Updated May 21, 2019 I am guessing you still have zucchini to use up because we can’t seem to make a dent in ours and we don’t even have a garden!

I hope you’ve tried them-they are both winners....

Today, I am sharing 10 Soup Recipes that are perfect for fall....

Oh hi, just making dinner FUN again! My husband let out a very serious and rather lengthy “yummm” after laying mouth on these tacos. The man knows good when he tastes it! Why don’t I make shrimp more at home, that is the question. Like my chickpea tacos and tofu tacos, this recipe is jam-packed with robust flavors and textures. You know I don’t go light on seasoning. Now let’s taco ‘bout the details!...

No longer do we live in a world where toast equates to nutritiously void white bread with a thin smear of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.” Oh, heavens no. The time has come to take your toast up a notch or three. We’re talking sprouted artisan [gluten-free] breads chock full of super seeds underneath layers and layers of sumptuous spreads. All organic, local, vegan, non-GMO, and full of kale....

I’ve been craving a mega refreshing fruit smoothie recipe like nobody’s business!

Yep, I co-own a smoothie and health food café called Alchemy, so I consider myself a smoothie pro. Like my Strawberry and Beet Smoothie, this beautiful blend is a gift for your face....

Updated March 26, 2019 I love all kinds of apples, but Josh only likes Granny Smith. I try to encourage him to eat an apple a day, but sometimes he forgets and eats donuts instead:) I always try to keep Granny Smith apples on hand, just in case he gets an apple craving.

I love baking blondies because there are so many variations....
