Happy December Everyone! We have almost made it through 2015! For some of us, this may mean just “making it through.” For others, maybe we conquered many obstacles and thrived in ways we never even imagined. Either way, we have grown, and we are exactly where we need to be, right now. I am grateful to have accomplished a lot personally and professionally, as well as taken time to appreciate the little things and really […]
I just know you’re going to love this lentil and squash salad! Comfort food season has begun, but who says hearty food can’t be healthy? My love affair with fall has something to do with the gorgeous weather and slower pace of life. And the transition from summer to chilly weather gives me a reason to buy new sweaters and boots.

For me, that means wild, sustainable fish, veggies, potatoes, all dressed in lemon and olive oil rather than a heavy sauce, and freshened up with herbs. Food that really just […]
This recipe proves that healthy, vegan meals can be indulgent. It has also convinced me that I can, perhaps, live without cheese. Quite a feat for me. If you make the Roasted Mushrooms and Cashew Cheese ahead, this dish comes together in 15 minutes. You can make endless variations of this recipe, if you change the veggies or add different spices to the cheese. Try Macadamia Cheese with roasted tomatoes, sweet corn and tarragon. The […]
Simple. Fast. Healthy. Beyond satisfying. That’s how I describe this omelet/frittata that would make the perfect breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s also dairy-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free so devour it, and feel good about it. Summer food is wonderful and this meal will certainly convince you of it. Green Omelet ¾ c baby kale or arugula ½ tsp minced garlic 2 tsp sunflower oil 2 large pastured eggs ¼ c organic soymilk ½ small avocado, diced […]
