For the longest time I thought radishes weren’t really for eating but rather best for suited for being cut into delicate, diamond-faceted garnishes. The idea of cooking radishes never crossed my mind, not to mention I had no idea how to cook radishes or where to start. But that was then and this is now. [...]
Since we are just entering peak raspberry season (mid-July through mid-September) I was inspired to make a Raspberry and Butter Leaf Salad drizzled with tart and tangy homemade raspberry vinaigrette. Raspberries are one of my favorite fruits not just for their taste but also becuase they are incredibly nutrient-dense and fiber rich. One cup of [...]
I recently picked up a copy of Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook, My Father’s Daughter, after a friend on facebook mentioned it had a recipe for Kale Chips. Since I am totally addicted to the incredibly delicious but rather pricey Rhythm Kale Chips I buy at my local Whole Foods Market I thought it would be an [...]
My son just reminded me it is time to start buying fireworks. This helpful little reminder immediately got me to thinking about red and white checkered tablecloths, those decorative miniature American flags on toothpicks and of course picnic party food that’s not only Clean Cuisine, but also universally pleasing…even for guests who are not [...]
Where I live in sunny south Florida grilling season is year-round and so I pretty much have a “Clean Cuisine” barbeque menu for all seasons (I’m especially fond of my Christmastime grilled crostini with spicy shrimp and zesty cranberry relish…mmmm.) But, with summer right around the corner, I figured I’d share the menu and recipes [...]
If you read my recent article about raw food benefits you’ll see why I’ve been trying to eat more raw foods these days (and no, I’m not a vegan nor a raw foodie, but I do try to weave in elements of a plant based raw eating diet into my own diet.) Because I love [...]
You’ll notice I use my Vita Mix blender in the video (by the way, if you collect raw food Vita Mix recipes you can add this dressing to your collection!) but any blender will do fine. You don’t necessarily need a high speed one for this recipe. This past summer we went to Atlantis in [...]
Living in south Florida I can never have too many fresh fruit salad recipes. I usually go to the grocery or to Costco on Fridays, buy a ton of fruit and then make a big batch of fruit salad Friday night. This way, we have a grab-and-go snack ready to eat all weekend (it usually [...]
We’re on vacation now (staying at the Atlantis in the Bahamas…so much fun!!) but just before we left I had made this salad at my moms house when we went over for dinner one night. I got the idea from the August issue of Bon Appetit magazine. The recipe was featured in the “Fast, Easy, Fresh” [...]
Every time I go to a sushi restaurant I order the seaweed salad, which is the perfect example of “clean eating” food! The seaweed salad is always very pricey though and then they give me these teeny tiny portions, so I never have enough to eat, which I find very frustrating. However, I went to my mom’s [...]
I realize a lot of people think eating a salad of any sort should score them big points in the healthy clean eating department. But, I’ve been around the salad block and I know salads aren’t always healthy, or “clean”. If you pile on the wrong sort of things (think globs of cheese, heavy cream-based dressings, processed [...]
With July 4th right around the corner, my fellow “clean eating” foodies are surely giving some thought as to what they will be eating. If there’s ever a time when food takes center stage, holidays are IT! But, for whatever reason, special days and holidays are notorious occasions for igniting out-of-control unhealthy food splurges. [...]
Summers in Florida scream for salad. Yesterday was no exception. Andy and I took our 9-year old son on the Palm Beach bike trail for a 2-hour afternoon Sunday ride. Although it was late in the afternoon it was still so stifling hot that I made the boys stop at the ocean so I could [...]
Fennel is one of those intimidating looking vegetables I would routinely pass right by in the produce section a few years back. I never had a clue what to do with it and the “licorice-like” flavor the Food Network chef’s all raved about didn’t really sound all that appetizing. But that was then. These days [...]
