A beef bolognese by Ben the Butcher from Gambrel & Co, our neighborhood butcher. His bolognese is authentic and easy enough for the enthusiastic cooks out there like me.

Ben, the butcher will greet you with a smile as big as his shop. This hole in the wall brings you back to a simpler time, though I assure you, Ben is not simple. He is an over achiever and we are lucky to have him.

I made this one afternoon after school when it was too hot for cooking and the kids were begging for ice cream. It's a delicious treat, nutrient dense, and doesn't contain corn syrup, sugar, or hydrogenated solids like the store bought kind.

I love eggs! They're incredibly nutrient dense, nourishing to the thyroid, your metabolism, hormones, and fertility, but sometimes I just need a break. I know a healthy body needs variety, but I often get stuck on the same old recipes.

I made a banana bread with hazelnut flour, sweetened it with raw honey, and added unsweetened cocoa powder. Voila, I accidentally made a chocolate cake. We call it a cake because it was so moist and my kids loved it.

Detoxification is an absolute necessary part of our physiology. It should happen naturally. Unfortunately, most of us have gummed up all the detox pathways and sometimes we need to clear them up.

You know how near and dear to my heart raw honey is as a natural sweetener. I search far and wide for the best honey I can find, because I use it medicinally and with deep respect to the bees and the land.

Sometimes I just need something crunchy and salty to chew on.  They say when you have salty, crunchy cravings, it often means you want to "chew on something"  whereas those who crave sweet are often searching for comfort.

This is a delicious and easy recipe for those nights when you need a healthy dish quick, but you still want to impress. I like to serve it with a big green salad and an easy vinaigrette or some steamed vegetables.

Have you ever made a mistake where you flat out forgot you had an appointment or just forgot to be where you said you would be. I did that yesterday, only it was a yoga class that I was supposed to teach. Oops!
