Who remembers the vintage '70s commercial for Calgon bath soap, with the lady who has all these stressors like her boss, baby, traffic and dog, and pleads, "Calgon, take me away...." And then she's in a relaxing bubble bath and all is good in the world. Ok, well even if you haven't seen the ...
Vegan Cranberry-Orange Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
I have made these cookies many times, but I have only taught this recipe once. They are a tweak of one of my most popular recipes ever, Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. There's a funny story behind this version of the recipe. Several years ago, I arrived to teach a class at a private home in ...
Quinoa Granola Recipe
I have made granola multiple ways from traditional to grain-free, with peanut butter and a salted dark chocolate version, too. It's easy to make, which is great because good quality (key words) store-bought granola is super pricey and often too sweet for me. Two of the main reasons I cook as much ...
Apple Crumble Cake Recipe
The only professional sport I watch on TV is football. I used to follow tennis since that's the only sport I actually play, and I still occasionally watch a grand slam tournament. My maternal grandfather sat me down in front of the television one Saturday afternoon when I was about 7 ...
Grainless Banana Pancakes Recipe
I am a bit of a cynic when it comes to certain holidays, because I think they are commercialized and focused on buying gifts for people. I now understand why my mother always asked for "no fighting" or "help around the house" in lieu of gifts for holidays like Mother's Day. Every mother I know has ...
Anti-Microbial Spiced Chai Recipe
I promise this is the last time I will complain about the weather. But really, for LA, this rain and sub-60 degree temperatures are cramping my style. I want my money back! I am drinking more hot water and tea than ever to stay warm and relying on more cooked food than raw. I know that spices ...
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 ...
Sautéed Apple Power Bowl Recipe
I met my husband's grandmother, who is now 103 years old and going strong, about 30 years ago. She had a habit of drinking only hot water all day. No lemon or lime or juice added. Just plain hot water. I don't know what possessed me to follow her lead, but I did and I never looked back. I drink ...
Gingerbread Pancakes Recipe
Nothing says December, winter, or Christmas to me quite like gingerbread anything. I love, love, love all those warming spices - the more, the better. I find the combination of cinnamon, cloves, and ginger to be intoxicating. Every year I either teach or post a new gingerbread-flavored recipe. I ...
Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal Recipe
Last pumpkin recipe until next October - I swear! In reality, I made and shot this recipe last winter, but I felt that my readers wouldn't find a baked pumpkin oatmeal as appealing in January as they would in October. The truth is, I eat pumpkin all year long. I love pumpkin pancakes, oatmeal, ...
Pumpkin Spice Yerba Mate Latte
When I was at Trader Joe's a few weeks ago and spotted the first pumpkins of the season, I felt conflicted. Why rush it? I feel like school has barely gotten going. To me, pumpkins signify Halloween, which means Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we all know what comes after that! I ...
