I love Indian food – and, this dish (despite a very misleading name) is exactly why. It is incredibly comforting and delicious. The spices are chock full of antioxidants – which makes Indian cuisine one of the healthiest ones out there. You just need to skip the rice and naan. That is why we are […]
I follow Dr. David Perlmutter and Dr. David Ludwig online. Both are front-line as it relates to the benefits of nutrition – not only for achieving an optimum weight, but optimum health. If you aren’t familiar with either of the two physicians: Dr. Perlmutter in a neurologist and Dr. Ludwig is an endocrinologist. Dr. Ludwig’s […]
I love potato salad – the wonderful flavor of potato with lots of mayo and salty goodness. But, for awhile – I couldn’t eat it – I was either afraid of the carbs – or, the fat! UNFAIR! Here is a vegetable based adaptation using cauliflower instead of potatoes – and, cutting the amount of […]
One of my favorite take-out deli’s is eatZi’s. They used to make these wonderful eggplant raviolis (they called them Eggplant Bruschetta) and they were great. Unfortunately, they stopped making them and I was bummed. However, just a little ingenuity can do a girl good! So, here is my version – and, dare I say it – […]
I love this salad. The tartness of the apple plays well with the spiciness of the shrimp and the coolness of the salad dressing. A great light summer meal! Shrimp and Apple Salad Serves 2 12 ounces shrimp (preferably Gulf shrimp)* 2 ½ tsp. curry powder 1 Tbsp. tapioca starch 2 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil […]
Last time, we discussed how we became ‘sugar burners’ and how insulin impacts your cravings, metabolism, and fat storage. Insulin drives our desire for additional carbohydrates (after a blood sugar crash) and locks fat in our cells. And, it is a never ending downward spiral. So, do you just start eating sticks of butter and […]
Yes – it doesn’t seem the right time for soup – but, this chilled soup is refreshing and does the trick. I know that some people may say that it is not Paleo – and, they would be correct. This is more Primal in nature. But, for those of us who can tolerate dairy – […]
In the 1950’s, the American Heart Association – with the best of intentions – set about to decrease heart disease. The prevailing ‘wisdom’ at the time was from Dr. Ancel Keys – a nutritional epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota – who published ‘The Seven Countries Study’. In the study, Keys concluded that an elevated […]
And, I don’t mean Grandma’s cookbooks!! But, weren’t her brownies, cookies and bread the best? When I speak about ancestors, I am talking a while back (think 10,000 years or even more). I will not go into an ‘evolution vs. creationist’ argument here – because I think that ALL of us will agree that how […]
“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” Anonymous Yes – it sounds overly simplistic – but, once you decide to do something, then to commit to the action to see it through, you will set a cause in action and change yourself in an instant. So, what do you want to […]
