Where’s the sausage, sauerkraut and beer? It’s October for goodness sake! Aren’t you in the mood for comfort food? Oktoberfest style! Time to celebrate together. You don’t have to be German. Just grab a couple friends and a six pack of your favorite craft or German beer…and let’s make a traditional, but slightly “better-for- you” version […]
Warm Spinach Salad with Apples and Feta Dressing
Gosh, I love warm spinach salads. How about you? This warm spinach salad is super-duper easy to make and a great side dish to any meat entrée. Mr. E and I already made it twice this month and I’m making it one more time for you! Knowing it was going to be one of those […]
My Favorite Low Glycemic Snacks
When I first heard about low glycemic eating, it sounded like I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain weight. Big eye roll. Sorry, wish it was true. It’s not. BUT…..the reason lower glycemic eating is important for those of us in peri-menopause and beyond is because our body begins to process carbohydrates differently […]

Is it hot by you? Man, its super hot here in Southern California. Today its a steamy 95 + so Eric and I been living on salads this week. Even too hot for the BBQ. Here’s my all time FAV salad…. I have been making this Broccoli Lentil Salad for years. The original recipe is […]

Lemon-Thyme Cornbread

If anything, those two ingredients sure combine for a nice-smelling loaf of bread. And, I was also surprised that it tasted wonderful. I am a major […]
Roasted Tomato, Pepper and Corn Chowder
Oh summer… don’t go away. I’m a grilled vegetable fanatic and summer means…tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, potatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, corn. And it also means BBQ! Is there any veggie you can’t grill? I don’t think so. Just throw one to me and I’ll come up with a way. If you’ve never tried grilled vegetables then […]
Simple Summer Snack
My favorite season continues – picking season! And, my tomatoes continue to abound. That’s why I was psyched when Heidi suggested I try this recipe. It was a chance to marry two of my favorite foods – tomatoes and cottage cheese. Simple right? And, the perfecto snack for a woman in her 40’s who was […]
Golden Pico de Gallo with Chips
Golden Pico de Gallo is almost too pretty to eat. Definitely food art. I love any recipe that has lots of colors to tantalize the eyes and the taste buds. The yellow tomatoes and golden colored bell peppers are plentiful in the grocery stores right now. Plus, they are fun to use. The cucumbers and […]
Caprese Orzo Summer Salad
I love… love…love home-grown tomatoes! I plant my own tomato starters in early March and wait for the heat of summer to turn those little red balls of tomato-y goodness into delicious, sugary treats. In fact, those cherry tomatoes rarely make it into the house. Vine-ripe and fresh picked, who can stop eating after […]
