    Strawberry Beet Smoothie

    August 30, 2021 / 0 Comments

    I detest beets. I have tried- roasted beets, shaved beets and goat cheese, borscht. The strawberries make this one palatable, even to me! Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on pinterest Share on email Share on google A glorious sense of well-being spread like honey throughout Lars’s body. “For most of you, your last smoothie contained both a dosage of LSD and a liquid form of psilocybin, a naturally occurring substance found in certain mushrooms.” Liane Moriarty, Nine Perfect Strangers Tweet Healthy and delicious!

    Ginger Apple Kale Smoothie

    August 30, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Kale and smoothie?? I promise, this one is tasty. With all of the pineapple, ginger and mint you’ll wonder where the kale went.  Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on pinterest Share on email Share on google This afternoon’s smoothies were all the same emerald-green color. Spinach? thought Frances with alarm, but when she took hers and had a sip she tasted apple, honeydew melon, and pear, with undertones of moss and bark. It brought to mind a walk by a babbling brook in a dappled green forest. She tossed it back like tequila.” Liane Moriarty, Nine Perfect Strangers Tweet Healthy and delicious! If you like…

    I now look forward to leftover rice. These little balls are so delicious and comforting! Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on pinterest Share on email Share on google A classic Italian Great Depression recipe, this uses leftover rice and breadcrumbs. “Elsa learned—to her surprise and to her mother-in-law’s—that she wasn’t a quitter. She woke up each morning well before her husband and got into the kitchen in time to make coffee. She learned to make and eat and love food she had never heard of, made from ingredients she’d never seen—olive oil, fettuccine, arancini, pancetta.” Kristin Hannah, The Four Winds Tweet If you like this…

    Innocent Meringue Cookies

    December 2, 2020 / 0 Comments

    A dessert doesn’t get much more innocent than this. At only 23 calories per cookie, these are light, sweet and guilt free.  In the law of innocence, for every man not guilty of a crime, there is a man out there who is. And to prove true innocence, the guilty man must be found and exposed to the world. That was my plan. To go further than a jury verdict. To expose the guilty and make my innocence clear. It was the only way out. Michael Connelly, The Law of Innocence Tweet Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on pinterest Share on email Share on google…

    Verity Taco Bites

    October 21, 2020 / 0 Comments

    These taco bites are perfect for any party- even a party of one! The wonton shells add the perfect crunch and each person can add whatever toppings they desire (if you choose to share!). I love this easy, fun dinner! Sometimes I mix quinoa into the beef to lighten things up a bit. The possibilities are endless! “I made tacos.” I smile at him. “Is it time to eat already?” He laughs. “It’s after ten. It was time to eat three hours ago.” I look at the clock on the computer. How did I lose track of time? I guess that happens when you’re reading about a psychotic woman abusing…

    Gluten Free Chicken Piccata with Zoodles

    October 14, 2020 / 0 Comments

    I must admit, I was very skeptical of any noodle shaped vegetables replacing my pasta. I held off on the zoodle faze for a very long time but they have withstood the test of time. As I started cycle syncing and being more aware of how gluten affected my gut, I decided to buy some zucchini. This dish is delicious and healthy! The zoodles keep it light and the chicken is gluten free but the piccata keeps it tasty.
