I am a huge fan of recipes that don't require use of an oven. Because coconut oil solidifies in cool temperatures, all you need is a freezer or refrigerator to make this simple dessert recipe stick together. This recipe takes only about 15 minutes from start to finish!

Read MoreMy cousin, Debbie, made this green smoothie for her adorable 3 and 5 year old girls and they thought it was delicious! They loved the fact that it looked like grass and appropriately named it the "Front Lawn" :) I had to see what all the hype was about so I made it myself and my oh my...this smoothie is a tasty one!
Read MoreAs you may have noticed from many of the recipes I post, I'm a big fan of meals that don't take a lot of time to prepare. I like to refer to them as my version of "fast food". Many of you tell me that you're so busy that you don't "have time" to cook, which results in lots of takeout, drive-thrus and less than ideal food choices.
Read MoreCooking meat at home is relatively new for me. I used to eat mostly vegetarian at home and satisfy my carnivorous cravings when I ate out so someone else could cook the meat for me. My constantly evolving journey of figuring out what types of food best support my health (from mostly vegetarian, to mostly raw, to mostly vegan, to mostly gluten-free, to mostly sugar-free) has most recently landed me in the land of the Paleo Diet (though I hate calling it a diet, because it's really more of a lifestyle)
Read MoreEven after I purchased my fancy, schmancy, high-speed Vitamix blender (which I LOOOOVE!), I used to have zero interest in making almond milk. I thought it was too expensive and took too long. Quite frankly, I didn't want to be bothered with what I use to consider to be such an arduous process. Well, things change and for the last 3 weeks, I have been totally obsessed with making my own almond milk
Read MoreNot all chocolate is created equal.
That's why sometimes it's touted as a health food and other times we hear we should run the other way.
In this post, I'm going to share with you some things to look for in chocolate so you can choose the most nutritious kind and enjoy it guilt-free.
Read MoreThis simple recipe is a healthier take on deep-fried, fast food french fries. Serve alongside burgers, sandwiches or wraps. Also makes a great snack at your next party (though you'll want to double, triple, etc. the recipe for that!)
Read MoreThis healing drink is perfect if you feel like you're coming down with a cold, already have one, or are surrounded by people who are sick. You can also drink it to relieve mild stomach upset.
Read MoreChristine is a good friend of mine as well as my weekly walking buddy and healthy dinner companion. When I asked her if she could recommend any quinoa recipes, she shared this one with me, stating that it was a hit every time she made it for her boyfriend or brought it to potlucks. I could see why, after I made it for myself. Not only are the flavors and textures a treat for the taste buds, but this recipe is easy and requires very few ingredients and little time (under 25 minutes). Great for potlucks or as a side dish at your next dinner party.
