…..One of my "Cast Iron Pot" style treats, eat a little now, eat a little later. Anyone who knows my blog knows that I swear by the inner seed of the Apricot for cancer prevention, which contains B17, a nutrient abundant in cultures and races that had low cancer rates. However, the apricot flesh has […]

I'm well beyond that bogus "Fat free" mentality from about a decade ago, and I prefer chicken thighs, wings and legs, because the healthy fat contained in quality pasture raised poultry is not only healthy, as healthy fat is as nececessary for balance, health, and wellness as is carbs and protein,  but also it makes […]

Santa Fe Turkey Stuffed Peppers ….omit turkey and broth for meatless version, as one gets more experienced with using herbs, it allows cheese to be omitted if desired, currently I don't eat a lot of cheese, and I try to only eat cheese from grass fed cattle For the filling: *1/2 lb pasture raised ground […]

As I have said before in my blog, I don't eat a whole heck of a lot of grains, but I will have occasional quality bread, oatmeal, and Whole Foods Pizza, and I just don't see myself at this point going over to grain-free and gluten free. Most importantly, I am trying to think outside […]

I find I can "juicy up" those dry holiday leftovers birds by taking some olive oil in a bowl, adding some of your favorite spices, I like dried basil, coarse ground black pepper, parsley (and whatever green stuff I got up in the cabinet), add boneless turkey or roast chicken pieces, toss in bowl, throw […]

[…]

This post is the recipe at the bottom of my recent post "Chia: food of Aztec Warriors, and food for me, the Modern Day Warrior". This meal is going to become one of my "staples", that is, meals I eat day in and day out because they are quick, easy, and packed with nutrition. I […]

I was inspired twice today, first by a great blogger I ran across called "Joy the Baker". Great food photography!!! The second inspiration is my defection, or at least "temporary" defection from the gluten free and grain free movements, as an experiment, through the use of papain, the enzyme of the papaya fruit. I have […]

grilled chicken stuffed with basil and tomato ingredients 4 boneless, skinless pasture raised chicken breast halves (I AVOID COMMERCIAL CHICKENS!!) (trust me when I say, invest the extra $ in trying Pasture Raised Chickens at Whole Foods, the taste alone will have you never go back!!!) 1/2 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt or alternately Celtic Sea […]

Extra-virgin organic olive oil, for drizzling 4 buns grilled (see notes on bread below) 1 organic avocado, sliced 1/4 cup […]

Get creative this summer with awesome delicious fruity drink recipes, while avoiding those cheap ingredients and toxic sweeteners. my current favorite sweeteners are……. UMF Manuka Honey (mixes well in blender, one of the healthiest things you could ever put in your body) Coconut Palm Sugar (perfect substitute for recipes requiring processed sugar, brown sugar, or […]

In my latest shameless strategy to "trick" friends and family into healthy eating, I find that there are a lot of easy to prepare meals that can be made with an aesthetically pleasing flair and style, inciting my food audience to dive into a tasty, but unknown to them, a healthy treat. Buckwheat crepes with […]

As I wrote in my post called "Flip The Script" on the All American Breakfast, that breakfast we love doesn't have to be trashed, if we swap out those unhealthy ingredients. And as I say a gazillion times in this blog, replacing those junk ingredients with healthy ones will give that taste to die for, […]

I love those meals that look like they were a grand production, but In reality are very simple to make. Mango Chicken Burgers falls into that category. The struggle for me with these types of creations is the breads. I still have not evolved to consistently making my own bread so I have to search […]

Sweet Potatoes are a very impressive superfood that I used to not get to eat until the holidays. However, to take advantage of this delicious, nutrient packed veggie on a more consistent basis, I learned to make Baked Garlic Sweet Potato Wedges. I like the taste of this treat because the garlic flavor balances out […]

When it comes to mushrooms, either you love them or hate them. I have always loved throwing some portobello's on the grill in times past, but lately, I have been trying some pretty creative things with them, and as always, with the objective of creating something delicious, using ultra-healthy quality ingredients. The best of both […]

I always find it amusing when I make something for family and friends when we are casually watching a ballgame or whatever, and I notice their facial expressions when they bite into something super delicious, but unknown to them, super healthy. Salmon Dip is on that list. Quality ingredients do so much for health, but […]

When it comes to breads, I try to find the healthiest bread possible, but I am evolving to perfecting my own bread creations. I don't eat a lot of bread, but I do love these occasional creations with bread such as Turkey Meatball Sliders. I think for this kind of treat, you can basically use […]

The reason I say it this way is that there is too much high fructose corn syrup and refined sweeteners in barbecue sauces and ketchups, and it all contributes to childhood (and adult) obesity. It all adds up as we consume ketchup, barbecue sauce and the like all day every day. I think making your […]

When tackling "The Pancake Project", I think this is the most important creation, because of my personal belief of the health benefits of millet. In the spirit of always trying to express what I've learned about the health benefits of foods, but not overwhelm anyone and detract from the sports of cooking and eating, I […]

With my "Pancake Project", I am amazed by the options that are available to healthy non-vegans such as myself, who are as concerned as much with taste and the enjoyment of eating as we are about healthy. Once again I have a recipe that I ran across that is currently in it's "development" stage but […]

In my quest for the better pancake, I ran across thus recipe and I am trying it for myself because of it's simplicity. When I find a recipe such as this, I use it as a baseline for future additions and changes that I like to make for my own preferences. For me, simplicity is […]
