It’s almost time for Chocolate Day Long-Stemmed Roses Day Cheesy Greeting Card Day Valentine’s Day, which means eating way more sweet stuff than you may be used to. Ever since I started an anti-candida diet back in 2009, I’ve sought out healthy, low glycemic treats for the Day of Love each year. I mean, if […]

Roasted Garlic and Cauliflower Soup with Herbed Dumplings
[photo: Nicole Axworthy] Okay, before I even begin today’s post, let me state unequivocally: I am not going to make any references whatsoever to the Super Bowl.

Chestnut Spice Latte
First of all: Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great celebration ringing in the new year. The HH, The Girls and I enjoyed some down time at home after a veritable whirlwind during the month of December; but by the 31st, we were kind of pooped and could think of nothing better than […]

Chickpea and Kale Sandwich Spread & Review of Plant Power by Nava Atlas
