I've been known to enjoy chocolate. Enjoy it so much I experiment with homemade and often raw options. Most raw chocolate recipes rely heavily on coconut oil which is good and good for you; however, it can quickly melt and be messy to eat. Not...
When it comes to my water, I can't help myself. I absolutely have to doctor it up some how. It's a bit of a creative outlet and a fun challenge to figure out new ways to enhance my water. Ultimately, it ensures that I meet...
Do you ever have those days when your body is just craving greens? The last few days, Robb and I have had an unusually strong pull to get our greens (over and above our almost daily green smoothie). Maybe it's because it's spring, and our...
Sweet potatoes are perhaps the perfect food. It's rare to find a vegetable that virtually ALL the various food affiliations endorse: Paleo, Vegan, Raw, even "carb" eschewing Atkins! Personally, I love them because they are just so darn tasty. I will often roast up 5...
This was a tough week for many, as when we "sprang forward" with Daylight Savings Time, I believe our bodies simultaneously transitioned to spring mode...
A friend of mine was raving about how delicious wraps made from plantain are, so I just had to give them a try. The recipe she used was a little more complicated than I was prepared for, so, thanks to Dr. Google, I was able...
Remember old-school stuffed mushroom caps? You know, the ones loaded with breadcrumbs and cheese? Feeling a bit nostalgic as 2016 was winding down, I thought I'd make some mushroom caps stuffed with something a tad more nourishing than the beleaguered bread crumb. Enter quinoa. A key...
Robb's sister, Heather, recently gifted us with some black bean pasta. It's a terrific gluten-free, high-protein option for pasta lovers. The box that it came in had a yummy sounding recipe, which we used as inspiration for this week's recipe. Of course, I couldn't leave...
The inspiration for this recipe is courtesy of Rodale's Organic Life. Because I can never leave well enough alone, I made some alterations and additions to the recipe, and I hope you like the results. It's a lovely mix of textures and tastes and is immensely...
I have Heather to thank for this week's recipe. At last Friday's "Fun Friday Flow" (where were you, by the way?), I overheard her talking about these delicious corn tortillas that she gets from our local Country Produce. I might mention that this happened right...
Certain things give me ridiculous joy. One such thing is knowing what we're going to have for dinner AND having it ready when I arrive home. Walking through the doorway to a welcoming, fragrant aroma is divine. I also have to admit, that not being...
This time it started with broccoli. We received some incredible organic broccoli in our most recent delivery. I wanted to build a recipe around this green goodness. Recalling a funny comment from my friend Joanna about her family wanting old-school veggies with cheese sauce, and knowing my...
