Who controls the health in your home?

So I was listening to the radio the other day and something caught my attention. I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since. The man (whose name I honestly didn’t catch as I wish I could give him credit!) was commenting on the health and obesity crisis in our communities today […]

Smoothie Prep!

… or “It’s Farmers’ Market day and I’m also going grocery shopping this weekend!” If you’re like me, half the fun of going to the Farmers’ Market is just finding out what new treats are arriving that week. Will THIS be the week fresh blueberries start? OOH! The first squash of the season! Finally… TOMATOES! […]

Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

So when I’m trying to come up with tasty treats, the trick is to keep them healthy, too. Enter these muffins. Made with a minimum of ingredients and everything nice and clean, I feel good about eating them and letting my family gobble them up. Just like my other muffin recipes, these use oats […]

Rhubarb Sauce

Strolling around your local farmer’s market during the spring will invariably include the options of various greens, ramps, and rhubarb. Rhubarb? Yes, rhubarb is one of my favorite treats of the spring and I eagerly grab a bunch as soon as the fresh crop appears. Maybe you’re curious/confused about this green/red vegetable/fruit that’s tart/tangy. Maybe […]

Blueberry Zucchini Oat Muffins

These sweet treats truly are special. Very clean, with ground oatmeal instead of flour, honey and applesauce instead of sugar, and blueberries bursting with every bite – what’s not to love?

Broth Bowl

So there I was at our local chain restaurant… and I saw they had broth bowls. With noodles and chicken. Of course I had to order one. It was delicious, I have to say. But as I enjoyed it I thought to myself, “Beth, you can totally make this yourself!” And so I did. The […]

Turkey Black Bean Sloppy Joes

Everyone loves a good sloppy joe! But what if you are feeling something a bit more modern, a bit healthier? This recipe is a new twist on that traditional favorite to keep our inner child happy, with just enough tweaks to keep our adult sensibilities thinking fit! The classic joe is basically ground beef with […]

Ham, Lentil and Potato Soup

Yeah! More soup! If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know what a fan of homemade soups I am. Fresh ingredients and a nice soup bone in my crockpot… I’m in heaven! (Check out my recent post on bone broth and vegetable beef soup!) Some of the very best soups are some of […]

Bone Broth…or, The Key to Great Vegetable Soup!

If you want to make the very richest soup, you gotta make your own bone broth. You can use it for your weekly food prep when you make your rice and quinoa instead of plain old water, too!
