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 […]

The sun is shining. It’s just about that time. Time for a new green smoothie recipe, of course. Oh, you thought you can keep making the same one over and over? Well, you can. But I don’t reccommend it. Why? Well, wouldn’t you like to know? I guess you’ll have to watch the video and […]

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 […]

It is rare when chicken breasts make it into my shopping cart. Like almost a special occasion. Because I know what happens when they do. They sit and stare at me from the lowest tray in the fridge. Nude and slimy, in all their glory. Unappetizing. I like color, texture, VIBRANCY, and visual appeal in […]

Spinach-Artichoke Dip usually reads something like this: Mayonnaise. Cream cheese. Cheese. Sour Cream. tiny amount of spinach. tiny amount of artichoke. Not that I don’t love cheese. I do. As a flavor enhancer. Not as a gut bomb. Call me a minimalist, but by using greek yogurt (full fat, of course because fat is naturally […]

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 […]

To eat meat, or to not? 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 […]

Let’s get right down to it today. Why this recipe is Sarah-approved & so very awesome? Let me count the ways: Seasonal– romaine lettuce & tomatoes are at peak season right now. That means great taste and cheaper prices too! Inexpensive- using good quality chicken as a topping instead of the main part of the […]

Sometimes inspiration for healthy dishes happen to me when I least expect it. Like in the middle of vacation. In Maui. In the middle of cocktails, in the middle of laying on the beach, in the middle of a great book. You never know. We had stopped at this roadside juice bar for a bite […]
