I’ll be honest. This salad originally consisted of me opening the refrigerator, pulling out any and all vegetables & protein I could find at the moment and tossing them together in a bowl. But (being honest again, because should we be any other way, really?) this salad is also chock full of amazing nutrients that [...]
I have been on SUCH a coleslaw kick over the past few weeks. Which, I guess, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Cabbage is incredibly nutrient dense and aids in digestion. Red cabbage in particular can help get rid of dandruff. Carrots are great for improved eyesight and glowing skin. And let’s face it-coleslaw is CHEAP! [...]
I feel compelled to tell you a story. A story that has absolutely nothing to do with Almond Pasta Salad. A story set on an island somewhere in the Pacific. More specifically, a coffee shop in the sunny South Island city of Nelson, New Zealand. Once upon a time, I spent 5 days in a [...]
I’ll be honest. I almost didn’t blog this recipe. Even though it was go-back-for-seconds-and-thirds delicious and ridiculously easy to throw together. The reason? I was naughty. I used a store-bought flavored soy sauce with sugar and preservatives. But before you relegate me to the dog house of real food blogs, allow me to explain. Because [...]
Ah, summer. Carefree evening cookouts around the pool while the sunlight lingers on, giving way eventually to the light of the fireflies as my friends and I nurse cold fruity drinks and make plans for a holiday by the sea. Summer means fresh food and bright colors. Tropical fruit and crisp, cold salads. Unfortunately, I’m [...]
We all have those recipes. The ones that may not be fancy or incredibly unique, but they are tried and true, tested and found delicious, so you make them again and again. And no one seems to mind when it’s such a great recipe! That’s what a good ole standard potato salad is to me. [...]
I love love love quinoa. A gluten-free seed (not grain like most people think) that offers up hefty doses of manganese, magnesium, and protein. What’s not to love? It’s honestly not too tasty when eaten on its own, but throw in some veggies, fruits, nuts, oils, etc. and you have a masterpiece! There are oodles [...]
As much as I love muffins (and boy do I love muffins), I find that a breakfast without some greens just isn’t complete. Green veggies (whether it’s spinach blended into my smoothie or my Sunny Side Up Salad below) give me a boost of energy for the day, alkalize my body, boost my nutrient intake, [...]
Summer is so good to me. I love the sun. I love the fruit that is in season. And I love having a big bowl of chicken salad in the refrigerator when I come home for lunch. This a very summer-y chicken salad. I don’t exactly have a recipe for this one because I just [...]
Apparently I have yet to outgrow Highlights magazine. I know what you’re thinking….. “Yeah, I used to read that too!! “Then I turned 5.” The magazine showed up in the mail at my office one day (why? still not sure….) I let nostalgia take over as I thumbed through it, harking back to my second [...]
