Recently a reader emailed me to ask if I had heard of coconut sap. “Coconut sap” is a brilliant name for what I’ve been calling “coconut sugar.” Why do I prefer that term? Because the term, “sugar”, is associated with white refined sugar, which is very bad for you. White refined sugar contributes to all sorts…

Nutty Szechuan Gluten Free Rice Noodles with Veggies
Saturday evening we had a friend over for dinner. The last time she came for dinner I totally screwed up what I had made… Oops. She was a doll about it, and said that it was delicious, but I know that it wasn’t great, to say the least. So this time, I wanted to make…
Chicken Salad (egg-free, dairy-free)
As you may know, I am a big fan of The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook and Nourishing Meals dot com. Recently I was over there, reading Ali’s post, Chicken & Wild Rice Salad with Tangerines & Hazelnuts, which contains her method for cooking chicken. I have cooked chicken this way before, but accidentally simmered the…
How I make Ghee
Heat organic butter over low to medium heat, being careful not to burn, until all of the butter is melted. Put the pan in the freezer for about 4 minutes to solidify the foam (containing casein) on top. You may need to chill it a few minutes longer if you’re making a large amount. Pour…

I just can’t stop playing around with the ingredients and proportions =) Green Smoothies 2 cups packed fresh washed spinach 1 inch…
Cherry & Chocolate Hemp Shake
Some days (like today) I make Zoe and Ashley lunch, and they just aren’t in the mood to eat. So I blend them a smoothie or shake. Right now they are really into this little glass bottle that we are reusing. I think it came with 100% grape juice in it, but I can’t remember….
Pineapple & Coconut Quinoa
Around 3:30 my time today, someone on Twitter said that they were having pineapple and coconut rice for dinner. YUM. I decided to make a version for dinner myself, using quinoa in place of rice, since I avoid grains as much as possible. There are few times I have fallen so in love with a…
