A few years ago my friend Susi Dokken taught me how to make her melt-in-your-mouth gluten-free plum torte. So, when I had summer peaches laying around I just swapped the plums for the peaches and dare I say… I might be in love with this peach cake even more?? Thanks to a lovely amount of […]

I should have named this kid-friendly salad the “happy mom salad.” I did cartwheels when my kids tried this and gobbled up their vegetables. The dressing is slightly sweet and perfectly suited for a kid’s palate. The thick sauce is bright orange in color, creamy, and bursting with flavor. I keep this, and my cashew dressing, […]

Tacos used to be off limits for me because of their highly processed bases and sauces. That is, until now. What have I been missing all this time? This recipe started as a spin on my Beef Lettuce Cups and turned into a medley of taco-spiced beef-and-vegetables-meets-summer-taco in a flash of creativity. I nibbled on this invention […]

A big thanks to Saskia from Naturally Sassy for sharing this outstanding Kale Salad! It’s packed with healthy ingredients: creamy cubes of avocado, caramelized sweet potato wedges, pomegranate seeds, maple roasted walnuts, and an amazing tahini-tamari dressing. Raw crunchy kale hardly seems appetizing, but with a little bit of magic, it really becomes delicious. The key to […]

I watched the Food Network’s Bobby Flay in action over the summer and he gave me an ingenious way of using Brussels sprouts — RAW! Brussels sprouts often get a bad wrap, but they’re one of the most nutritious cruciferous veggies on the planet, rich in cancer-fighting phytonutrients, vitamin C and vitamin K. My Shaved Brussels Sprout Slaw Salad with […]

Life Cafe was epic. Five to ten years ago, before Hong Kong inevitably caught up with the undeniable trend of clean eating, Life Cafe was the only vegetarian restaurant where you could get a good salad. I was a regular and I always ordered the same thing: Life Salad, dressing on the side. And now […]

Move over junk food, these craveable cauliflower bites may just take the place of loaded cheesy snacks. Made with just cauliflower, seasoning and cheese, these come out so crispy and flavorful I’d probably recommend doubling the recipe. Here’s a peek into the process: First, I steam the cauliflower briefly so it’s soft enough to smash […]

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 […]
