  Giving joy is the best thing ever. But personally, I think there is something even better: giving someone meaningful joy that will last through the whole year and actually change their day. In little, daily ways. I’m not talking profound here. Although profound gifts are awesome-  they can be a lot of pressure. Which is […]

A few years ago, my family started this ridiculous tradition. And by “family”, I mean me. Dueling dishes. The old school vs the new school. Old school: processed food classics like green bean casserole, yams with marshmallows, pies with corn syrup, and stuffing with orowheat soft sandwich bread. Tradition. The definition of Thanksgiving food. Which […]

I’ll admit it, I used to be a canned cranberry sauce-a-holic. That poor turkey on my plate was just a vehicle.  The potatoes, a mini bumper lane for the goey globs of that sweet purple sauce, all over the place. You know, back in my teenage days before I knew about real food. And, no wonder. […]

  Today I have a little story for you. And a myth we need to shatter ASAP. Everyone knows that in order to be healthy, you have to eat healthy. Right? Right. True. Everyone also knows that in order to eat healthy, you have to spend hours every day cooking, prepping, and shopping to do so. Also meaning, spending most of […]

Remember Katie from last week? [catch up here if you haven’t read last week’s blog post yet] I kind of left you on a cliff-hanger there. Because that was her email to me before she did the (Fall) Meal Plan. But, bigger question: so, what about after? How did it actually go for her? Well. I just […]

One of the things that I love to tell people (for shock value alone sometimes), is to eat more butter. You know, the good quality, grass fed stuff. And use it on veggies instead of only reserving it for things that taste like nothing and give you nothing (sorry, pasta). If you use butter on your […]

  Black Bean and Spinach Enchilada Bake This veggie packed lasagna is one of my favorite one- pot meals (read: party food or busy week food) and a great sneaky way to eat more spinach. Other great additions would be to add meat of your choice – grilled or pulled chicken, steak, or pork would all […]

Not at all sexy. But definately real (life) right now. This week has already been a crazy ride and it’s only Tuesday. I have nothing in my fridge, and no time for the store today. And, I’m hungry. So, this is lunch: canned garbanzo beans (rinsed) and drizzled with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sea salt […]

  click to watch this video post! Do I have kids? No. Not yet, at least. But I have worked with a lot. A lot. And their parents to revamp and re-educate around healthy food and what it actually is. And, probably more importantly, what’s for dinner (and breakfast and lunch and snack too). And how […]

Because I think mint is the most under-appreciated fresh herb. And with late summer mojitios or moscow mules happening, chances are, you’ll probably have some left over…or a garden full of it.  And a fridge that already has all of these other ingredients. So. Make this. And yes, this is a Simply Real Health Cookbook […]
