Gutsy By Nature
I can’t think of any more quintessentially American kid food than the “tater tot”; unfortunately the store bought ones are usually made with ingredients that are at best not health-promoting and at worst, downright disgusting and off limits for kids with allergies and food sensitivities. But with this recipe for sweet potato bacon tots, kids of […]
Fall is the season for soup, isn’t it? This recipe for a gingered pear and butternut squash soup embraces the produce of the season and is especially nourishing on cool days.

It seems that somebody declared mango THE flavor of the summer season this year and this paleo autoimmune friendly recipe for grilled pork chops with mango mint salsa is my entry into the madness! The difference is that I put a real fresh mango front and center rather than turning it into a highly processed […]
Spring is sprung here in the Washington, D.C. area! That means the seasonal farmer’s markets and roadside stands are opening up and featuring a bounty of early season vegetables, including asparagus, fennel, kale, and much more.
