Grilled Zucchini

Posted in the cooked veggies category on August 5, 2010

This recipe for Grilled Zucchini is one of my favorites for several reasons.  First, it’s a good way to use up the prolific zucchini of August.  Second, it’s mighty easy to make.  And third, it’s delicious.  Let’s not forget reason number four though –zucchini and summer squash are a healthy side dish for any meal.

Broccoli Rabe with Garlic

Posted in the cooked veggies category on July 19, 2010

I confess, I have an addiction to broccoli rabe.  I love the bitter flavor of this delicious green vegetable.  I have always believed that bitter is such an important, yet under rated flavor in our culture. I think a lot of people drink coffee for the bitter flavor that we all need so badly.  My

After last weeks Almond Joy Chocolate Bark post, I received this message on my Facebook Page from Suzanne Hodgman Hodsden: That’s really nice, but what about some healthy recipes for us health nuts! Quite a lot of interesting comments followed hers and a good debate was had by all –except me, I just post the

DIY Coconut Milk

Posted in the beverages category on April 13, 2010

I hadn’t thought of making coconut milk from shredded coconut until I read Sarma Melngailis’ book Living Raw Food.  I cannot recommend this book highly enough.  Sarma has great recipes and tons of fabulous information for everyone –you don’t have to be raw to enjoy this book. I also want to recommend Sarma’s products from

Lemon Kale Chips

Posted in the cooked veggies category on April 9, 2010

We are loving these Lemon Kale Chips.  I can’t make enough of them –the boys scarf them down hot out of the oven.  Yesterday, they ate 3 batches, yes you heard that right, 3 batches of kale chips, after school.  Of course, like everything else I make, these are gluten free. You can use curly

Lemon Poppy Seed Bunny Cookies

Posted in the desserts category on April 2, 2010

The idea for these delicious gluten free Lemon Poppy Seed Bunny Cookies for Easter came from Gluten Free Foodie Heaven and her Lemon Poppy Seed Bunnies recipe.  Even though we don’t celebrate Easter, I thought they were very cute and springlike and had to make some of my own with the usual favorite ingredients that

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.  I found mine were just a tad crumbly, you may need to

Ginger Cilantro Green Shake

Posted in the beverages category on March 16, 2010

The idea for this green smoothie comes from the amazing Sarma of oneluckyduck.com.  I recently purchased her book Living Raw Food and am loving it.  While some of the recipes can be complex, she has many that can be made in minutes.  This Ginger Cilantro Shake is a hybrid of her Cilantro-Pineapple Shake and her

Beet Hummus

Posted in the condiments category on March 5, 2010

This beet hummus recipe comes from Elise over at simplyrecipes.com.  She is one of my favorite bloggers and I was lucky enough to hear her speak at the last Blogher Food conference.  I myself, would not have ever thought of combining beets into a hummus type dip, so, leave it to Elise.  She is the
