My friend Sionann shared a fun little recipe for a turmeric latte that is earthy, robust, and not-the-same-old-coffee drink. The exotic taste and scent of the turmeric (the magical Indian spice found in curry) is a tasty twist and packs a powerful punch of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. There are some studies that suggest turmeric is helpful in relieving upset stomach, osteoarthritis pain, with possible links to suppressing the growth of fat tissue. (However- if you have gallbladder issues such as stones, bleeding disorders, iron deficiency, hormone-sensitive conditions, or are pregnant you should avoid medicinal quantities of turmeric according to…

Sometimes an idea for a recipe or a flavor combination will pop in my head and I just HAVE to try it. Yesterday, the idea of grilled chicken breast with a maple-mustard glaze popped in, quickly followed by the taste for a BLT… and I knew I had to try it. So good! I am quite sure that there are other versions of this out there, but here’s my super-simple recipe. Enjoy! Organic chicken breast cutlets (thin sliced- mine were about 1/2 inch at the thickest) Heirloom tomato Maple bacon (you can sub turkey bacon if you prefer) Organic Romaine…

My friend Kelly (cupcakekelbel on Instagram) shared this AH-MAH-ZING salad with me to pass along to you. And let me tell you, it’s a beauty! Super hearty and filling without making you feel heavy. You could totally make a meal out of this on it’s own, or serve alongside a lean meat, fish, or pasta dish. It takes a bit of time to prep because you are roasting the veggies, but hey, that glass of Chardonnay isn’t going to drink itself. *For vegetarians and vegans, just leave out the bacon altogether. Adapted from: Kim’s Cravings (2 servings; approximately 780 calories…

My friend Mikey swears by this recipe for a go-to, super easy breakfast fix. It’s the Coco-Nutty Grain Free Porridge from the book Practical Paleo by Diane Sanfilippo. It looks super simple and I have pretty much all of the ingredients on hand in my pantry at any given time, so I’m stoked to give this a try for a weekday breakfast that’s hearty enough to get me through a busy morning without making me late. I think I can push myself past the word “porridge” to give it a try! 😉

I’m always on the lookout for easy, tasty meals that are low-cal but still flavorful & filling. This one is awesome to make ahead and take to work or school for your lunch the next day. There are loads of versions of this Kale & Quinoa salad, so feel free to personalize it and make it your own. 🙂 This one is loaded with protein, iron, & calcium from the quinoa plus Vitamins C, A, and K from the kale, plus the benefits of antioxidants & vitamins from the blueberries and super healthy omega-3 fatty acids from the hemp seed…

Here’s a tasty and simple salad that’s light and quick. Just the ticket to keep you on track after a holiday feast. The dark leaf lettuce and lean turkey are pleasantly filling without the painful bloat and food coma. Dressed simply with hemp seed oil and freshly ground Kampot pepper for nutty, earthy flavor balance. So good! Romaine lettuce Shredded chunks of turkey breast About a tbsp of cold pressed organic hemp seed oil (I like the one from Nutiva) Freshly ground Kampot pepper I like to get my pepper from my pals Cris and Tom at Pepper Project, because…

Mantra: I like to eat, so I choose nourishing meals that satisfy me! Here’s a tasty little something I whipped up in the kitchen that makes a nice light meal or a hearty side dish: Brussels Sprouts & Bacon. It was filling, sweet, crunchy, savory, easy-peasy and super satisfying. I don’t really measure stuff, I just kind of play with it- so the measurements are more guesstimate than fact. I also don’t actually count calories, but if you’re into that then this is pretty low-cal. You can always substitute margarine for the butter and leave out the bacon, if that…
