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 […]

One look at this double chocolate cake and you just want to eat it, right? Well, you kinda can because this chocolate cake tastes as devilishly naughty as it looks, but has none of the bad stuff! Brought to you by Naturally Sassy‘s kitchen, this one’s a winner. It’s vegetarian, totally gluten-free, and only contains […]

Life’s little pleasures lie in the simplest of things, like chocolate. These raw chocolate macaroons are a great kids party food, after school snack, or a sneaky treat when you’re craving something sweet. I am even filing these goodies for my Passover menu plans! Karin, mom and nutritionist, uses coconut sugar which ranks lower on the […]

I’m not sure if my love of Chôm Chôm started with love at first sight or love at first bite. Perched atop a quaint SoHo street in Hong Kong, this little gem is always buzzing. The food (and drinks) are outstanding and there are several gluten and grain-free dishes on their menu. Chôm Chôm’s Cha Ca Hanoi is inspired […]

Karin makes these bites as a healthy alternative for kids party food and has more fantastic ideas for healthified kids parties in her great ebook. In […]

I can’t say I always sprout my hummus but when I do have the time it’s a good way to make chickpeas more nutritious and digestible. The consistency and flavor of sprouted hummus feels more real, raw and earthy, and if you’ve never tried sprouting, it’s kind of fun to watch your chickpeas come alive. Serve this with […]

When I first saw these on Lisa’s website I knew I had to make them and share them with you. Because who doesn’t love a doughnut? This week, as we celebrate Chanukah, I am baking up a doughnut storm but you certainly don’t need a holiday excuse to whip up a batch of these gluten-free […]

As a mom and a cook I love leftovers. There’s nothing worse than throwing away perfectly good food, and I love saving time in the kitchen the next day. Why shop and re-create when you have perfectly good staples right in front of you? Unfortunately my brood don’t share my enthusiasm. In fact, they’ve started lobbying for […]
