Since starting my health journey, I’ve read several diet books, articles and cook books looking for inspiration. To be honest, I have no idea what the right way to eat is. There may not be one. For now, I’m just trying out what may be right for me. So far, I’ve been avoiding grains, legumes,…

Creamy (Vegan) Cilantro Lime Dressing Makes My World Go Round
There’s nothing like a fantastic recipe that comes out of necessity or just not having a whole lot in the fridge. Since we are leaving town tomorrow, there’s slim pickings for lunch. But, I’ve always got lettuce or greens on hand. A simple salad with a knockout dressing does the trick. And this dressing was…

No Dairy Life: Butternut Squash Soup with Maple Sage Walnuts
Since having a baby, I’ve experienced so many amazing, difficult, and some times disgusting, new things. From the very beginning, my son Charlie was what I will call a “leaky baby.” He spent hours crying, spitting up, and pooping so forcefully it would escape even the most seemingly secure diapers. My husband and I were…
