Another detox dish! I forgot how wonderfully creative my cooking can get when I have to navigate a thin line of options. This dish takes all of 10 minutes to whip up. Serves 2 for a detox or 4 if you pair it with a salad and a crusty loaf of bread. Ingredients: Butternut squash cut in…

Cauliflower & Squash Sauté
I’m showcasing detox dishes this week. Tonight’s dish would comfortably serve 4 as a side dish but for the detox, this is only enough for 2. It’s all about loads of tasty fiber! I personally like the skin of acorn squash (and that’s extra fiber!) but you can take it off if you are not a fan….
Rosemary Pickles
In any good detox, you need some “snacks”. Now, you can just buy any old jar of pickles and I probably would have done that for this detox myself if I hadn’t randomly found “pickling cucumbers” at a roadside stand in Murphy, NC when I was exploring with my dog. Plus, typical pickling brine includes…
Detox Redux
I’ve been silent for a while….that’s because I moved across the country, started a new job, and bought a house. I’ve been busy settling in. The problem with having so many life changes at one time, it’s easy to slip into bad habits. Like eating ice cream and watching the latest season of The Walking…
Carrot Zucchini Soup
I don’t like zucchinis. Not even a little bit. But they are good for you and I get them from my CSA whether I want them or not. Thus, I must find ways to hide them in other things, like this carrot based soup! Ingredients: 1 white onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves 1 Tbl canola…
Wine-glazed Apricots
Stonefruits are in season and I received my first batch of fresh apricots in my CSA box this week. It was soooooo hard to not just eat them all right then and there. But I resisted…mainly because there were also nectarines in the box and those were already soft and juicy-ripe-get-in-your-mouth-right-now. The apricots had to…
Cheddar Chia Crackers
I was watching The Great British Baking Show recently and wondering why on earth do the American cooking competitions never have the “ordinary” items like they do on this show? It’s most fascinating to watch! The challenges are hard, but the items they have to produce are actually quite mundane. Such as crackers. Have you seen…
Black Bean Pasta with Summer Squash
Looking for something a little different for pasta night? There are so many brands of bean or lentil based pastas out there, a protein boost without the meat or faux-meat substitute! This recipe is vegan and the black bean pasta used was gluten-free. Ingredients: Black bean pasta 4 cloves garlic minced 1/2 lb of summer…
Crazy Brazil Nuts
Whenever I get a mixed bag of nuts in the shell, my least favorite is the Brazil nut. But I still eat it. Why? It’s kind of a famous nut for being able to help protect the rainforest. And I want to help protect the rainforest. Eating the Brazil nut is an easy and nutritious way…
