While you’re planning your thanksgiving menu this year, give these recipes a whirl. I’ve served them for holiday meals in the past, and they always impress. Typical Thanksgiving recipes are gluten and/or dairy-heavy, and those are the two foods that cause the post-meal crash snooze fest, not the turkey! If you’re a sucker for stuffing, [...]

Autumn means winter squash! I love winter squash, like butternut (see this post for my butternut squash soup recipe), roasted acorn squash with coconut butter and cinnamon, smooth and creamy roasted delicata, and all things pumpkin: pumpkin curry, pumpkin soup, pumpkin muffins (vegan ones here), pumpkin bread, pumpkin pudding (vegan recipe for that here), pumpkin [...]
Pie: Usually not the healthiest thing around. Pie usually involves refined white flour, shortening (trans fatty acids), tons of white sugar, and a high calorie filling. Well, I am here to remake the traditional berry pie just in time for your 4th of July BBQ. Try this “paleo pie” made with seasonal berries, nuts, and [...]

Chicken Thighs with Honey-Mustard Sauce Ingredients 6 Organic Free-Range Chicken [...]

I made this the other day, and it was delicious and easy! Would be suitable for any time of year around the Bay Area, where it’s pretty cool all year round (and downright cold in the summer), but probably best for fall/winter-pre-spring anywhere else. This will feed 4 comfortably, or cook for yourself and your [...]

Healthy Apple Tart Ingredients: 2½ cups walnuts 1½ cups dates 3 green apples, such as Granny Smith 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp allspice 1/4 tsp ground [...]

I heart all things pumpkin: pumpkin curry, smoothies, breads, muffins, cookies, ice cream, pie, beer. Whoops on those last few, but I do enjoy some sweets from time to time. Moderation. Pumpkin is high in fiber, antioxidants, and the carotenoids that give it the orange color. All of the above, save for the beer, I’ve [...]

I adapted this recipe from The Garden of Eating, one of my favorite cookbooks for nourishing recipes. Packed with tons of good lifestyle info, too! This is a great recipe for Fall; it has yummy root vegetables, and the addition of kombu seaweed makes it high in the trace minerals that are so lacking in [...]

Autumn is just around the corner, beginning with the Fall equinox on September 22 this year. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, this season corresponds to the element of metal (acknowledgment) and represents the organs of the lungs, large intestine and the skin, meaning this is the ideal time to take special care of these organs.
