If you’ve never wanted to even taste sauerkraut, you might want to reconsider. Real, fermented sauerkraut (as opposed to the average vinegar-based store-bought kind) is quite different. There’s no vinegar is this–just a nice salt brine. The natural fermentation creates a probiotic-rich food that is as tasty as it is…
You don’t need a slow cooker to slow cook beans. Basically a large pot will do, although you wouldn’t want to leave it on all day if you’re going to be away. Once you’ve tasted beans cooked the slow way, you may never buy canned beans again! These instructions are…
Sea scallops are the large (and more commonly found) type. Bay scallops are very small. You can use either one, but we typically go with the larger ones. Make sure that they’re very fresh and cook them on the same day if possible. You don’t need to do much to…
I adapted this from a recipe in Raw Food Made Easy. This is absolutely fabulous, gluten-free, and all-raw, meaning nothing is cooked. Everyone, even the most skeptical of healthy foods, will love it!

This soup will knock out a cold in no time! But beware–your breath might knock out your partner, too. 🙂 Actually, the soup tastes great, and it’s my go-to food when I’m dragging around from a cold or flu. Speaking of the flu, doesn’t it seem that EVERY year is called…
It’s so easy to roast vegetables with just a little oil, salt, and pepper, which is what I normally do. But, every once in a while I decide to dress them up a bit with some Dijon and pine nuts! How do you dress up your roasted veggies? Print Recipe…
Arugula is a spicy little green that can be easily grown at home or purchased year round. If possible, use baby arugula, which is typically more tender and mild. If you can find watercress, it’s a wonderful substitution, and is actually my preferred green of choice. However, it’s only available…
For each of my seasonal detoxes, I offer clients recipes that are not only supportive of detoxification, but also feature seasonal foods. One standard in all of my detoxes, however, is a large chopped salad filled with detox-friendly veggies. You can add seasonal or other favorite items as desired, but…
I’ve made many variations of my healthy chocolates over the years. Here’s my latest iteration, using a basic foundation, then “dipping” them in an assortment of toppings: hemp seeds, coconut, dried cranberries, dried goji berries, freeze-dried pomegranate perils (seeds), cashews (since I used cashew butter this time). I brushed some…
This is my go-to chicken recipe. You can use any fresh herb or combination, or skip the herbs and garlic altogether for a simple salt and pepper chicken. Either way, the instructions will teach you how to make a moist-on-the-inside and crisp-on-the-outside chicken! The number of people served is approximately what we get out of it.
