Whom I’ve Been Cooking Lately*
* Obviously, not literally. I mean, I’m vegan, after all! [Raw Chocolate Walnut Brownies from Eat Raw, Eat Well by Douglas McNish.] I’ve been so busy with my own book tour the past couple of weeks that you might suppose all I do is eat Naturally Sweet & Gluten-Free treats all day. Nothing could be […]
Easy Smoky BBQ Kale Chips (That Can Be Made in Your Oven!)
You know how certain situations just feel as if they’ve been that way forever? I mean, I can’t even recall what our lives were like before we had Elsie and Chaser. The first time I visited New York City, I felt totally at home, and knew I’d be back often. With some of my blogging […]

[Clockwise from large photo: Baked Blueberry Breakfast Pudding, Apple Pie Smoothie, Low-Fat Cinnamon Walnut Loaf, Quick & Easy High Protein Single-Serve Pancakes, High Protein Cranberry-oat Smoothie, Avocado on “Toast.”] Are you back at the books this week?

Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream (No Ice Cream Maker Required!)
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while (well, at least a few months’ time), you likely know how much I loathe the cold weather. In particular, I detest snow and ice. Oh, and frost. Also rime. And let’s not forget slush. Plus, boots and hats and mitts and gloves and scarves and big, […]
Gingered Potatoes with Browned Onions and Tomatoes

Flash in the Pan: Roasted Green Bean Salad with Citrus Balsamic Reduction (Plus Candida Diet Variation)
[Stay tuned for some big changes on the blog! A new design is in the works and will be up and running very soon. . . in the meantime, you might like to take a peek at part of the new look, here. Can’t wait to share with you all!] When I was in nutrition […]
Raw S’Mores (Grain Free, Vegan, Candida-Diet Friendly)
From what I can tell, S’mores are the quintessential “camp” food. What child hasn’t eaten a gooey S’mores bar? Well, dear readers, it’s True Confession time: I am that child who has never eaten a S’mores bar. (Does that make me S’less?) When I was a kid, summers were a fairly solitary affair. Early on, […]
Coconut Crusted Tofu Appetizer Bites with Creamy Green Curry Dipping Sauce
Summer really is the perfect time to throw a party, isn’t it? The weather welcomes outdoor events, quick preparation, colorful foods to adorn backyard tabletops, and people are just generally. . . . happier (okay, so I’m talking about me. In summer, I am generally happier).
Six Degrees of Alisa and Hallie–and No Bake Chocolate Chunk (or Chip) Cookies!

If you’ve got someone in mind you’d like me to approach for an interview, please shoot me an email at rickiATrickihellerDOTcom, or leave a comment here and […]
