Spring time is here – hello Daylight Savings and St. Patrick’s Day! We enjoy this fun holiday, especially the annual parade in Delray Beach. Lots of cheers and celebrations – green beer, corned beef and cabbage too. All that fun and you may be feeling green the next day.

Feel better and get back to feeling like yourself or even better by adding in some minty greens after having a little too much fun. Spring is a great time of year to start eating lighter foods which you may already be craving with the warmer weather. Read more →

Before you head out on the town for New Year’s Eve be sure to place the peas in water to soak overnight so they’ll be ready to cook when you rise on New Year’s Day! Read more →

Stuffed Baked Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes are one of my all time favorite foods. Top with toasted buckwheat groats, sauteed greens and drizzled with gourmet dark raspberry vinegar and garlic infused olive oil and I’m in heaven.

This is really easy to make and super filling and satisfying. Isn’t this a gorgeous work of art and the best because you get to eat it too!
