It’s a fact. I feel best eating green food. And, yeah, I’m an organic girl whenever possible. Spending the extra money on organic food is my donation to the planet. But do what you can afford, because all veggies and fruit are good. I get a kick out of creating and consuming quick and easy …
Rustic Mushroom Spaghetti Squash Sauté
Here’s an earthy rendition of spaghetti squash sauté using mushrooms, spinach, garlic, and other good stuff. I begin sampling this dish way before it’s ready. The aroma of sautéing mushrooms, onions, garlic, and spinach makes my mouth water. And I certainly need to taste it while I’m salting it. A quick note on dairy: A …
Creamed Spinach {dairy-free}
If you’re a creamed spinach lover but you’re not eating dairy, no need to wonder what other dishes you’ll be able to eat. You can have this. Creamed spinach is usually made with dairy-based cream and cheese, which is not an option for folks avoiding dairy. This recipe uses cashew cream and spinach. The cashew cream …
Wonton Meatball Soup
I’ve been craving a soup with a simple broth, some spinach, and a few tender wonton meatballs. I’ve been thinking about making this soup for months. No years. I love wonton soup. But I’ve stayed away from take-out soup for many years now. So it has come to this. And there’s no dough here. It …
Mexican Lasagna
There are so many great ways to make grain-free lasagna. Here’s one of my favorites from one of my cookbooks, The Healthy Coconut Flour Cookbook (page 149). There are a couple of techniques I use to make a gluten-free, grain-free lasagna: use vegetables as noodles, like zucchini or celeriac, bake all the ingredients minus the noodles and call …
Simple Green Smoothie
I’m feeling very guilty about being gone from here for so long, but rest assured I have been planning recipes to share. Now to just find the time to test, photograph, and share them. I try to keep smoothies as simple as possible, and this one is no exception. It uses just a few key ingredients: banana, …
Green Velvet Soup
It might be obvious that I’m a huge fan of cauliflower, since I use it in several recipes in my first cookbook as well as recipes here. Did you know that it makes a great base for soup? Here’s a velvety green dream of a soup—a creamy, fresh-greens medley, infused with a few good seasonings. …
Spinach Mushroom Frittata
Here’s what I’ve been eating while on the run this week. It’s fairly quick to make and it’s a recipe based on veggie leftovers. I ran around all day last Saturday, dashing in and out of the car to avoid a rainy, gloomy day, and then walked for an hour in the rain to exhaust …
Spinach Bacon Tomato Salad
I was trying out various takes on a warm spinach salad, but the weather is finally turning (warm) here. So while I usually eat spinach mixed in tarts or quiches, this salad is a nice change from the romaine and spring mixes. It’s kind of like a BLT salad (Bacon Lettuce Tomato). And it goes …
Eggs Florentine and Fresh Juice
Sitting down with a tasty, cool beverage is relaxing and social (in our society). My kids love it. But they’re kids and they’re marketed to 24/7, so those cool looking containers catch their eye and their mind. We all love eye candy – it’s not their fault. Consumers in the making. So I work hard …
Spinach Tart {with an almond flour quiche crust}
I love green food. I always have. I was the kid who liked broccoli, spinach, squash, and brussel sprouts. My perfect quick meal is sauteed spinach with onions, olive oil, cheese, and 2 eggs. Basically the filling for Spanakopita, Greek spinach pie. Here is my version of a spinach pie using an almond flour pie …
