Between the finches visiting our bird feeders and the trees starting to blossom, spring is certainly in the air here in northeastern Georgia. We’ve even managed to eat a couple of dinners outside on the deck, though we had to wear light jackets and sweaters. Even though it’s warming up, there’s never a bad time [...]

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 I promised a few days ago in my post for Gluten Free Asian Cobb Salad, here’s another San-J recipe by Carol Kicinski of Simply Gluten Free. This would be a terrific gluten free dish for Meatless Monday as it’s vegetarian and vegan friendly. Also, even though Carol’s directions are to serve it hot, I bet [...]

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Meatless Monday post. Frankly, they’re a bit of a challenge since I usually cook around some sort of animal protein I can find in my freezer like venison or fish. Even so, it’s not much of a challenge for anyone to substitute slices of firm tofu instead [...]

After my husband, Paul, got laid off last June, we stopped eating out to cut back on expenses. Even going out to our local (and reasonably priced) Asian restaurant was out of the question. I missed having my favorite Chinese, Vietnamese and Tai dishes, especially knowing how hard it was to replicate those dishes at [...]

Meatless Monday has become the new norm in many schools and homes. After all, it’s a great way to get kids to eat their veggies. However, like many moms, I’m concerned that if I cook up a meatless dish my kids won’t get enough protein to keep them full and satisfied. One way around that is [...]

With warmer weather here – or nearly so – my thoughts turn to cooling down with a yummy chocolate shake. However, like other people with food sensitivities to dairy and sugar, I have to forgo ice cream shakes. So I created this chocolate shake made with tofu and sweetened with stevia for those who want some [...]

In my previous salad dressing post, I shared recipes for Creamy Italian and Dill and Lime salad dressings. Today recipes are for Sundried Tomato, Basil and Balsamic Vinegar salad dressing and Spicy Ginger Sesame salad dressing.

Since I’ve discovered that I have food sensitivities, the biggest challenge has been salad dressings! Most store bought salad dressings contain sugar, even the more natural ones you find at the health food store. After balsamic vinegar and olive oil got too boring, I decided to make my own salad dressing recipes using soft tofu. [...]

The frustrating thing about my food sensitivities has been the lack of ready made desserts. I have a sweet tooth and love a piece of chocolate after a meal. Unfortunately, almost all commercially made chocolate bars are made with sugar or cane sugar, which is on my “avoid this” list. There are a few companies [...]
