One of my snacks I bring along on a flight; a bag of steamed kale. My fave!

I had to implement my newest Kitchen Toy over the weekend- the ‘ice cream’ maker attachment for my Kitchen Aid Mixer! Granted, most sorbet recipes tell you that you need simple syrup or cane sugar…and it’s just not true. I made peach sorbet with nothing but.. peaches! -Freeze the ice cream bowl as per the […]

A lovely, beautiful and simple dish! Saute sweet, white onions in olive oil in a heavy bottom pot for about 10 minutes until browned; then add chopped tomato and basil: Let simmer for 10', while the oven preheats to 350. Brush sea bass fillets with olive oil, then place on top of tomato mixture in […]

All oils are not created equal, and even within one specific type of oil, like olive, there are still many variations. The first PALEO rule of thumb when it comes to oils is that our choices include olive, walnut, avocado, coconut and flaxseed.  (Fish oil is also an important part of The Paleo Diet, but […]

As with many other 'baby' versions of fruits & veg, they were more delicate and almost sweet compared to their larger (and sometimes tougher) counterparts, […]

I've posted about this topic before, but it's a hot topic….No, gluten free does NOT = Paleo, first and foremost. I am thrilled at the fact that gluten-free is becoming more and more easy to come by, which illustrates the fact that at least manufacturers are recognizing that consuming gluten, for ANYONE who happens to be human, […]

A client of mine, who has a lovely lemon tree outside her window, gave me a gift- a HUGE LEMON that we'd been coveting every time I'm at her house! She picked it and gave it to me, and it is, indeed, the biggest lemon I've ever seen (shown next to a tablespoon for reference…) […]
