This pie is as American as baseball and leisurely Sunday afternoons. I love to make it when guests come to visit, when it’s autumn, when we’re celebrating something, or during apple season in Fall. It was created as a hybrid of recipes by my friend Anthony Masiello, and when I first tried it, I was hooked . I like to add blueberries to it for a little extra sweetness. It tastes as good or better than any apple pie I’ve ever had. It’s not too sweet, and it’s just the right amount of apple-blueberry deliciousness to win us over every … Read the rest

Old-Fashioned Vanilla Smoothie
I’ve been feeling very vanilla lately, craving that old comfort flavor. I was always a fan of vanilla everything. (It’s the most popular flavor, after all!) So, a vanilla smoothie became the flavor of the day, and wow, was this a hit! It literally tastes like an old-fashioned vanilla shake, but it’s loaded with greens and WAAAYYY better! Yum! I hope you like it as much as I do! Cheers!

Spicy Peanut Slaw
This salad is quick, packed with nutrients, and best of all, it’s so delicious! Definitely one of my all-time favorites. It goes well with crunchy cabbage to make a flavorful slaw. The little spice at the end is a bonus and leaves you wanting more. It’s so good, you’ll almost forget it’s a salad!😃🌱

Crunchy Cinnamon Buckwheat Granola.
This granola is so easy to make and packs a powerful anti-inflammatory punch! It’s created as part of a meal to reverse diabetes from the experts at Masteringdiabetes.com, so it’s low fat and nutrient-dense. The cinnamon, ginger, and cloves add some intense flavor and major anti-oxidant capacity. We love it on smoothie bowls, as a topper for oatmeal, or when out hiking. Yum!

Heavenly Raw Chocolate “Cream” Pie (v, gf)
Best. Chocolate. Pie. EVER. Seriously, this pie is amazing! Luxurious and creamy (from avocado, not cream!), and well, chocolatey. Wow. And because it’s so rich, it’s very satisfying. Â I’ve been tweaking this recipe for a few years, trying to make it all whole foods with just the right amount of creamy and chocolate-ness. Yum.
Contrary to what the cooking shows and media tell us, even desserts and holidays matter – we never want to cause inflammation, and this pie is our answer to chocolate cravings, while still being good for us.
We serve it in our house when we have … Read the rest
Fabulous Baked Falafel
We’re obsessed with this recipe in our house! Falafels have long been a favorite food of ours, and this baked version does not disappoint! Made with fresh herbs and lots of spices, it’s rich in flavor and high in nutrient-content. They’re great on salads, in pitas, and just as they are. We love them with tzatziki (see below) or tahini sauce. Enjoy, and feel free to thank Anthony and Cathy Masiello for creating this flavorful dish!!!
