find it hard to digest raw veggies such as cauliflower...
I have just a few short weeks to whip my boys into culinary masters - yikes! They will be off to university and fending for themselves. This heightened awareness of a very fast ticking clock that is called life has had me seeking out healthy...
I love dates. I have been known, when the sweet tooth strikes, to smear dates with peanut butter. (Oh, I just realized, I'm talking about the dates that grow on trees; not, you know, when someone asks you out. Sorry for the confusion.) This past Thursday...
I stumbled upon this great recipe for DIY coconut milk from Elana's Pantry. I often make my own nut milk, but I had yet to venture into making coconut milk. Commercial milk products, while convenient, tend to be laced with unsavory products such as carrageenan, which I'd...
Now, I don't subscribe to any particular dietary niche save the "mostly plants" category. Because I deeply feel that all of us have unique needs, I'm reluctant to state that any one particular diet is best. There may be a diet that is best for...
I've been having fun experimenting with these tasty, mineral-rich, gluten-free kelp noodles the last few months. I've tossed them in miso broth, made creamy seed-based dishes, and now a fun take on sesame noodles. Elana Amsterdam has a great recipe for sesame noodles, which inspired...
One of my sisters-in-law has been following a strict diet to address "leaky gut" syndrome. Wishing to support her efforts, I've been experimenting with gluten-free recipes. Now is the perfect time to experiment with the wonder, cruciferous vegetable - cauliflower. Not only is it nutrient-dense...
