Lemon peels help detoxify your body and boost your immune system! These cookies are what I call a “pantry dessert”. That means that I can whip it up without having to go to the store for anything. These paleo lemon cookies are made with a bunch of ingredients found in many healthy pantries and with […]
Green peas are good to keep you digestive system working properly… so, if hormones or menopause has been making you feel a little “sluggish”, this is a great dish for you! I remember many years ago when all of these awesome soup spots opened up in Manhattan, and I thought it was the greatest idea ever! […]
The first time I made this pineapple protein smoothie bowl it was a bright summer day. Ah, I remember it well — shining sun, warm breeze, still daylight when it was time for dinner… Today, it’s much different. It’s cold and dreary. And raining. And it’s dark at 4:30. And everyone around me has a […]
Eggplant reduces pain and inflammation… I know that my over 40 body (okay… waaaayyyy over 40) needs that… don’t you? Eggplant parmesan is one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. I have tried, and failed, to make a delicious, healthy, paleo, vegan, grain-free version for so long that I can’t even remember when this obsession […]

This recipe will actually make you feel cooler and calmer… It’s holiday season, but in my book that doesn’t mean everything we eat has to be heavy and traditional.

Eating a little bit of beef can help ease that holiday bloated feeling you may be suffering with… I love meatballs. When Meatball Mondays became an actual thing that people were doing, I thought here is something I can get on board with — no questions asked. Meatballs are so adjective-worthy: Delish. Fun. Simple. Comforting. […]
Brussels Sprouts have been shown to protect against Alzheimers and they are great for weight loss… what an awesome veg! For years, everyone in my house would sit at the table making horrible, distorted faces whenever I tried to serve a dish with vegan cheese. But, wow have the times changed! The vegan cheese options […]
This raw corn and vegetable salad is a great way to incorporate more raw foods into your diet… Here it is the day before Thanksgiving. Eating light and healthy just seems like the right thing to do. Even more so than usual. It’s like going into survival mode. If I want to eat all that […]
These grain-free peanut butter cookies will make you smile. In our house, dessert is a must. And this is because Steve thinks he has to have some kind of dessert after every dinner. I don’t really go this route. I mean, if I’m full from dinner, I don’t need dessert. But, I get that a […]
