Back in my New York City college days my friends and I used to walk 20 blocks to line up for the most amazing giant carrot muffins. They were way too good and way too bad for you all at the same time. I’ve since given up anything with copious amounts of sugar and any […]

Eggs and vegetables are my all-time favorite breakfast combo. Since I’m always rushing to get out the door in the morning (but refuse to compromise with a to-go muffin), I’ve devised this simple one-pan breakfast. The veggies remind me of a potato hash, but this version packs a nutritious punch without the starchy carbs that […]

Are you pressed for time in the mornings? Great meals don’t have to be complicated or involve a lot of prep.  Sometimes there’s nothing better than upgrading store bought ingredients and assembling them with flair and love. Enter my healthy yogurt and granola breakfast parfait. To save time, prepare it before you go to bed […]

Have you eaten too much over the holiday? The best way to get back on track is to, well, get right back on track. Stock your fridge with greens and apples, lemons and fresh herbs to make this refreshing and cleansing green juice. You don’t have to be on an all-juice cleanse to reap the […]

Gooey, flavorful, light and satisfying. Need I say more? The original inspiration for this recipe came from one of my visits to Canyon Ranch. They serve their version of this bread every morning at their rocking breakfast buffet (I don’t recommend eating this daily, it’s extremely hard to resist). Here is my spiced up gluten-free […]
