If there’s one piece of equipment that gets a lot of use in our kitchen it would be our Vitamix. I make a Pregnancy Smoothie every day, my husband makes a Crazy Healthy Smoothie each morning and Chloe an Avocado Shake at least twice a week. At first when Gemma was born we would try to hold her when we turned it on as…

“I love this recipe because it is sweet and delicious and doesn’t have any chemicals or added sugars. I buy all the ingredients online pretty easily and I make sure they are all single-ingredient options. For example, the coconut water is only coconut water, the hemp protein powder only contains hemp. You could probably use…

11.23.10 The Right Stuff(ing) photo by Sarah Shatz for Food52 Stuffing! What can I say? If you’re not still eating at your mother’s table, you just want to recreate her stuffing recipe and aren’t really interested in anything different. Right? Well, on the off chance that there is someone out there willing to try something…

Oh yeah, I went there. Again. I made this cake for my mum’s party, so fingers crossed that her friends like it. I’m also saving a piece as my secret santa gift for a party tomorrow night. Double fingers crossed. Or… fingers crossed on both hands; that’s more comfortable. I am still on my Mariah…

Raw pasta is so satisfying. You think you won’t be full after eating it, but you always are! Well, maybe I shouldn’t use the word “full” in it’s conventional way. I mean you feel like you don’t need to eat anything else. You feel satisfied! Probably because of all the fiber and water in veggies,…

My doctor’s appointment went well yesterday. After doing a physical exam (twisting and bending my back all around and also checking the back bones), the doc thinks that my bones and spinal discs are fine, but it is probably an aggravated sciatic nerve (given the location of the pain). Apparently this is fairly common and…

My goal was to pack as many healthy ingredients in as possible. I ended up adding walnuts, almonds, pecans, flax, chia, hemp, pure maple syrup, fine grain sea salt, pure vanilla extract, and a touch of coconut oil for an ultra silky feel. You can’t tell by the photo how many amazing ingredients are lurking…

anniefeldman, I sent you a message but haven’t received a response, so I’m posting here as well. I hope to test this within the next 24 hours, but am concerned that there may be an error in the amount of liquid in the recipe. For regular steel cut oats, which I eat just about every…

Happy Hump Day! Thursday! Apparently I don’t know what day it is!

This totals $280 to be donated to Haiti. However…we also received an anonymous…

Holy mega chocolate-peanut butter-gasms. This is THE Ultimate Epic Healthy Cake (notice the official-looking capitalization there). I set out to make one cake to rule them all, and I think I succeeded. But you should be the judge. Make the recipe and tell me what you think. I would apologize for all the ice cream cakes…

Yum. Couldn’t stop eating this. Jack’s lucky I have some semblance of self control because he got a [small] bowl when he came over last night. I absolutely LOVE buckwheat noodles and every time I make them I wonder why I don’t do it more often. They are terrific for you as well, lots of…

As I write this, I can hear the steady thud of logs being stacked in our screened-in porch. We’re expecting a major snowstorm in these parts and that requires preparation. With a fire in the hearth and soup on the stove, coziness is assured. G does firewood; I do soup. Between us, we get it…
