These Cocoa Dusted Hazel-Nuggets are perfect to share with your loved ones on Valentine’s Day. The combination of chocolate and hazelnuts [...]

Smoked Salmon Feta Couscous

What is better that a hot NY bagel with gobs of cream cheese and smoked salmon? I used to love munching those things while walking around the city on a chilly winters day. In these mushroom caps I combine couscous, smoked salmon, feta cheese and fresh dill. All the flavors of that favorite bagel put [...]

Sprouted Wheat Stuffing Balls with Sausage

December 19, 2009

As much as I love holiday traditions and flavors I LOVE to step outside the box too. Traditional Thanksgiving stuffing baked inside a big pan (or bird) is great, but I wanted to stir the pot a bit. Making balls out of stuffing put a twist on a classic.  These Stuffing Balls were a hit [...]

Quick Thick Greek Yogurt

October 28, 2009

Ever get home from the store and notice that you bought the wrong yogurt?  You know the “normal” runny, gloppy kind that separates into all kinds of weird textures.  When I discovered rich, thick, creamy Greek yogurt there was no turning back.  Sometimes containers will say on the label “thick, creamy, Greek style.” The only [...]

After a date night this week my husband and I were strolling around town and ended up in the Sunshine Pharmacy on Main St. in Telluride. (That is the great excitement around here folks!) While he was making an antibiotic ointment purchase (’cause my kids keep getting ouchies in the playground,) I was hanging at [...]

Apple Cream Pie Yogurt Parfait

August 1, 2009

This yogurt parfait has tons of bang for the buck.  It is loaded with nutrient dense ingredients, it is high protein, it doesn’t have refined sugars and best of all it tastes like an apple cream pie. I am always trying to satisfy my nagging sweet tooth.  My goal is to not grab fat and [...]
