Diving deeply into nutrient density and exploring how to replenish key nutrients that tend to run low in my diet has inspired me to tweak and alter recipes to boost their nutrient value, often with delicious results. This dip is currently in my fridge regularly (or some alteration thereof) and it’s become my go-to snack …
I nabbed this recipe from paleo Betty – it’s great for a hot summer day or a refreshing lunch al fresco! • 1 lb. shrimp, peeled & deveined • 4 limes • 1 small shallot, diced • 1 medium tomato, diced • 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced • 1/4 cup olive oil • 1 tsp. …
Sometimes I will go to an Asian grocery store or find a new vegetable that I have never heard of. Sometimes (especially if in a small Asian Market) I don’t even have the english name for it. I take it home and google the name until I get a sense of how to use it. …
I’m excited to try this recipe to satisfy my desire for **crunch**. Making your own gluten-free cracks is far cheaper and just as tasty as store bought!

When choosing salmon, always go wild caught – preferably Alaska, as it is swimming in the cleanest waters. Farmed salmon is fed pesticide laden, food dyed pellets and is not an environmentally …
Okay. I just finished making and eating this and I am one HAPPY camper! I added lotus root to this recipe to make it extra special. Lotus root is found in most Asian supermarkets for reasonable prices. It is a deeply symbolic food item with a rich cultural history (check it out). Holy basil is …
This recipe comes from a cooking class I took with Shauna James Ahern, more commonly known as the Gluten-free Girl. With fresh halibut coming into season, this simple recipe is an utterly fantastic way to celebrate a melt-in-your mouth filet of fresh halibut. 12 oz. fresh halibut* 1/3 cup forbidden black rice, ground into flour …
