I like cooking with halibut because it is a really dense, heavy fish in texture but the flavor is so light that it completely takes on whatever marinade or sauces you put with it. It is a more expensive fish but it is very nutritious, being high in B vitamins (including the hard to get B12), vitamin A, and the minerals phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Continue Reading →
Sauerkraut Coleslaw
Raw sauerkraut is incredibly healthy for the probiotics it contains but I normally find it to be quite unpleasant to eat. It has a very strong flavor that does not blend well with many other foods. I have tried it in several scenarios over the years, looking for a way to make it palatable and I have finally succeeded with this coleslaw. Continue Reading →
Hungarian Cucumber Salad
Food doesn’t always have to be perfectly healthy. Sometimes it is about remembering, sometimes it is about connecting. This was my favorite salad when I was a kid, in fact it was the only one that I willfully ate.

Chorizo Prawn Pasta
This is my all time favorite kind of food- messy, warm, nourishing and full of flavor. It is going to be bleak and rainy for the next few days so I wanted some healthy but hearty comfort food to pack for my lunches. Continue Reading →
Chickpea Carrot Salad Boats
Endive leaves are a perfect way to make anything into finger food. I like to fill them up with salad for healthy but delicious and easy to eat appetizers. Since they are a type of lettuce leaf this is basically salad within a salad. Continue Reading →
Greek Salad Skewers
I love Greek salad, it is one of my favorite dishes on a warm evening but it can be kind of awkward to eat, especially in restaurants when they leave huge cuts of vegetables to be fancy… although I think it is secret laziness at the root of that trend. I needed some snacky food for a girls evening and I wanted something that would be easy to eat but was still healthy and fresh. When you skewer a salad it turns into easily controllable finger food, Continue Reading →
Slow Cooker Bone Broth
This stuff is liquid gold for our insides. I like to make it in a slow cooker instead of on the stove because I find that less evaporates and you end up with more broth at the end. The bones add high levels of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, protein and collagen- all essential for our own bone, joint, skin and hair strength. The particular protein it contains is in the form of amino acids called proline and glycene. Continue Reading →
Salmon Yam Cakes
Living so close to the ocean, I never saw the point in buying canned salmon, we have large fillets available in every store. But then I saw the fanciest, most expensive canned salmon brand on sale- when there is a sale on something I have never tried I take it as a sign that the time is now. Continue Reading →
Moroccan Style Baked Chicken
The color of a fruit or vegetable can be quite indicative of the nutrients it contains. This recipe uses carrots, yams and fresh apricots. They all have a vibrant orange hue and are rich in beta-carotene, a substance that our body converts into vitamin A. This nutrient was the first named vitamin back in 1913 Continue Reading →
Bacon Turkey Sliders
I think it’s important not to deprive ourselves too much and get too fanatical about nutrition. Nothing beats a good burger on occasion. That being said, making them with high quality natural ingredients and adding in extra vegetables is the best way to go. Continue Reading →
