Growing up Catholic, I was not taught how to make challah, a traditional Jewish braided egg bread. I don't even remember the first time I tasted it. It could have been in college. But I did know how to make bread from scratch with yeast and I enjoyed the process. It seemed so magical ...

Grain-free Seed Crackers Recipe
I'm conflicted writing about a recipe that comes from a book about detoxing and cleansing since I do neither. But I do like Gwyneth Paltrow's taste in food and her style of cooking, so I knew I would find something delicious and healthy in her new book, The Clean Plate. Just to be upfront, GOOP ...
What are Shirataki Noodles and How do you Prepare Them?
As a cooking instructor and holistic health counselor, it's part of my job to keep up with food trends and diets. They are constantly changing and some can be a little extreme. I know I sound like a broken record, but I do not believe that there is only one best diet out there. The most important ...
Homemade Healthy Barbecue Sauce Recipe
Is "barbecue" a verb or a noun or both or what? I have said, "We're going to barbecue tonight." But not, "I'd love some good barbecue tonight." Although since my daughter started to go to school in Texas, I'm starting to get used to the barbecue lingo. And I do love me some barbecue! My first ...
How to Make Bone Broth
My readers and my students are very in the know when it comes to food trends, especially the healthy ones. So I’m sure you have all heard about bone broth and how it's taking over the world. It's the newest thing! It's revolutionary! So funny. Bone broth is no trend, but in fact something that ...
Bieler’s Broth: a Healing, Restorative Soup Recipe
It’s good to be home. I had the loveliest holiday break, but it’s good to be home. Even though I knew I was coming back to two weeks worth of mail to sift through, groceries to buy, meals to plan, piles of laundry to wash, it’s all good. As I’ve mentioned several times, I am not much on detox ...
How to Poach Chicken
There are a few basic techniques I think are worth knowing how to do, such as scrambling eggs, cooking rice, and making a versatile salad dressing among other things. In that category, I also include poaching chicken (if you eat chicken obviously.) I thought this was a good time to do a refresher ...
DIY Vanilla Extract and a Gifting Idea
Is it too early to start thinking about the Christmas holidays. Absolutely. Do I do any of my holiday gift buying before Labor Day? Under no circumstances. I might have my meal plan figured out for the week, but I'm the mom on Halloween morning looking for electrical tape to try and make a Bat ...
Whipped Coconut Cream Recipe
This has not turned into a dessert blog, I promise. I haven't really kept track of what I was posting here and I just realized I have been a little out of balance lately. I promise to post a few Mexican recipes next week in anticipation of Cinco de Mayo. But since I posted a picture of this ...
Unsweetened Slow Cooker Applesauce Recipe (oven version, too)
I don't know about you, but we love having both cranberry sauce and applesauce on Thanksgiving and always the homemade kind. It's my tradition every year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving to make a huge pot of both and my house smells amazing. When my kids see the huge pile of apple peels on the ...
