Happy St. Patrick’s Day! As we celebrate with green clothes and green beer, I wanted to talk about green food: powders, recipes, and leaves, of course. Eating more leafy greens and other vegetables is one of the easiest ways to improve your diet and your health. I strive to eat them every day. There are also […]

Peanut Butter Matcha Ball Recipe & Matcha Review
(I made this recipe using this organic matcha powder, which I received as a gift or at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.) As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I just discovered matcha and I love it. I have been using it to make near-daily matcha lattes, but I’ve also […]
Matcha Latte Recipe
I’m a very recent convert to matcha (and the matcha latte, which I’ll get to in a second), but converted I am. I like normal tea, but it’s not something I drink regularly. (I always have green tea and Throat Coat tea on hand, though, in case my throat gets scratchy or sore. They’re my go-tos.) […]
Brisk Bars Review
(I received this product as a gift or at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.) A good food bar is a handy little item. Being hungry usually means getting at least a little bit dull-minded, if not downright grumpy, so having a bar or two in your bag to get you […]
The (Accidentally) Best Tuna Cakes Recipe
My friend made some tuna cakes, and they were so delicious I had to make some for myself. She told me roughly how she did it, but after I started I realized I didn’t have the ingredients I needed. So I made some substitutions, and it turned out amazing. Here it is: the recipe for my accidentally best […]
A Delicious Alternative to Chocolate Fudge
I love chocolate fudge. It has long been a holiday favorite of mine, and my Mom makes it every year. However. (You see where this is going.) If you’ve never made fudge, you should know this: you basically put multiple forms of sugar into a pot and boil it NOT TOO LONG and then let it harden […]
Easy Horchata-like Protein Shake
I really like horchata. It’s a Mexican beverage (non-alcoholic) made with rice milk, cinnamon, and sugar and served over ice. Delicious. But that sugar factor means it’s not something I drink all that often. (If I’m going to have sugar, I’d rather eat sweets than drink them.) Something I DO drink often, however, is a smoothie. I […]
Fasting: Should You Do It?
I don’t really recommend fasting to anyone. But this is on my mind because I’ve just started a three-day fast. It’s not for the faint of heart, I can promise you that. But even if you’ve got the determination, should you do it? Is it worth it? I don’t go out of my way to recommend it, […]
Coconut Pumpkin Chia Pudding
I’m a huge fan of both chia seeds and pudding, and while I’m not pumpkin-spice-crazy I do enjoy a good homemade pumpkin latte or some pumpkin bread. Plus I’m a huge fan of the health benefits offered by pumpkin and squash and I try to put them on my plate as often as possible while […]
Apple Walnut Quinoa Flour Pancakes
I started in on breakfast quinoa, and now I just can’t stop. I made quinoa flour pancakes. Not only that–apple walnut quinoa flour pancakes. I love good pancakes, but I rarely eat them because, like muffins or donuts, it’s kind of like having cake for breakfast. Not such a healthy start. Although these taste decadent […]
