There’s actually nothing better when two great things become one. Both things just seem to get better, right? Recipes, people. For ease and less ingredient waste, in my head, it’s also the only way to go. So after a great month of little mini housewarming dins and nights with friends and family popping by the […]

  Eating healthy in a lifestyle kind of way is one thing. A “healthy lifestyle way of living” = learning to navigate your real life, including the things you love to eat and drink while balancing it with those things that make you feel good, give you good energy, productivity and focus throughout the day. […]

I know I’m doing it again. But I have to show you what I mean, because I feel guilty keeping these all to myself. So today you’re getting lucky. Because today I’m slipping you one of the secret Fall Meal Plan recipes AND a Cookbook recipe, all in one day! Just to give you a little […]

I call it a tweener. The [not awkward] time between summer and fall. If only my own growing up years had been as easy. And seamless. And nice to look at. Where one thing easily flows to the next. Like when peaches and tomatoes are ripe and sweet and falling off of the vines, the […]

Real food, made simply so you can love and enjoy better health. Simply, Real, Health. That’s the name of the game. My favorite game. This is one of those weeks where I started laughing to myself about my “recipe” of the week. That word seems to be a bit flattering. So much so that I […]

It’s just a matter of finding a way to use all of your gorgeous + beautifully fresh veggies– without a lot of effort. Ain’t that always […]

  I’ve had my eye on olive-oil cakes for a while. Fast definition: an Italian style side dish, usually made in a savory style without much sugar. You know. Interesting + different sounding. And therefore eye catching to me. Or maybe it’s just the word “cake” made with something healthier like olive oil (more likely […]

Fact: I’ve  had more than 5 people comment to me this week that I give so many of my healthy recipes and advice away for free, that they almost feel bad. (Almost). And don’t I run a business? Yes. Totally. I must be assuming too much. Assuming that you guys know that every post or […]

Just going to throw it out there. This might be it. Remember last year’s Pesto Kale Salad? The game-changer, life-changer, only-thing-you-made-all-summer-long-because-it-was-so-good-so-easy-so-good-for-you-and-a-total-crowd-pleaser? Version 2.0 is here. And good thing, because so is summer [almost]. Ingredients: Makes 16 avocado halves. You can easily halve this recipe as well, and use the crab salad on top of salad […]
