Craving Mexican food but not the indigestion? Every once in awhile, I crave Mexican food (guacamole is my favorite!) but then I remember how I usually feel after I eat it. Stuffed, bloated and generally yucky. When I created these spicy stuffed zucchini, I had only a few items on hand in addition to the zucchini. Some red onion, garlic,… Read More
One of the things I love most about cooking is not just creating recipes, but assembling recipes! The chia seed parfait I created this morning was less about cooking and more about putting the pieces together like a puzzle. I just used what I had in my kitchen to create this breakfast treat. And if you make it in a… Read More
It all started rather innocently. I had been slipping greens into what had previously been David’s all-fruit blueberry smoothie. He didn’t seem to care, or even notice for that matter.

They’re so often overlooked, because most people don’t know how to cook these ruddy little root vegetables which are high in Vitamin C. Then I had braised turnips at Locanda in San Francisco last August and… Read More

Did you know that just like you winterize your car, you can make your salads more winter friendly too? Here are some of my tried and true tips: Add hearty whole grains – add… Read More
I love 3-day weekends (which I DO oblige in even as an entrepreneur) but come Sunday night, I’m usually already wiped out and the thought of a third night in a row on the town is hard to swallow even though I want to take advantage of my extra day off. Fortunately, we had the perfect solution as our friends… Read More
Most mornings I like to wake up my digestive system with fresh juice, usually something green like this Green Lemonade. However, there are times when I want something a little sweeter with some zing and this juice is the perfect solution! Carrots and grapefruit are in season and they create a perfect combination.
