Boy, oh boy, am I excited to share a new recipe with you. After my holiday season of pure decadence, I’m back on my all vegan train (and already feel so much better!). My good friend and chef extraordinaire, Maili Halme, came up with the most yummy kale salad. Oh dear heavens is it ever… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Vegan Kale Salad
Beating Cancer with Nutrition
A Visit from the Yo-Yo Squad
This holiday season was been pretty f-bomb mahhhhvelous, from every perspective: the parties, the people, the food, the beverages…most of all for being healthy enough to enjoy all of it (Silver Lining). The only downside to this holiday season is the 7 lbs I packed on. UGH. Now, however, it’s time to cut back. To… Continue reading A Visit from the Yo-Yo Squad
Friday's Fixin's: Cream of Broccoli Soup (Vegan Style!)
After this holiday season of eating and drinking and indulging (including another batch of Maggie’s Pineapple Casserole), it’s time to jump back on the vegan wagon and pull out the fire hose of green juice (which equates to a ginormous glass – sometimes two – every day). Recently, I came across an amazing food blog… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Cream of Broccoli Soup (Vegan Style!)
Fixin's Special: Christmas Morning Breakfast
We have wonderful traditions every Christmas. We get up in the morning (not before the Curious George alarm clock says 7:00 by the way!) and check under the tree to see if Santa has come. Most years, he has indeed come and gone, leaving beautiful presents and cookie crumbs in his wake. There is nothing… Continue reading Fixin's Special: Christmas Morning Breakfast
Friday's Fixin's: Vegan Chili
With all of the carbs and sugar (kind of one-in-the-same) readily available and accessible and irresistible this time of the year, I find myself sugared out. Though I must admit to loving it, the love is NOT reciprocated. All I get in return are obscenely ridiculous hot flashes, insomnia, weight gain, inflammation, and let’s add… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Vegan Chili
Friday's Fixin's: Artichoke Spread
Last night, I went to a dinner party and managed to pretty much gorge myself on appetizers. Specifically, Artichoke Spread from my adorable and talented friend, Chef Maili. Yumma. Yumma. Yumma. When I found out how healthy it is, well, then, I was enticed to have one more. And another. It was one of those kind… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Artichoke Spread
Friday's Fixin's: Mexican Brunch
Since starting the drug tamoxifen (to keep me in menopause courtesy of my estrogen positive FBC), I am nauseous everyday until about noon. The Silver Lining is that at noon, like clockwork, I am not nauseous anymore. The other Silver Lining is that after having been sick as snot for months on end, I know how to be… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Mexican Brunch
Friday's Fixin's: Silver Lined Comfort Food
After this past month’s wonderful adventures and a very decadent Thanksgiving (think: Maggie’ Pineapple Casserole, I’m not surprised that I have packed on a few extra pounds. The only thing is that in this post-FBC period, yo-yo = no-no.
Friday’s Fixin’s: Maggie’s Escalloped Pineapple
Today’s recipe is an old family delicacy, conceived of by my dear Aunt Maggie. It took me years and years to try it because, quite frankly, I don’t like pineapples. At all. I still don’t, in fact…except in this recipe.
Friday's Fixin's: The Sauce
A friend recently told me about her favorite recipe called: “The Sauce.” “The Sauce?” I asked. She said it’s the most amazing and incredible and easy recipe you could ever imagine and people loooooooove it. And it’s only three ingredients (yes, three!). Well, with that endorsement, clearly I didn’t have a choice about trying it. Boy,… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: The Sauce
