Eating Clean is More Fun with a Friend
I love the idea of healing from within — with nutrition. So it’s always fun to visit one particular friend who is doing just that and making great strides with her health. Since purchasing a Vita Mix several months ago, she’s been whipping up all kinds of veg-fruit concoctions. Upon my arrival on Friday afternoon,…
Green Lemonade – a raw detox beverage
Green Lemonade on Thanksgiving It’s all over the internet. There are how-to videos on YouTube. And my sister-in-law prepared a fresh batch for us yesterday. Absolutely delicious. And it’s transformed the health and wellness of a good friend of hers. The combination of lemon with apple (I’m told Fuji apples are the best because of…

Divine Buffalo Burgers
Measurements are approximate. I rarely measure anything when cooking (baking requires more precision) and I had no idea these were going to be delicious enough to publish the recipe! The meat I used comes from grass-fed, free-range New Hampshire buffalo. Buffalo is considered a lean alternative to beef and a heart-healthy choice. INGREDIENTS 1-1.5 lb…

This recipe is absolutely delicious but alas, it is not terribly photogenic, so although I’ve been running wild with my digital camera, I’ll leave the visuals to the imagination. … The canned tomatoes and coconut milk may conflict with your “eating clean” specifications, but using them is a rule I choose to bend, in the…

Any one of these cliches might apply to how I came to be the editor and writer for this new webazine: Eating gluten-free is most commonly known to bring relief for people with Celiac disease and gluten intolerance. However, the benefits of the gluten-free…
Winter Weekend Waffles
Sleet pinging against my bedroom windows woke me at 5:45 today. Another late-winter storm is here. I’ve been wanting to share my latest favorite waffle variation and this weather — the kind that makes me want to bake and stay cozy indoors — is the perfect opportunity. Before mixing the batter, I fill a creamer…
Dream Changes – A Kaleidoscope of Possibilities
Letting go of your first business vision, one that feels precious and close to the heart, can be daunting. My original inspiration to open a specialty foods retail store, offering legal sweet treats to calorie- and carb-counting dieters, came at a time when the weight-loss marketplace was ripe with dieters looking for sugar-free and low-carb…
Banana Bread – gluten-free, sugar-free
Banana bread is that kind of comfort food I associate with friends visiting for endless cups of tea, the days before dieting haunted me daily, and winter’s weather that I seem to free-associate with baking. 2 ripe bananas 2 eggs 1/2 cup grapeseed oil or applesauce 1/4 cup + 1 Tbs. buttermilk or kefir or…
