I simply cannot go without sharing one of my absolute favorite “handy” healthfoods with you. For the most part, I like to bake my own treats for my family and for myself, but sometimes for convenience reasons we all have to grab something quick and on the go. Of course for many people that leads […]

February 11, 2010 · by · 6 Comments
I have a juicer. It is one of my most favorite kitchen gadgets. I love that when I want fresh, organic juice I can simply make it myself. It had been far too long since the last time I made a juice and my body needs it so this morning I threw one together and […]

Okay, I know you are asking, really? A post about brown rice? Just bear with me because this discovery made my day when it comes to the preparation of brown rice, so I simply had to share it! Let’s face it, everyone loves the fluffiness of white rice, but it has practically zero health benefits […]

One of my favorite things to do is take a recipe that includes meat or isn’t necessarily healthy and make it my own vegetarian version with seasonal vegetables and healthy alternatives to some of the listed ingredients.

October 19, 2009 · by · 1 Comment
One of the many ways I think we can all be green is to eat less meat, or become vegetarian(and if you are really ambitious, vegan). In our house, we are vegetarian(except when out of the house when my husband goes carnivore crazy)! Not only is eating no meat or less meat green, but it […]
