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...
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...
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...
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...
Remember those sesame crisps we enjoyed as kids? I loved those teeth-breaking treats! I recently had a craving for sesame seeds, and I'm convinced it's nature's way of telling me I need more calcium in my diet. I'm a bit wary of calcium supplements. There is...
I've been loving granola lately. I think perhaps it's nature's way of steering me away from smoothies on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong; smoothies are still a staple of my diet, but I also think it's a good idea to switch things up...
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...
We love soup. We especially love soup on cold winter days. Being the fortunate recipients of organic produce that is delivered to our door, we have abundant opportunities to experiment in the kitchen. We have both always enjoyed creamy, rich potato leek soup. Many of the...
We love energy bars at our house. We love them so much we'll often make up a batch with whatever we have on hand. This can be problematic, especially if Robb is behind the wheel operating the food processor. Like a tortured artist, he throws...
