Budwig Diet Smoothie

Budwig Diet Smoothie by John Spottiswood

Someone turned me on to Dr. Johanna Budwig recently. I read a bit about her research and her diet online. While there isn't a lot of hard evidence behind it, she was definitely ahead of her time in recognizing the importance of good fats, and the harmful effects of bad fats, in our modern diets. She strongly encouraged the…

Polly's Crackers

Polly's Crackers by Heather Smith

I found this recipe in a "Handed Down" recipe book my mom gave me... This is a very simple snack to make for your family or to take along anywhere! It stays fresh for at least 3 weeks if kept in an airtight container or zip lock bag.

Toucan Mango Chai Smoothie with Fruit

Toucan Mango Chai Smoothie with Fruit by Robyn Savoie

I love Chai Tea. You can use any of the flavors from David Rio's collection for this but the Toucan Mango is the best for a tropical twist.

Recipe of the Week - Keeping It Simple - Easy Appetizers

Recipe of the Week - Keeping It Simple - Easy Appetizers by Dennis Kraus

(From the Appetizer Collection at emealsforyou.com) I seem to be on a mission to find easy but good food; maybe it is the unbelievable heat we have been having. Simple seems to have a special appeal when the thermometer reads in the high 90's. The neighbors came over last night for dinner and I was scratching my head to come up…

Maple Pecan Smoothie

Maple Pecan Smoothie by The Blender Girl

This scrumptious vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free smoothie really does taste like a delectable “maple pecan pie in a glass”. Those of you with nut allergies – my profound apologies. There is just no nutty equivalent! In the spirit of replicating my perfect bite of pecan pie I only used 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to…

Key Lime Smoothie

Key Lime Smoothie by Beth Roan

My daughter asked me if I could make her a Key Lime smoothie like I did the last time. Well, I had no recollection of making her one so needless to say I have no idea what I put in it. I held my breath when I gave it to her but she gave me two thumbs up on this one so I'm getting it in writing.

Halloween is right around the corner. That means the ghouls and goblins in your neighborhood will be looking for sweet treats. Here's a great snack that I came across to help cut those calories. The picture shows a whipped cream topping but I like to use Greek Vanilla Yogurt.

Quick and Easy Avocado Dip

Quick and Easy Avocado Dip by Sherwin Faden

I make this avocado dip often and serve with chips. I often serve a spicy salsa separately. The avocado dip is very light and refreshing. As there are only three ingredients in the recipe, the choice of tomato is very important. Tartness is controlled by how much lime juice you put in.

Raw Vegan Red Cabbage Salad

Raw Vegan Red Cabbage Salad by The Blender Girl

I love simple, raw, shredded salads, and this would be amongst my favorites. The first time I ate a version of this salad, it was made, and served to me, by a very proud 8 year old. That is how quick and easy it is. What I love about this cabbage salad is the vibrant colors. The luscious purple of the cabbage, and the fresh green…

Non-Alcoholic Sangria Punch

Non-Alcoholic Sangria Punch by The Blender Girl

For a zesty Summer drink, you just can’t go past this non alcoholic Sangria, which never fails to refresh and satisfy. There are a ton of wonderful non alcoholic Sangria recipes out there that use a variety of fruits. A lot of recipes use pears and apples. But I really like the tartness of citrus fruits – any excuse to use lemon and…
