Would you believe that with all the cooking I do, I rarely take the time to make myself lunch? Typical. A solo chop and stir often feels like too much work! But today I was craving something green and crunchy so I whipped up this one bowl party-in-your-mouth kale salad. It took three minutes (seriously) from […]

frozen bananas covered in chocolate, sprinkled with coconut and nuts, and served with chopsticks — how good does that sound? I tell you what, it tastes even better. This unique dessert a favorite of mine. Not only is it easy to make, it also keeps well in the freezer, making it the perfect “emergency dessert” […]

I recently teamed up with Physique57 to chat about their flexible On Demand workout classes. I love their virtual routines because you can do anywhere, anytime. But when it comes to at-home sweat sessions, staying motivated can be a real challenge. In this article that I wrote for the Physique57 blog, I share my top three tips for […]

The first time I whipped up these little goodies was for my daughter’s class. During my demonstration, all I had was a bowl and a spoon. I wanted to show the kids how easy it can be to make something healthy, but equally sweet and indulgent that didn’t require an oven. So, voila! These no-bake chocolate chip […]

Being a hostess can be hard work. Between the planning, shopping, and chopping – the one person that often gets squeezed is you. Trust me, I’ve been there. I’ve looked down at that pile of kitchen mess with crazy hair and sweat pants feeling stressed out because there were about five minutes left until the […]

All food tastes better when it looks pretty, don’t you agree? That’s why when I saw purple cauliflower at the store, I grabbed a head and started imagining the many ways I could use it to create a beautiful meal. Enter my raw cauliflower tabouli! With a healthified spin on the traditional dish, I paired […]
