I knew what Kale was before being popularized by the raw food movement. I wasn’t particularly eager to rush out and try it, though. What was all the rage? I just didn’t get it. People were going crazy, you’d think it was chocolate! A good base for a smoothie, right? Well, I knew what kale Read More
It’s not always easy to start your day with something nutritious. As a rule, I do not like to buy power bars, granola bars, etc. I prefer to make my own, and it really takes no time at all. Make a big batch and keep them in the refrigerator. I usually have a couple Read More
Finding locally grown organic, gluten free, and raw ingredients are aplenty, but getting them all in one stop can be challenging. I remember driving into Vancouver in anticipation of picking up that last ingredient in order to make a new dish. And many times, those trips proved unsuccessful. I resorted to calling the stores ahead of Read More
This dish can be served as a main course, or as a side. When I first made this, I wasn’t sure if my children would enjoy it. They love my culinary creations, but when something is a bit “too healthy”, they pause to investigate, but eventually give ’em a try. Look at the vibrant greens Read More
It’s a bit ironic that I’m writing about BBQ cooking. It’s not like I ever cooked on a BBQ! Though I always thought I would try, perfecting the art, in order to have a throw-down with my husband. I love a good challenge … After years of thinking I want to, intending to, I have Read More

Have you ever wondered what this journey might look like, especially since we are a bunch of foodies. Yes, even my children. They love their food. In fact, I sometimes stress when they Read More
I had the opportunity of living in the Dallas Metroplex, and accepted. It really was a no-brainer. My idea of Texas was a more modern John Wayne movie set. I remember watching westerns with my parents, and for some reason, maybe like some of you, I fell in love with the “Wild West”. After watching Read More
Ever since I started my 90-day (paleo) challenge, I have been looking for things outside of the grain/wheat/starch families to use as a staple. My challenge ended May 31st, but it has become part of my lifestyle, a great thing. My goal before the year is out — 60% raw/40&% paleo. I hadn’t put much Read More
As a food ‘n fitness junkie for as long as I can remember, I am always fascinated with new lifestyle choices, and there are plenty of those. This year, my goal was to cut out wheat products, and I did that when I joined a friend’s 90-day challenge group. This is not a challenge where Read More
