I know it sounds weird. This is not a guacamole dessert. I promise. But just like avocados that get blended into green smoothies, you can’t really taste it. Blended avocado often just makes recipes a bit more creamy + decadent. Healthy too. And satisfying because of it’s great healthy fat content. But without any guilt, […]

This is my version of party food. Dinner party food. Even if a dinner party is just you and New Girl. Or because it’s Tuesday. Or that you just want to be a little fancy. Or, because you just bought the The Simply Real Health Cookbook and can’t wait to try some of the dinner recipes. […]

Some of you may have seen my post earlier this week about my jicama purchase. I l-o-v-e it. The cold, crunchy, sweetness is so good to me this time of year.What is it? It’s a veggie like celery but without the bitter bite at the end. Like watermelon but without the intense sweetness. It’s most […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. Because I know how it can go. This […]

I ate sweet potatoes and yams as a kid. And liked them. Really. Liked them. As long as it was 1) on Thanksgiving and 2) as long as they were covered in massive amounts of puffy marshmallows. Which means I ate only marshmallows for Thanksgiving dinner. After trying– desperately– to wipe off with the stubborn […]

So, usually my rule is that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. (Wahh. Wahhh.) I’m not a pessimist in life. Promise. Just when it comes to magical food claims.
