Grilled Steak, Arugula, & Peach Salad
For me, summertime means peaches, patios, and food cooked outside. To enjoy all the summer has to offer this is one of my favorite summertime salads. This is a perfect fast weeknight dinner or it makes a great potluck or picnic addition.
Roasted Strawberries & Rhubarb with Coconut Whip Cream
Strawberry and rhubarb combinations always bring me back to a happy time in my childhood where I would help my Papa in his garden and then my Nana making jams and pies in the kitchen. My Nana made the best strawberry and rhubarb pie and jam I ever tasted. One bite of this fruit pairing brings me right back to this time and always puts a smile on my face.
“Healthified” Chicken & Waffles
I pose the question.. can you make a healthier version of chicken & waffles? Haha. I have a very dear friend visiting me from New York and I wanted to make chicken and waffles for her as I know she likes it, but you know me! I need to attempt to healthify this recipe (at least to some degree). I always talk about balance in my posts, I feel in order to develop a healthy relationship with food you need to not feel restricted, you need to enjoy food and celebrate with others without feeling guilty afterward.
How to use Egg Shells in Organic Gardening
As a passionate advocate of food insecurity, I always am looking for ways to reduce waste in my kitchen and reuse any scraps I have. This means using leftover rice to make rice pudding, bones for bone broth, soft fruit and veggies get juiced or made into jams. Egg shells are packed calcium making them a perfect food for your garden plants. While most of us toss our egg shells away, organic gardeners know that they are a great addition to any garden.
Simple Cashew Cheese
I first discovered nut cheese while studying in at the Raw Foundation Culinary Arts & Nutrition Institute. Our first day we enjoyed a plate of “cheeses” with dehydrated raw vegetable crackers and I was completely hooked. I would have never guessed that it was not dairy, we had an array of soft and hard cheeses to sample and I loved everyone.
