Years ago I heard about making “rice” out of cauliflower. My first thought was why? Why would I want to make rice out of cauliflower when I could make rice out of rice? I was already making an awesome cauliflower mash that had replaced mashed potatoes, mostly because I didn’t really like potatoes. But I […]
I was at Costco yesterday picking up some food items when I came across a new product, edamame spaghetti. This was non-gmo, organic, and even Fair Trade sourced. The numbers looked good with 25 gms of protein, 11 gms of carb, and 11 gms of fiber per serving. The only ingredient was edamame – green […]
Every morning I make a green smoothie to start the day for Ellen and myself. We started doing this after reading Terry Wahl’s book “The Wahl’s Protocol”. Dr. Wahl was able to beat MS using paleo diet principals and functional medicine. She did all the standard medical protocols for MS and ended up a complete […]
The holidays are in full swing, and along with that swing comes a lot of stress. It is not a coincidence that holiday season is also cold and flu season. This time of year takes down our immune system for many different reasons. And most of those reasons are can be met head on and […]
Mayonnaise defies the natural order, much like life itself. Normally oil and water do not mix, but mayonnaise forms an emulsion that keeps the oil dispersed in the water for a long time.

Doughnuts joyfully embrace their role as one of the most toxic fresh foods on the planet. Nobody in his or her right mind even pretends that eating a doughnut is good for you on any level. Doughnuts are basically bleached white flour, sugar, and rancid oil – yum. Why oh why do they taste […]
Do you like to crunch? I know for Ellen, it isn’t a full meal unless there is something crunchy with the meal. I am not talking about celery. Yes, it is crunchy and crunch lovers trying to be healthy try really hard to convince themselves that celery is meeting their crunch need. But deep down […]
Every year the children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren of my maternal grandmother get together for a Thanksgiving feast. The location of the feast rotates around between the various households with this year’s feast appearing at my mother’s house. Since she is 85 years old my sisters decided that she needed help with the feast […]
I love pizza. The hot oozing melted cheese, the run-down-your-face spicy meat juices, the yummy crust – it is all good. I have one problem though – my body does not like pizza ingredients. The essence of pizza is bread dough and cheese. Everything else is flexible. And it is precisely the bread dough and […]
