I’ve been making salad dressings lately—-and using recipes to do it. In the past, I’ve tried the approximation method with dressings and I’ve learned my lesson. It rarely works for me (and generally ruins my salad) when I just dump things in that sounds like they might go well together. My last two dressings were …
I’m going to call my first microgreens harvest a very big success. I learned a few things from this experience: 1. Labeling bulk purchases of seeds (and other things) is important later. 2. More is not always better. 3. Dirt cleans up pretty easily. 4. It’s much cheaper to grow greens than to buy them. …

(This is a duplicate to my post on my own blog; Lisa asked that I share it with all of you. Enjoy!) I’ve been desperate to make hummus in my new food processor since the moment I arrived home with it. I’ve had two recipes (both raw, vegan and gluten free) that I’ve tried previously, …
I’ve tried making a Shamrock Shake Impersonator twice now. The first one was gross—I tried to make it healthy instead of just trying to make it not “poison” (i.e. the McDonald’s version–which I did have last Sunday. Hey, I had to have a point of reference for my recipe experimentation!). I put in pineapple, spinach, …
I made this for lunch yesterday, and Joe told me that it was the best thing I’ve ever made. Seriously, I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not, but it was really good and super healthy! Here’s what I did: Spread hummus into a pie dish (you could use whatever dish you wanted to—I …
Yesterday, I made a smoothie that was similar to the Valentine’s Day smoothie, except I didn’t measure the ingredients, left out the hemp protein powder and cacao, and added about 2 cups of spinach. I thought it would turn brown…but it didn’t. It was awesome, didn’t taste the spinach at all, and it was a …
If you’ve known me for a while, you may recognize this smoothie…it’s the Avocolada! I have used a version of this in smoothie demos, and usually get mixed reviews—-people who don’t like avocados tend to go into it thinking they won’t like it. And they don’t. I love it, even though this recipe made about …
Today’s smoothie features a powerful antioxidant, omega fat and amino acid source—acai. You pronounce this “ah-sigh–ee” and it is a very trendy superfood lately. You may have seen/heard commercials for cleanse and detox programs featuring the acai berry. It’s good for you, but like everything else, it’s not magic! In fact, a lot of those …
Today I wanted a combination recovery plus energy boost smoothie. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) it turned out more like a pudding. Here’s the recipe: 1 3/4 cups coconut milk 1/2 scoop Vega powder (chocolate flavor) 2 Tbsp raw cacao powder 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup chia seeds 2-3 Tbsp agave 1 Tbsp maca powder I …
