In its infinite wisdom, my daughter’s school scheduled the Daddy Daughter Dance on Valentine’s Day. So Paul and I won’t be going out on Thursday, but may take in a dinner and a movie at The National in Athens, GA if the movie at The Ciné is something I actually want to see. (All the [...]

It’s always a challenge to cook up healthy desserts for the holidays. That’s why I’m sharing this recipe for Chocolate Ginger Mousse from Chef Anthony Stewart, Executive Chef of the Pritikin Longevity Center + Spa. Regular chocolate mousse can tally up 8 grams of artery-clogging saturated fat, which is more saturated fat than many cheeseburgers! [...]
As a community leader at the Udi’s Gluten Free Community I’m always on the lookout for terrific gluten free recipes to share with our members. One of the biggest challenges people with celiacs or gluten food sensitivities have is finding delicious treats and desserts.

Most of us consider avocados a summer food to be eaten with carne asada or fish tacos. Since Avocados from Mexico are available at the grocery store year round, there’s no excuse not to use them in fall and winter cooking. Believe it or not, you can also use avocadoes in desserts like in this [...]
Christmas can be a real downer for those who are gluten free, especially kids who look forward to treats at holiday parties at school and at home. Even if you’re a mom who’s made the effort to make gluten free treats, you know how expensive many health food brands can be. That’s why I’m sharing [...]
This year I went a little nuts and bought a bunch of canned pumpkin purée – and then never made pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving! (Though I did make Eggless Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies for my daughter, Lucie.) If you’re like me and have a few cans of pumpkin lying around you can make Healthy Slow [...]
I’m not sure why, but Banana Pudding is a staple here in Georgia. You can get it at every barbecue restaurant and it’s usually served with Nilla Wafers. Not my thing (I’m more a tapioca fan), but my husband loves it. In this episode of Recipe Rehab, Chef Daniel Green and Chef Aida Mollenkamp compete [...]
It’s been a month since we’ve moved in and I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Most boxes are unpacked. I have a Georgia drivers license. And the kids are enrolled for the next school year. However, there’s still so much to do, which explains why I haven’t been posting [...]

Every school day when it’s hot out, the first thing my son, Nathan, asks after I pick him up is, “Can we go out for ice cream?” Inevitably the answer is no. Instead, I prefer that my kids cool down with a healthy snack, like yogurt parfaits. To make Berry & Yogurt parfaits, just layer [...]
For this month’s Secret Recipe Club assignment, I was partnered with Jayasri of Samayalarai – Cooking is Divine. Jayasri’s Indian and lives in the UK, and likes to cook up traditional dishes as well as try out Western ones. I had a tough time choosing a recipe because I wanted to cook up an Indian [...]
Just because you eat gluten free, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a Valentine’s Day dessert. This decadent treat comes from the new cookbook, Straight from the Heart, by Taos chef and owner of Graham’s Grille, Lesley B. Fay. Her 224-page cookbook includes recipes for appetizers, soups, salads and dressings, sandwiches, entrees and desserts; butters and [...]
There hasn’t been a good foodie movie since Julie and Julia came out in 2009. (Well, that was half of a good foodie movie as the parts with the blogger Julie were annoying.) Now we have the movie, Toast: The Story of a Boy’s Hunger, based on food writer, Nigel Slater’s book of the same [...]
