I’m not so great at posting veggie recipes—most of the veggie dishes I make are not actually recipes. I just throw things together and hope for the best. It’s usually good, but there’s no method to that madness. I did make something post-worthy (in my opinion) this week, though. Aparagus with Mushrooms and Roasted Red …

Sugar free, grain free….easy, and not many ingredients. That’s just how I do things. I was really surprised about how well these truffles/macaroons turned out. They really can be two different things, depending on if you dip or drizzle the chocolate! These do not need to be baked or dehydrated (in fact, I think that …
Yesterday was packed full for me—and I knew I needed to be home by around 3:00 so I could make a contribution to dinner (I was in charge of dessert). Kind of a fair trade (for me) … My neighbors (Mom and Fred) made everything else, and I brought wine and dessert. This dessert was …

Last night, I stopped by my friend Carol’s house…it was a last minute get together—I had things scheduled all day, and it just turned out that the timing was right for me to run over there and catch up with two of my favorite people. Carol always makes the most amazing food—and I just sit …

Monday was taco salad night over here. Since I don’t eat grains anymore, I skip the chips and just use crunchy lettuce. I know, to chip-eaters, that probably does not sound like a good trade, but I swear it works. I also sub in greek yogurt for sour cream, and I make my own taco …
I finally did something new in the kitchen today. With traveling, work, and my lack of managing my stress lately, I haven’t had the time or the creative mind to do anything new (or much of anything at all) in the kitchen. Today, I did this. Mini Peanut Butter Cheesecakes with Chocolate/Espresso Crumble Step 1: …

As a part of my quest to feed my mitochondria, I committed to adding beef liver to my diet. It definitely took me a while to make this happen, but I had ordered some from Tropical Traditions a few months ago and left it in my freezer for a day when I figured out what …

I had a really busy weekend, and just have a couple things to share with you. I worked out several times, and am currently icing my achilles. I don’t know, maybe I jumped over/on too many tractor tires with my trainer this morning, but he didn’t seem to think so! On Friday night, I met …

I mentioned it before, but I really didn’t eat anything out of the ordinary while I was in Cali. I was really impressed by the healthy choices that were available…everywhere. I didn’t, however, stick to the Feed My Mitochondria plan (I mean, I could have had some seaweed but I’m not so sure it would …
Peanut Butter Mousse…and back to Feeding My Mitochondria Read More »
I’m on my way back to NY, so the weekend of fun in Cali has come to an end! I’m trying to talk myself into grading final exams for three classes and doing discussion posts in two others. I should do it—I’m captive on this plane for a few more hours! It’s always an interesting …
