I’ve completely jumped onto the ‘Bowl’ bandwagon. Rice bowls, ramen bowls, power bowls, Buddha bowls, dragon, macro, breakfast and lunch bowls….they all make me happy. The perfect portion of noodles, rice or grains with added protein & veggie love. Our latest creation is the Honey Walnut Shrimp Power Bowl inspired by ingredients already on hand. Win-win power bowl.

Sweet & Sticky Sesame Walnuts make a great bar snack, game-day nibble, or holiday cookie tin addition. That was reason enough to make them.
Only four ingredients and steps so simple that very little words are required was reason enough to share them with you. Continue reading »

I was introduced to energy bites recently and fell in love. The idea of raw whole ingredients being combined into delicious pop-in-your-mouth treats is well just down right exciting. There is certainly a growing movement towards stepping away from processed foods and incorporating whole foods into our diets. Snack foods is a great place to start. Continue reading »

My motivation to make Dark Chocolate & Walnut Biscotti was pure and simple. It was my appreciation for the ‘good people’ out there. You know the ones. The folks that do the little things to make your day special, never looking for anything in return. Continue reading »

We’ve been making a big pot of Farmers Market Minestrone Soup each week. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy fresh produce and gives us a healthy option for lunch or dinner throughout the week. Since we’ll be having soup for lunch today I decided to make these Savory Parmesan & Herb Walnut Biscotti to serve on the side. Continue reading »
