Serves 1. A great example of a healthy morning or afternoon snack that will take as long as it takes for you to walk to your pantry/cupboard, come back with these ingredients, pour them into a blender and hit blend. What’s that…5 minutes? If even? Why not make a triple batch of this and throw […]
As promised, today on the blog we share a recipe contributed by our inspirational March Guest of the Month, Lola Berry. This scrumptious Roast Chicken is a recipe from Lola’s beautiful new cook book, The 20/20 Diet Cookbook. As the weather cools here in the South, there’s no better time to be sharing a tummy […]
My thoughts are this — most protein powders are not our friends. The vast majority seem to be full of ingredients made in a laboratory, ingredients that are highly processed and full of synthetic ingredients (including artificial sweeteners) that are toxic to our bodies. If what you are putting on your fork is not actually […]
If I could bake this loaf every day, I would. Laden with so much goddam goodness, it is seriously deeeeeeeLISH! This loaf made its first glorious appearance in my A Nourishing Morning eBook and it’s been a standard in my kitchen ever since. An all-round good guy in the nutritious and delicious stakes, it’s a […]
You know, I ummed and ahhed about sharing this recipe; I’ve done similar versions before and questioned whether I was bringing enough variety to your weekly menu. I also questioned its simplicity. Then I reconsidered, because it’s exactly what I am trying to do on this website — show you how easy it is to make real, simple, […]

Full of antioxidants with amazing anti-inflammatory and other health benefits, there really isn’t anything not to like about them. Purple foods have nutrients that just aren’t found in many other fruits and veggies, so next time you’re sitting down to ‘eat […]
Back in «the day» I’d be all over a traditional Summer Pudding. Sugary-berry-puree-soaked-white-bread lining the bowl, cooked sugary berries filling its cavity. Of course the Summer Pudding was at it’s finest when dolloped with vanilla infused whipped cream. Yum scrum. All however, is not lost. I decided to set my hand to ‘healthyfying’ this very pudding […]
One of the best things about eating only seasonal produce is the way it feels when their times comes around again — you get such a lovely suprise when they greet you in store, in the season for which they belong. Mangoes and raspberries in summer, figs towards the end of summer, mushrooms in autumn, […]
A super-quick blend of reduced-fat sour cream and salsa serves double duty as salad dressing and seasoning for the meat in our updated version of Tex-Mex taco salad. Depending on the type of salsa you use, the salad will vary in heat. We keep this version light with lean turkey, but lean ground beef (about […]
I thought I’d highlight one of the ingredients I reach for most often. Yogurt isn’t just for breakfast or a quick snack; it has limitless possibilities. If you wrap it in cheesecloth and let it drain, you’ll end up with creamy, delicious yogurt cheese (labneh), to which you can add herbs, spices, or citrus zest […]
