The unofficial last weekend of summer is upon us, and grills across the nation are firing up in preparation for three days of last hurrah feasting. As a healthy eater, the summer BBQ gathering has been known to cause me significant anxiety, since the spread rarely features foods that aren’t the color brown. I’ve learned over […]
Isn’t it a bummer that in the quest for healthy eating, the most indulgent foods are also the first ones to be stricken from the menu? For me, nothing says ‘indulgent’ quite like deep, dark, fudgy brownies warm from the oven—but since I do my best to maintain a clean diet, it’s been quite some time since I […]
While I’m a picky eater in some regards, I’m happy to say that I never met a vegetable I couldn’t love. Brussels sprouts? Bring ’em on. Mushrooms? The slimier the better. And as for kale, well, let’s just say that my love affair with the leafy green wonder knows no bounds. But even as a […]

But the holiday meal that really makes my heart race is Christmas breakfast. Nothing beats sating a hard-earned appetite while surrounded by the fruits of your labor—and by that I of course mean piles of shredded wrapping […]

Yet I’m still plagued with health issues that are directly related to sugar—specifically, candida overgrowth. I’ll spare you the gory details, but suffice to say that some seriously uncomfortable symptoms flare up if […]
Pizza is a powerful food. People will do anything to get it. Remember the ability of a pizza party to galvanize your 3rd grade class into completing whatever task was assigned? It’s also universally loved. I’m confident that I’ve never met someone who doesn’t like pizza.(Confident because I’d definitely remember that meeting, and I’d probably […]
Is there any food as universally loved as pizza? I think not. As much as my energy and moods have improved from removing grains from my diet, hardly a day goes by when I don’t dream about the satisfaction of sinking my teeth into a thick, gooey, melty slice of deep dish pepperoni. Memories of […]
