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 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 […]

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 – […]

Hi everyone – the Fourth of July is almost here!  Are you ready to enjoy family, friends, warm weather, and fireworks? Let’s fire up the grills and pull out the old recipes (how about Great Aunt Tina’s famous potato salad – or –  the family baked bean recipe?). Yes, those things will be around – […]

Spring brings the promise of shedding the old heavy winter foods and providing us with wonderful new flavors to enjoy. But, then again – each new season brings its own delicacies in which to look forward to. We all know that real food is incredibly important for our health – but, did you know that […]

It is time for a sensible and easy snack.  I love these crackers – they are simple and quick to make, taste great and are incredibly healthy.  Hemp seed is a real nutritional powerhouse.  They are high in nutritional value and contain 20 different  amino acids and all nine of the essential amino acids (like flax). And, don’t […]

I missed the wonderful crunch of a crispy fried piece of chicken. It seemed that I was destined to brining boneless, skinless, chicken breasts (and, it is a great way to add moisture and flavor); or breading with coconut and nut flours (again, good).  But, what if you wanted a piece of chicken with a […]

I trust that everyone is getting back into the swing of things after a very hectic (but, I hope joyous Holiday Season). In an effort to be totally transparent, I often dread this time of year. The twinkle of the lights vanishes; trees and decorations have to be taken down and things are kind of, […]
