The other night I found a recipe in the Engine 2 book that I wanted to try. It was an incredibly simple meal of a baked sweet potato, a side of steamed greens with a cashew sauce and a roasted pepper. It felt like an austere meal fit for a monk or a practicing yogi. […]

The postal carrier dropped them off at exactly the right moment like he had some sort of […]

Since yesterday’s post was about avoiding salt I thought it would be fun for today’s post to embrace pepper. I used a low sodium veg broth and black pepper a go-go to create this wacky green nest noodle dish. During the experimental phase of this recipe creation I added 2 Tsp of pepper to the […]

This winter I have found that I have been craving two things almost daily, a really hot bath and a decaf, sugar free Peppermint Mocha with soy milk. The latter is kind of an expensive habit that I have not let myself indulge in that frequently lest I take out a personal loan to support […]
