This summer I’ve been experimenting with sourdough and the obsession is growing! One of the recipes I was most anxious to try was a delicious homemade pizza crust that has depth of flavor and a good chewy crispness. One of the reasons I’ve never been a huge fan of take-out pizza is because the crust…
Real Food Recipes
Tom Kha Gai and The Healing Power of Lemongrass
Thai food instills a profound weakness in me whether it be a perfect yellow curry or a delicious sweet and sour soup, I simply cannot for the life of me resist it. Years ago when I worked at a pet store near UCLA I would often go looking for new places to eat during my…
Egg-Free Coconut Paleo Oatmeal
This simple breakfast is one of my all-time favorite meals to have a cold morning. It’s quick and really to make and it really hits the spot! This “oatmeal” isn’t actually made with oats or any other grains, though you could add them if you wanted a non-paleo version. I like to make this oat…
Strawberry Chia Seed Smoothie Bowl Recipe
Have you caught on to the new smoothie fad lately? Instead of in a cup, it’s in a bowl! But that’s not all, they also happen to be even more nutritious than regular smoothies because you can add any number of favorite toppings without having to drink a chunky smoothie. You simply eat them with…
Cooling Summer Salad
Have I told that it’s hot lately? If you happened to miss the memo here’s a resounding “I’m melting! Please help me!” Seriously, I don’t do well in the heat and it’s been a nice toasty 105 degrees where I live the last few days so I’m really starting to feel it. The only things…

This is where my delicious dairy free orange Julius smoothie recipe comes into play. It’s decadent, but not overly so, it’s sweet but…
How to Make Raw Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Who doesn’t love a decadent ice cream? I know I do! It’s sad that most of us feel guilty after eating dessert…but why?? WHY IS THAT!? Dessert should be enjoyable, nourishing, AND delicious at the same time so you don’t have to feel guilty about eating it. Is there a way around the guilt? YES!…
Almond Butter Stuffed Dates
This. Eat this as soon as possible. It will for reals, improve your life! It’s impossible to eat almond butter stuffed dates without making an inappropriate sound. Yeah. They’re good, especially when they’re drizzled with coconut mana (I loooove this brand). Yep. Total mouthgasm. Quick and simple to make with a healthy spin on an old…
How to Make Dukkah
The first time I came across Dukkah was in San Francisco during a layover to Tokyo. I’d spent 3 days wandering the city trying out one café after another until I came across a local tea shop quite by accident. This was where I spent the last rainy afternoon before flying off to Asia; curled…
Mango Avocado Salsa
I love a good salsa, especially ones that meld the tangy sweetness of ripe mangoes with creamy avocado, salty tomatoes and the heat of serrano peppers. Put a big dollop of this salsa on chili, tacos, eggs, baked salmon, in chicken salad and even eat it by the spoonful all by itself because this salsa…
