My husband will be happy. I bought some crimini mushrooms today, for the first time in a long time. I haven’t been because, frankly, they cost extra dinero. Since our food bill is already going through the roof with the addition of another eater in the house, I thought, do we really need them? One [...]

Vegetable soup recipes, while a great part of a healthy diet, can get a bit dull sometimes. But I recently created a recipe for a vegetable soup that both my husband and I found quite tasty, if I do say so myself. I don’t often invent recipes, but the several zucchini and yellow squash I [...]

Egg nog often gets a bad rap these days. It definitely doesn’t fall under most people’s idea of a healthy diet. “Be careful what you drink,” the health “experts” caution, “raw eggs might give you salmonella.” (Um, a 1 in 30,000 chance, by the way.) In my opinion, the the super-thick, super-rich concoction in cartons–which, [...]

I’m talking about the sourdough bread I bake every couple weeks. Why do I think it’s the healthiest? Four reasons: I make mine with [...]

Behold the eggplant; Egg-shaped majesty, Thou art a purple-cloaked mystery: Do you fruit or veggie be? Well, enough of that. I’m not a poet and I do know it, thank you very much. I’m also not a huge eggplant fan–at least I wasn’t, until earlier this week. An eggplant – a great part of a [...]

Last Tasty Tuesday, I shared with you how I began the Great Green Smoothie Experiment. I told you what I found to be the tastiest greens in a smoothie, and which ones my body didn’t particularly like. (Note: Just because Swiss chard and collard greens don’t set well in my system, doesn’t mean that you [...]

The first time I heard about green smoothies, I had just begun a year-long experiment with raw food veganism. (You can read about why the experiment had to end when you sign up for “The Crunchy Coach News” and receive the free report noted in the subscription box. ) The concept sounded wonderful. Blend greens [...]

Trying to find a variety of healthy snacks in this world of junk and convenience foods can sometimes be a challenge. Back in the days when I taught Kindergarten, we had snack time in the afternoon. Every morning, I would watch the “snack helpers” of the day in the other classrooms bring in everything from [...]
