I recently had what I thought was a brilliant idea - stuff dates with brain-healthy walnuts. Easy, tasty, and nutritious - bam! Then I thought what would really knock them out of the park would be to dip them in chocolate. To keep them healthy,...
One night last week we both had a hankering for something sweet. Trouble was we had nothing in the house - oh no! No fear, Robb donned his magic apron and got right to work - is there nothing this man can't do? Within minutes, Robb...
The inspiration for these incredibly yummy roasted sweet potatoes came from an Instagram feed I follow called project sunny. It was such a great idea to load up roasted sweet potatoes with a variety of tasty and nutritious toppings - brilliant! So, with full credit to project...
We're big pesto fans at our house. Traditional pesto recipes, while tasty, can be expensive to prepare due to pine nuts (which I always, always burn) and basil when it is out of season. Enter broccoli and spinach. Both lend themselves well as substitutes and...
Oh how I loved those sesame crisp candies when I was growing up. Not only did you risk breaking your teeth, but once softened, they stuck to your teeth and yanked out fillings...
Wishing for a departure from my traditional smoothie for breakfast, I've been experimenting with chia pudding. Chia is a remarkable seed, jam-packed with nutrients, and it is incredibly versatile. Due to its neutral taste and ability to "gel", it's often used as a thickening or...
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...
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...
Kale has been the darling of the "leafy green vegetable" world, and for good reason. It's hearty, nutrient-dense and can tolerate harsh growing conditions. Having said that, kale is not the only green in town. Swiss Chard is also a hearty green absolutely loaded with...
I thank Dianne for the inspiration for these quinoa burgers. She casually mentioned planning to make some, so I thought I would follow suit. These were pretty tasty, and my discerning taste-testing team gave them a hearty "2-thumbs up". The recipe is a tad "scavenger"...
So do you ever feel we're trading one problem for another? We get so fearful of germs that we willingly lather our bodies with harmful chemicals that, in the longterm, may be more detrimental...
Like most recipes I create or alter, it's a combination of what I have on hand and what I have a hankering for. My son Ben has madly been creating in the kitchen lately, and we had half a can of full fat coconut milk...
