You know that almost all power bars and energy bars are complete crap for you, right? Have you read the ingredients? Can you even identify half of them as food? Pretty sad, especially since their reputation is one that supports weight loss, athleticism, and overall...

This is one of my favorite fruit recipes for kids because it takes 30 seconds to make, and provides antioxidants, potassium, iron, and protein. The mainstream public is finally starting to learn that probiotic and cultured foods are a necessary part of a really...

This is quite a unique, but VERY good salsa recipe. You would never know by looking at the picture, but it has this great warm and comforting taste to it from the cumin. It’s not your typical Mexican-tasting salsa, which makes it awesome for a party crowd, who...

One of my favorite black bean recipes! This dish is really versatile because you can make it just as a salsa, or you can fill a whole wheat tortilla with it for a really delicious wrap! You can go vegetarian or carnivore with this recipe, too. Just add some chicken...

This Southwestern Black Beans and Rice Recipe is a perfect example of how mexican food really can be healthy. This recipe is such a trick because it doesn’t taste very healthy, but it’s really a nutritious, low-calorie comfort food. A nice combination of...

This is seriously the best egg salad recipe I’ve ever had. I know you’re probably thinking an egg salad sandwich is an egg salad sandwich… we’ve all had the basic version a million times. But this one adds such flavor depth, and even quite a...
