These plant based milks are becoming incredibly popular, with almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, oat milk, hemp milk, coconut milk, and hazelnut milk being widely available at health food stores […]
Athena Panini
I had to think of a fancy name for my absolute favorite sandwich of the moment. It’s essentially a Mediterranean sandwich, made with creamy goat cheese and marinated veggies. I recently invested in a great little panini griddle, and I use it all the time because my daughter is obsessed with grilled sandwiches. But, I […]

The following raw zucchini cilantro dip uses the amazing health benefits of coriander (cilantro), a herb that has anti-inflammatory properties as well as helps with the digestion of fat!

5 Yummy Election-Viewing Snacks
I seriously over-snacked on unhealthy caramel corn during the last Presidential debate. A large bag found its way from the pantry onto the coffee table, and the rest is history. Stressful TV watching, especially for long-drawn-out periods of time, necessitates some serious snacking. However, if you don’t want to feel dreadful afterwards, you might want to […]
