Perfect Kale Crisps

By this point in time, I have more recipes for kale crisps then I care to admit. There really is no one right formula to make them, but there are a few tricks in getting them to cook properly. Here are a few suggestions . . .

Cheers to juice

Some people are afraid of juice because of reports claiming the sugar content in fruit juice is equivalent to soda. Unquestionably, juice — especially fruit juice — contains natural sugars, especially fructose. And yet…

Parsnip Fries

I wish I had a brownie for every time I’ve been informed that eating naturally is simply too hard. While making fancy shmancy meals can be a fun project, uber delicious healthy food doesn’t have to be complicated…

No Bake Brownies

Undercover health benefits like antioxidants, good omega fats, potassium, magnesium (and more) nutritionally rank this dessert as more of an energy bar than an “extra 20 minutes on the treadmill indulgence.” Best of all, five ingredients plus five minutes is all it takes to go from zero to brownie.

Veggie BBQ like you mean it

Barbecues are always a hot thing to do, but with the increasing amounts of celebration surrounding a vegetarian diet, the grill game’s a-changin’.

Red Raspberry Pops

One of my favorite experiments thus far turns out to be one of the easiest: Red Raspberry Popsicles – enhanced by date syrup that’s added just before freezing so it stays in tight little flavor pockets throughout the popsicle. Heaven brought to you by your freezer, and an ideal summertime treat. Here’s how to make them.

Green Mango Smoothie

There’s something about this blend, with its thick frosty creamy mangos and sweetly inviting flavor that makes it more than “just a smoothie.” I make it a little extra thick, throw it into a bowl, and eat it with a spoon as a quasi-sherbet-like dessert.

Questions of breakfast

Carpe diem always starts with a solid breakfast, and one of my recipes for success is Lemon Coconut Breakfast Bars. They’re so easy to make and full of good choices.

Buckwheat Graham Crackers

Just think: kinda like a cookie, kinda like a biscuit, it’s always a good time for a graham cracker – am I wrong? This is definitely graham cracker recipe 2.0 (and also free of gluten and dairy)!

Simple & Grounding Miso Soup

Whether you’re in the middle of a full-on flu battle or simply just a little run down, I’m telling you, miso soup just FEELS good. It feels RIGHT. Get your bowl ready.
