A super simple fried rice recipe that is gluten-free and chicken-free, but is certainly not skimping on flavor! Last week I mentioned that I recently made the decision to try out a gluten-free diet.  I have been working with a functional medicine center for the past month, and in speaking with my nurse practitioner and reviewing [...]

A step-by-step pictorial on how to build The Best Veggie Sandwich using nearly everything but the kitchen sink. My sandwich cravings have been off the chart lately. A couple of years ago I heard "sandwich" and automatically thought it meant "unhealthy."  Boy was I wrong.  With the right ingredients, sandwiches are not only delicious, but [...]

Happy Wednesday, all!  I hope you survived St. Patty's Day.  Mine was less than eventful.  Some working.  Some eating.  Some blogging.  And some TV watching.  That was about the extent of my day.  But I'm not complaining.  The hangover is never worth it, am I right?
