Goat Cheese Pepper Poppers

Goat Cheese Pepper Poppers

Party apps are some of the most fun and creative recipes out there. And you know that if something has goat cheese in it, I’m all about it. Such was the case when the hubster and I went to a friend’s house for dinner and [...]

Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Black Bean Veggie Burgers

I don’t how it’s possible, but I have two friends in my life who just don’t like red meat. It doesn’t sound appetizing to them. And they even know the difference between crappy, processed, chemical-filled, cancer-causing CAFO beef and healthy, happy, CLA-filled, cancer-fighting grass-fed beef. [...]

Winter Chop Salad with Apple, Pear, & Pomegranate

Winter Chop Salad with Apple, Pear, & Pomegranate

Did you know that it is illegal to chew gum in Singapore? True story. Just a bit of trivia for you on this fine day. Did you also know that pomegranates are one of my favorite wintertime fruits? Just in case you weren’t aware, get [...]

Roasted Brussels Sprouts: My New Obsession

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

That Brussels sprouts have been epitomized as that ‘nasty health food my parents forced me to eat before leaving the dinner table’ could possibly be the biggest injustice in the world of food right now. (Well, that is if you don’t count CAFOs and HFCS [...]

Stuffed Eggplant with Quinoa & Burdock

Stuffed Eggplant with Quinoa & Burdock

Roasted Green Beans with Shallots & Almonds

This little beauty I came across on A Little Bit Crunchy, A Little Bit Rock n’ Roll, who originally found the recipe on Kalyn’s Kitchen. There’s just so much blogger love going on here I can barely contain it. Once I saw the recipe I immediately [...]

Eggs & Greens: A Fast, Easy, & Nourishing Breakfast

Eggs & Greens for Breakfast

Are you one of those people who don’t eat breakfast? If you are, I have no idea how you manage to make it more than a couple hours into the day on a regular basis. I knew so many people in college who didn’t let [...]

World’s Best Pumpkin Soup

World’s Best Pumpkin Soup

Pumpkin soup has never been on my radar as a particularly delicious meal to cook and consequently consume with great relish. And if I’m being really transparent, I had never actually cut open a pumpkin with the intention of cooking it before just a few [...]

I-Could-Eat-This-Every-Day Hummus

Basic Hummus

It’s true. I could probably eat hummus every day for the rest of my life and not get tired of it. Granted, 2 and a half years ago I hadn’t even heard the word ‘hummus’ before and was curious about this exotic health food that [...]

When Not Eating is a Good Thing

Fasting Improves Digestion

I love food. That should be pretty obvious to you by now. And who doesn’t love food, really? All those delicious flavors and textures that give life to your body! That’s why it may sound pretty ridiculous to you when I suggest that voluntarily abstaining [...]

Minty Pea Puree is ‘Kiwi As’

Minty Pea Puree

I think you would be hard pressed to come up with a more traditional Kiwi meal. Lamb, kumara, and minted peas are all Kiwi as! (If you’re confused here, I’ll clue you in. ‘Sweet as’ is a very common New Zealand slang expression meaning, in [...]
