coconut cashew chicken tenders

published last year, at the start of January

Ever have one of those moments where you refuse to give up something as good as say, chicken tenders? In our house, we have had to eliminate a record number of foods over the past 5 years (since diagnosis). And we are better for it. Our guts are stronger. We are healthier. The tough part? [...]

corn free tortilla chips

published 2 years ago, mid-April

My children do not tolerate seeds of any kind. No sunflower, no flax, no chia, and no sesame. Which basically puts any kind of a chip-in-a-bag off limits. Have you ever tried to locate a healthy gluten free chip that is not cooked in sunflower oil ? It’s a rare thing, friends. Instead of allowing myself [...]

I struggle to wrap my head around the fact that we are nearly to the Superbowl. That the President has been in office for an entire year already. That it’s 2010!  The pace of life has remained a steady gallop for quite some time. Not that I would have it any other way. I know [...]

And I shall have to wait until Saturday morning to go back to the market [...]

Greetings everyone. We are back from our South African adventure. It was a long 36 hour journey back to our home sweet home but we made it in one piece. The time change (8 hours difference – backwards) has done a number on us. But, we are managing to make the transition, albeit slowly. I will be certain [...]

eggplant spread

published 5 years ago, at the start of August

This is one of those recipes that you make once, and you will forever be committed to it. It is so delicious. It tastes sinful but it is actually quite healthy. And it’s vegetarian. I like to spread it on toast, crackers, or use it as a spread on a sandwich in place of mayonnaise. The possibilities are [...]

louise’s lemon dill dip

published 5 years ago, mid-July

Yesterday, I was at the supermarket. As I rounded the corner, there were these huge perky bunches of organic dill perched right in front of my shopping cart. My first thought was the lemon dill dip of my childhood. Our neighbor Louise used to make it for us. She was the coolest lady with incredible stories of travelling the [...]
