Okay, first, just in case anyone wants to get technical on me and my healthy quiche recipe… technically, this is a frittata. The difference between frittata and quiche is that quiche is baked in a pie crust and frittata is cooked on the cooktop first, and then...

This healthy pasta recipe doesn’t really taste all that healthy to me because it’s just so rich and buttery and creamy and, hello! It’s PASTA! If you’re trying to lose weight, I wouldn’t eat pasta every day. But as long as your diet is...

I still remember the first time I tried this Caprese Salad recipe. We were at a friends house, and she had just returned from the local farmers’ market with the freshest tomatoes and basil. One after another caprese melted in my mouth until they were all gone....

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...

I love this crepe recipe because it really does taste just like the amazing crepes you’d find in a Parisian café, light and soft, sweet but not too sweet, melty in your mouthy… the only problem is, they’re usually made with refined flour and topped...

Love is most certainly in the air around here, and not only because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. This recipe for healthy peanut butter cups was very intimidating to me because it was my first time making any sort of candy from scratch, and candy is...

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...

This delicious banana split dessert shake recipe is a healthy treat for those mornings that you just don’t feel like adding a lot of green to your smoothies. If you’re just getting into fruit and green smoothies this is a good one to keep you going...

Before I get into the details of these Avocado Enchiladas, I should give a small disclaimer. I am a whole foods advocate. For me, whole foods are defined as anything completely natural or as close to natural as possible. This obviously includes all fruits and...

I really, REALLY love this authentic hummus recipe! Sometimes, even when you buy it from the store, hummus just doesn’t taste right. But that’s not the case with this one. It’s got this wonderful depth of flavor, with a hint of sweetness....
