A sweet and spicy broccoli rabe recipe that takes the bitterness right out of the nutrient dense vegetable in this easy sauté. If I was half way good at this blogging thing I would’ve had a very entertaining (only in retrospect) story for you today involving a 5 mile run, a thunderstorm and a towed …
A traditional mango lassi recipe that’s delicious and perfect for summer. You can make this in your blender in just 5 minutes. Is there anything more tropical feeling than mango? I think not. That’s why on a rainy/thunderstorm-y day this was the perfect afternoon pick me up. I’ve already told you how my father grew …
Collard greens, goat cheese and tomatoes make a simple and delicious frittata. Great for lunch or dinner. When life gives you 2/$4 organic cage free eggs, you make a frittata for lunch. Seriously, how good of a deal is that for 2 dozen eggs? Some recent changes at my job have left me now working …
A quick and easy recipe for cherry coconut chocolate chip dough balls. They’re the perfect healthy treat or snack. Those sound good don’t they? They are and we’ll get to them in a second but first, guess who got back on the strength training bandwagon today? Me, me, me! After 2 weeks off, I felt …

An all-fruit smoothie made with club soda and mint infused simple syrup that’s packed with strawnberries, nectarines and limes. No progress on the back yesterday. The pain was much pretty similar to Monday but I did rig up quite the set-up on the couch so I could comfortably lay down and work on the computer …
What I thought was a little pull of a muscle Sunday night when I first did it got a lot worse overnight and I was in some serious back pain yesterday. I’m no stranger to this pain but it has been a long time since it’s been this bad. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, …
This strawberry nectarine lime bellini is a super refreshing summer drink. Want to know the best way to start off the weekend? Champagne. After seeing Jessica’s triple berry mojitos yesterday I was inspired. Inspired to finally make simple syrup for myself. Inspired to puree fruit in a blender. And mostly, inspired to drink. After a …
A lemony twist on your normal hummus filled with herbs and healthy fats from avocado. It’s great as a dip or even as a spread! That’s a mouthful huh?
