Healthy Almond Joy Bites

After weeks of cookies, cocktails and indulging without abandon, I decided that January 2017 needed to be a month without refined sugars.

Why Family Tradition Makes Food Taste Better

Family recipes pack a certain transportive power — when you bite into that same cookie that grandma used to make, you’re suddenly a kid again standing in the middle of her kitchen. The aromas and tastes are directly tied to the memory centers of our brains, and one bite can unlock a lost world of familiarity. But […]

17 Super Bowl Recipes That Are Actually Healthy

Hope I don’t upset anyone when I say that I have no idea which teams are playing in the Super Bowl this year (and I actually had to google the date. Oops!) While I admit that the commercials and half-time performances are more up my alley than the game itself, the real touch-down for me is the yummy eats. For […]

Breakfast

Jam-Filled Gluten-Free Muffins

These muffins took a few tries to get just perfect because, well, gluten-free baking is not for the faint of heart. I wanted these to be worthy of Valentine’s Day breakfast, which means that they needed to taste moist and sweet and more indulgent than they actually are. And finally, after a few tries that didn’t […]

Green Kitchen Travels’ Cold Avocado Soup

Michelle Adams of The Maryn served this cold vegan soup as an appetizer during her healthy January lunch. “You can prepare this a day ahead and keep in a closed container in the fridge,” she says. “If you’re not vegan you can also try replacing the coconut milk with yogurt.” She adapted this recipe from one […]

Kale, Persimmon, & Pomegranate Salad

2016 was the year that I finally boarded the persimmon train. I know, I know: those of you who were early adopters are shaking your heads in bewilderment that I’ve made it this far in my adult life without falling in love with persimmons, but there you have it. I’d always walk right past the […]

How to Make Restaurant Quality Ramen at Home

I know I’m not alone when I say that for the first two decades of my life, “ramen” equalled dehydrated noodles in plastic wrap, paired with sodium-packed powdered flavoring. And while that store-bought version of the classic Japanese dish certainly wasn’t glamorous, something about the comfort of noodles in warm broth still made it undeniably enjoyable. Then came the real […]
