Healthy Apple Crisp

A healthy and delicious apple crisp!

Homemade Chicken Stock

Don’t buy packaged chicken broth. It’s full of sodium, plus it’s so easy to make your own at home… one that tastes better and is less expensive. If you’re anything like me, making homemade broth especially without bouillons, seems intimidating. However, it’s actually super easy  to make and it’s far more nutritious. This recipe will be necessary for a few…

Steamed Broccoli with Pine Nuts

“Eat your broccoli; it’s good for you.” I was a weird little kid so my mom didn’t really have to say that to me, ever. I was too busy pretending to be a Brachiosaurus dinosaur  that had to chomp all the tops off of the trees (more commonly known as broccoli florets). Weird, but healthy. Right. So I’m…

Paleo Granola!

My friend gave me this recipe from paleotable.com over the summer, because a bunch of us were trying to eat ‘paleo’ and I was getting so sick of eggs and meat for breakfast.  Most other breakfast options are wheat and dairy, but not this granola.

Beat mashed banana with…

Panzanella (A New Twist on Salad)

Salad.  It can get boring. Especially if you have it everyday of the week. Sometimes, you just need an interestingly delicious lunch to get you through the workday. Panzanella is a twist on a salad that learned from a chef in Venice. Essentially a salad without the lettuce. This recipe is full of fiber and…

Pecan Crust Pumpkin Pie

Fall is my all time favorite season for food eating. That being said, it’s the easiest season to gain 100 pounds in one day. Exaggerations aside, I sought out to create a  healthy pumpkin pie that still tastes good. And I think I’ve finally done it…….  for now. Pecan Crust Pumpkin Pie (no flour, sugar, or…
