Green Chili Turkey Burgers
Posted in the entrees category on August 30, 2010
These Green Chili Turkey Burgers are based on a fabulous recipe from Mark Sisson’s Primal Blueprint Cookbook. His recipe is actually called Fried Eggs Over Green Chili Burgers, and is yet another high-protein entree from the king of primal that my entire family enjoyed.

Green Chicken Soup
Posted in the soups category on April 6, 2010
I can tell this Green Chicken Soup is going to become one of my go to dishes in no time at all. I love this soup because it is an easy way to take in powerfully nutritious greens. While I love my green juices in theory, in reality, my stomach doesn’t always agree with them, especially

Who doesn’t enjoy a good power bar? One that is easy to travel with and renders a healthy snack on the go? These gluten free Espresso Power Bars have a delicious espresso-chocolate-vanilla-ish flavor that makes them equally satisfying as a snack or dessert.

Nut Butter Cups
Posted in the desserts category on February 2, 2010
When I posted the recipe for Vanilla Almond Butter I had planned on sharing my Nut Butter Cup recipe with you shortly thereafter.

Leftover Chicken Recipe Roundup
Posted in the recipes category on December 31, 2009
The other day, one of my favorite commenters suggested that I post a roundup of leftover chicken recipes; actually at this point I would probably call ~M (that’s the handle she uses when commenting on my site) a “contributor.” I quickly took to ~M’s idea since this time of year so many of us are

Thai Chicken Wraps

These light and healthy Thai Chicken Wraps are an easy and refreshing entrée and a simple “one pot meal” to boot. I often make them with leftover chicken, though I sometimes use leftover fish –any type of protein will do. The other night I served this to my children with salmon and my little one

Salmon Kabayaki
Posted in the entrees category on November 11, 2009
There was a shortage of Fish Kabayaki the other night when I made this amazing dish from Jaden’s Steamy Kitchen Cookbook. I used salmon to make this sweet and tangy fish dish and it was phenomenal. The boys were unhappy that I did not make more, so tonight I’m making it again and doubling the
