In this little transitional time between leaving winter and starting the spring, it can be hard to know what to be eating if you’re being a good little weather + seasonally dependent eater [which you are; if you’re reading this post. Maybe you didn’t even realize it, but you are if you follow the weekly […]

Quinoa’s going mainstream. It’s by no means “new”– it’s one of the most ancient foods out there– but maybe that’s why it’s more suddenly cool. Like vintage clothes and trinkets. Whatever it is, I’m not complaining. Maybe that should be my new marketing tactic. It’s so “vintage” to eat real food. From dreadlock crowded juice […]

Preheat oven to 375 2. Slice yams or sweet potatoes into thin […]

I’ve been holding out on this recipe for a little while. Mostly, not to be hypocritical. You see, “rolled oats” are one of the ingredients. And. Brace yourself people. “Rolled oats” are not technically a true whole food. They are just a tiny (and not the healthy) part of the true whole grain known as […]

With so many factors that determine people’s preferences with meat (sustainability, religious, cultural reasons and animal rights, just to name a few), getting meaty is a hot topic. Let me just preface this post by saying that I think that everyone has the right to choose the right fit […]

So. While I’d like to think that you (my amazing readers), took a more relaxed and balanced approach to the holiday season this year, (meaning that you don’t feel the need to INTENSELY DETOX immediately come these first few weeks of January), I’m gonna keep it real.
