Avocado Baked Eggs
I like having these once a month or so. I made these again today (to get the picture for the recipe) and also tried something new. I added a couple Baby Spinach leaves to each Avocado pocket before adding the egg – I wont do that again! It tasted wonderful […]
Macadamia & Cashew Milks are Wonderful
These two Whole Foods finds are awesome! I love both Macadamia nuts and Cashew nuts and have them as a treat now and then, mostly because they’re expensive. I just tried both of these milk substitutes with lunch and they both taste wonderful. Both are Organic and Unsweetened. The taste […]
Strawberry Tomato Gazpacho
I’ve made this dish for MANY years during the hot months. I actually make it a little different each time because I use what’s in the refrigerator. I also always use Cento San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes because they taste perfect with this dish. Great as a snack or side dish […]

Caprese Salad
These can be used to accompany nearly any dish. It’s particularly good to have the Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar whisked and served in a bowl to dip in – or, brush it on.
Cilantro Pesto
This is an old recipe that I have updated to be better nutritionally. It’s really quick to make and keeps in refrigerator for at least if week (if it lasts that long). It’s also fun to add in an Avocado so its a a little bit creamy. You can do […]
