Easy, delicious, fresh. That’s what this salad is. I find myself using kale most of the time as the base of my salads. Mostly because the pieces are large, and the volume adds up quickly without too much prep. I also find it easy to rinse and dry… so out of convenience I use kale, but also because I love

I love breakfast. Breakfast has always been my favorite meal, but always one of the more difficult meals for me, having so many food allergies.

If you’re egg-free

Yummy, easy veggies are totally up my alley. I’ve been on a lectin-free kick (lectins are basically the protective covering on some fruits and vegetables as well as nuts and seeds, that can contribute to inflammation in the body- more coming on this soon!), and I feel so much better. So, in search of exciting and new lectin-free veggies, I

Hey Dad, we love you!

Shaking up your usual routine… …is one of the most important things you can do to stay enthused and love what you’re eating. Don’t get me wrong, I love to eat the same thing most days of the week- but we do know that when we eat the same thing all the time, our brains release less dopamine, which can

I LOVE easy, fresh, and delicious salads. In fact, I eat one most days of the week- because they energize the middle of my day (the time of day that’s likely to be the least energized) and they really help to fill me up and make me feel great. So I want to share one of my favorite, easy salads

I love anything chocolate mint and fruity! This tasty smoothie is loaded with potent antioxidants found in the cacao nibs, heart-healthy electrolyte potassium from the banana, bone-healthy calcium from the almond milk (but only if it’s calcium-fortified) and contains digestive properties from the mint leaves. Altogether this smoothie tastes like a healthy mint chip milkshake, so it makes for a

I LOVE Chocolate Chip Cookies… but most store bought cookies are filled with not-so-good for you ingredients like trans-fats, processed sugars and artificial flavoring. A little indulgence here and there doesn’t hurt, but my health-ified version of Chocolate Chip Cookies will really satisfy your sweet tooth, and leave you feeling good after. And even better, this recipe is gluten-free, vegan, AND

As with most recipes, I love to keep them simple

I believe that we can healthfully include dessert EVERY DAY, but it’s all about what you pick (like anything else). Desserts often end up being devoid of healthy nutrients, but if we take the time to include some fiber, less sugar, and more healthy fat- suddenly we have something that tastes good and is also beneficial for the body too!
