It can get boring having the same flavors and seasonings over and over again each night of the week. For us, it tends to be some sort of Italian concoction of flavors; however, as much as we love it, having a cuisine of a different region can be quite refreshing. If you’re not accustomed to […]
I am absolutely loving this beautiful weather, and with the warm spring temperatures comes the two G’s: Grilling and Greens. Our garden is booming with leafy greens such as spinach, arugula, and leaf lettuces, not to mention the greens we also got from our CSA! What to do but make a new recipe that will […]
By now it is no secret that I love my vegetables! (and not just because my mother said I should). Sadly, an often forgotten gem of vegetable is the Brussels Sprout. I really believe, however, that the key to great Brussels Sprouts is preparing and cooking them correctly! It really comes down to texture for most people…no one wants […]
I have decided to take on another new venture in the world of beauty products: Homemade Hand/Body Lotion. One of my good friends has recently started making homemade soap and lotion bars and I have been the gracious recipient of samples which I am in love with! Seeing her and others make these homemade beauty products shows […]

I believe that even when my schedule is packed and the work seems endless, I still have to take time for myself and take […]
It can be challenging to find authentic cultural cuisine at restaurants-especially when you are also trying to eat healthy. Typically you just end up with some Americanized version of Mediterranean, Asian, Latin, etc. We, however, enjoy trying new and authentic dishes not normally found on restaurant menus, but it can be challenging to find restaurants that hail true to […]
I find it is more difficult to find the inspiration to whip up fresh and new dishes in the winter compared to summer. Is anyone else with me on that one? Maybe it’s the limited availability of fresh, seasonal ingredients. Or perhaps because I’d rather hibernate, sip hot tea, and gaze at the fluttering snow […]
Friday night pizza night, what can I say, it’s a staple in our house. My husband gets a little cranky if we even miss one week! But of course, living healthy and gluten-free means no Papa John’s or Pizza Hut visiting our door. Even though many of the big chain pizza places offer gluten-free alternatives, […]
When I have to reign myself in from over-eating on vegetables, I know it’s a good recipe. I’ve made this medley for a few different functions and every time it’s a hit…even among those who do not run to the vegetable platter. I typically double the recipe and use a large roasting pan so I […]
Another year has come and gone, and we now welcome 2014. With each new year comes a renewed sense of spirit and drive to improve upon the people we were the previous year. Often times those resolutions for greatness in some way include goals related to health and wellness. Everyone, at some level, has the […]
