Plantain Crepes (grain-free, nut-free)
I created this simple plantain crepe recipe one morning on a whim, out of a need to feed my family. The kids were starving, begging for something quick.

If you've been shopping at your local Farmer's Market lately you might have noticed some beautiful purplish-green leafy vegetables for sale called mustard greens. My bet is that you've also wondered what you could do with them if you were to purchase them! Mustard greens are spicy and slightly bitter. I like to add them to soups and stir-fries.
We've been picking strawberries lately. A lot of strawberries. Organic of course. Perfectly sweet, juicy, and ripe. So, naturally, we've been eating a lot of strawberries!
Looking for a simple, deeply nourishing meal you can pull together with what you have on hand? This Turkey Vegetable Quinoa Hash is your answer. It's the perfect weeknight dinner when you're short on time and long on random veggies needing love from the back of your fridge.
We’ve had a few hot days here in the Pacific Northwest lately! My children and I came up with this super simple slushie recipe using fresh watermelon—and they insisted I share it with you so you can make it too. Once you try this version, I hope you’re inspired to experiment with other types of fresh fruit as well.
Today I'm going to share with you a recipe from my brand new cookbook! This creamy "potato" salad is so full of flavor and packed with protein (from the salmon) and complex carbohydrates (from the yams) to keep you fueled throughout the day. I like to serve it over salad greens for an easy lunch. For those of you who don't eat fish, I also have a vegan variation using black beans which is equally as good.
Spring is in the air, at least for those of us on the West Coast! With the season’s fresh produce making its way to markets, I’ve been enjoying a simple dairy-free asparagus soup that I think you’re going to love. The creamy, herb-infused raw cashew-dill topping adds a delicious touch, but don’t worry, if you’re allergic to cashews, the soup is just as delightful without it! Did you know that asparagus is a powerhouse for gut health? It’s an excellent source of inulin, a type of prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. A thriving gut microbiome means better nutrient absorption, enhanced immunity, and protection against harmful pathogens.
I have to tell you that it's been over a decade since I've had any kind of donut but lately my kids were asking about them. I think they tried a gluten-free donut at a party years ago but that's been their only exposure. So I decided to invest in some safe non-stick donut pans and try making baked grain-free donuts.
Today I have a special Valentine's treat for you—a healthy recipe for raw white chocolate! This recipe uses just a few ingredients and is dairy-free. Traditional white chocolate usually contains sugar and milk solids, along with cacao butter. My recipe uses raw honey and raw cashew butter, as well as raw cacao butter.
Your grandmother was right…chicken soup is one of the best medicines when you are sick. In fact, you might want to consider gathering ingredients for homemade chicken soup before reaching for that over-the-counter cold medicine.
