My friend KC Thor of KC’s Kafe developed this recipe a year ago for an episode on her What’s Cookin show. I’ve long awaited the new squash harvest this year and this is now my absolute favorite butternut squash soup recipe. It’s an amazing savory blend of flavors that is super easy to put together. I’ll be […]
Gluten-Free Tabouli
Tabouli goes gluten-free when you use quinoa in place of the wheat grains. One of my favorite vegetarian dishes, traditional tabouli, is made with bulgur wheat. Since becoming gluten-free I’ve made this version with quinoa (a gluten-free grain) which has a texture similar to bulgur. Quinoa also has more protein than any other grain! […]

Peppermint Hot Cocoa
My kids like to drink hot chocolate several times a week in the winter. Most hot cocoa mixes contain chemicals, colorings and unhealthy sugars and sweeteners, some with Nutrasweet. Nutrasweet is also known as Aspartame and turns to ethyl alcohol when heated. I avoid these processed ingredients by making my own hot chocolate recipe. My […]
Wolfberry Coleslaw
My whole life I’ve had an aversion to coleslaw, I’m not quite sure why except that I cannot eat mayonnaise and the coleslaw I’ve seen bears too similar a resemblance to the creamy white condiment I can hardly even smell. This is not the traditional coleslaw you may think of being served in every diner […]
Enzymes, The Key To Life, Part 1

Some other body elements that are even more important are enzymes. Enzymes assist practically all body functions. Digestive enzymes break down food particles so nutrients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. […]
Oven Roasted Seasonal Vegetables
