I’ve had a recipe for macadamia nut cheese bookmarked for about a year, but never got around to making it. I was going to make it tonight, but when I pulled it up – I realized that it instructs you to leave the nuts in a warm, dark spot for more than 24 hours. Hmmm. [...]
I was in Moab last weekend running a half marathon to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and stumbled upon a great little natural cafe on Main Street – Love Muffin Cafe. My mom and I had a fabulous baked tofu sandwich with vegetables and ginger but what really struck my eye was the red [...]

It’s snowing out. I’m a wimp about driving in the snow. And I haven’t been to the grocery store in a week and the refrigerator is getting low. So I decided to skimp what I had together to make a hearty vegetable pasta topped with my tried and trusted friend, cashew cream sauce. Everyone knows how [...]
You may have already read my post on Green Smoothies. I’ve been experimenting with them every week and just tried one that had to be shared. If you’re in the mood for a decadent, yet healthy treat – you can’t go wrong with this one.
It may not be much to look at, but you can [...]
I’m pretty much like everyone else – when the cold weather rolls in to town, so do the soups. There’s nothing better to stay warm than a flavorful, hearty bowl of soup. For this one, I had a bunch of sweet peppers that needed to be used, so they became a highlight to the soup [...]
I served these as appetizers at a charity event last weekend. They were excellent paired with a Sauvignon Blanc. The fresh vegetables and rice noodles provide texture while the cilantro and thai basil provide the major flavor notes. But the roll is still just a base for the real star of this meal - the hoisin sauce. [...]
