It’s been a while since I last shared a new healthy recipe, I know, and it’s mainly because my options for ingredients changed drastically when we discovered a few critical food allergies that my son was dealing with. But this one’s a good basic recipe I thought you should have in your repertoire because it’s [...]

You may not associate healthy eating with eating cookies, and yet guess what? Here you go! And I assure you these little treats are not only healthy, but also very, very delicious.
Texture-wise, they’re a lot more like “regular” (i.e., non-healthy) cookies than any I’ve come across before — a real bonus! You’ll also notice that [...]

What’s more basic, delicious and healthy than a piping hot pan of roasted vegetables? This is a remarkably simple recipe that I came up with out of a desire to make as many varied healthy veggies as possible in the lowest-maintenance way, and it worked like a charm.
We all ate lots and lots (and lots) [...]

As I recently posted, we’re on a mission in my household to determine foods that are triggering allergic symptoms in my little boy. That’s meant a lot of simplifying of recipes (the understatement of the year) and finding ways to make delicious dishes out of a tiny handful of raw ingredients.
But even though we’re living [...]

Any other moms out there pressed for time but still want to eat great food? :) Silly question, right?
This split pea soup is a life-saver for me because it requires almost no chopping, cooks up in under an hour and tastes delicious. It’s my son’s favorite soup; like hummus, he’ll eat it pretty much any [...]

We are a big hummus household. My son requests “hummah” all the time and is happy to eat it plain or on whole grain bread, so I make at least 2 batches a week on slow weeks!
This recipe is remarkably simple, authentic and yet is far healthier than even the stuff you get at the [...]

I hear from a lot of women who really struggle to find a good salad dressing that is both healthful and delicious. That is doubly true if you’ve never had anything but the commercial bottled dressings, which are packed with plenty of things you don’t need to put into your body, such as huge amounts [...]

As a total creature of habit, I’ll admit out loud that my household typically has 1 of about 3 things for breakfast on a given day: apple-cinnamon oatmeal, oatmeal pancakes or a smoothie. Breakfast is not a meal I want to spend much time on — thinking about it, prepping it, cleaning up from it [...]

[Edited to add a healthy fat source -- no small triumph!]
I’ll admit it. I’m something of a pancake junkie.
When I was a kid, my favorite breakfast was my mom’s homemade pancakes, which she stirred up on many a weekend morning. In my teens, I took that recipe and tweaked it, adding enough butter and sugar [...]

Whenever people think of vegetarian cooking, they tend to think of lentils. Not always in a good way. And if you’ve had bland lentil dishes at a well-meaning vegetarian’s home before, you have my sympathies. But there is no reason for lentils to be boring in any context at all! You just have to know [...]
