Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
As I mentioned in the Maple Baked Brie post, my original intention for the maple contest was to make maple pudding; but it didn’t end up being all that great. What did end up being great were the popsicles that the pudding turned into! I think the cool weather is here to stay in New England, but…
When I was invited to participate in the “Think Outside the Griddle” recipe contest, my initial intent was to enter a recipe for maple pudding. Said maple pudding was made, tasted, and quickly set aside as too boring. Then the idea for maple baked brie came to me, and fortunately it was anything but boring! Start with…
No added sugar. No flour. No eggs. No chickpeas (yes, that’s actually a common ingredient in healthy cookie dough recipes). No butter or oil. So what IS in this edible cookie dough? Healthy ingredients that combine to create a delectable concoction that tastes like cookie dough. Who wouldn’t want to go to town on a jar…
What you don’t need to know (but I’m going to tell you anyway): these truffles were a pain in the you-know-what to photograph, hence the measly two images in this post.

For a while (probably close to a year), every Friday was “Homemade Pizza Night” at our house. We’d always have a ball of Whole Foods pizza dough stashed in the freezer waiting to be turned into whatever creation we dreamed up. It was a night that John, Lily, and I looked forward to all week……

When combined in a delicious salad, they create a medley of flavors and textures that make for a vibrant and satisfying meal. This Blueberry & Toasted Coconut Kale Salad recipe is not only a feast for the taste buds but also a…
Most of you probably don’t know this, but John and I lived in Texas from 2007-2008. During my final year of graduate school at Boston College, John was offered a relocating promotion… so after graduation, I packed up and joined him in Houston. Along with moderate winter temperatures, affordable real estate prices, drawling southern accents,…
If like me, you get overly excited about the array of tempting offerings at the Whole Foods salad bar, then this gorgeous salad has your name written all over it. No hum-drum rice salad, this dish is rife with fresh flavors and pleasing textures. Crisp pieces of apple and pear combine nicely with chewy dried cranberries and…
This is the fruit crisp of my dreams. Bursting with fresh & sweet in-season fruit, topped with a generous layer of crumbly whole wheat oatmeal crisp, and no butter or refined sugar in sight. It does not get any better than this! Let’s start with the fruit filling. I think I choose a different favorite…
