Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
You know it’s really hard to do a bacon recipe when you don’t eat bacon! It’s not that I don’t like bacon, I really love it! But about 5 years ago, I somehow became allergic to all pork, beef and lamb, so bacon had to be struck from my meal plans. No BLT, no bacon & eggs, no BBQ pork…. so sad!! That said, we were headed to a friends house for a cookout and I needed to take som…
How to Cook Greens……for St. Patricks Day!
Ok, I’m from the South, what can I say…. I love greens! I got Kale in my Gaia’s Greens box last week, and Collards this week so it was time to cook up some greens! And then when I realized it’s almost St. Patricks Day and Greens are, well….Green, I knew for sure that this was something our readers would want to know about. I mean just think about it … Corned Beef & G…
Indian Spiced Eggplant
I love Indian food! The flavors are always interesting and most times it’s prepared in a healthy way. In fact, one Indian spice that’s usually included is Turmeric, known for it’s anti-inflammation properties. The active ingredient in Turmeric is curcumin and scientists are discovering that it is beneficial in the treatment of many different health conditions from cancer to A…
Granny’s Chocolate Bar Cake
This cake is my Grandmother’s recipe and we always had it for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it’s Easter and it’s also my man’s birthday and I needed to bake a cake for the party. He’s a chocoholic and I knew this cake would fit the bill. I’ve never made it before, but I know all too well just how wonderful and chocolaty this cake is! Fair warning: it doesn’…
Traditional Deviled Eggs
One of the things I love about Easter is eggs! And what better to do with hard boiled eggs than deviled eggs. We are going to an Easter/Birthday Party today and this is one of the dishes I’m taking. Everybody loves deviled eggs and I’m sure they will disappear quickly! These will be great alongside the BBQ Ribs and Pork Shoulder that my friends John & Kat are preparing for the party. …
Coleslaw
Here’s some trivia for you: The term “coleslaw” arose in the 20th century as a partial translation from the Dutch term “koolsla”, a shortening of “koolsalade”, which means “cabbage salad”. In the US, most coleslaw is made with a mayonaise-based dressing, but this is a recipe that has been a favorite in my family for many years. It’…
Easy Italian Bruchetta
Many of you know that I have an organic produce business, and I also coordinated AND had a booth for my business at the Fayette Co. Earth Day Festival here in Georgia. I sell a great Marinara Sauce through my business and had it at my booth at the festival. I also had fresh organic herbs and my man, David, made some fresh bread so I could do some samples of the Marinara Sauce at my booth. Wow! What a winning comb…
Vegetable Pasta Italiano
I just love a meal I can throw together in a few minutes. This is super easy and makes use of prepared organic marinara sauce. I’ve tried it with all kinds of pasta sauces and you just can’t go wrong. I add veggies to it and prefer to leave them chunky, but my sister always “hid” the veggies in hers by pureeing them so her kids wouldn’t know there were veggies in there. Som…
Seafood Sausage Penne Pasta
I found this seafood sausage when I was shopping at one of my favorite stores, Trader Joe’s, the other day and decided to combine it with some vegetables and penne pasta. A while back, I went to a restaurant with a friend and had this great penne pasta & sausage dish, and ever since I’ve been trying to duplicate it. This was the best ever! It’s fast and easy and is one of those dis…
Healthier Apple Crisp
Editor’s Note: Classic recipes like this one –updated for today’s world– make a great Mother’s Day Dessert! I’ve been testing all of this organic produce for my new business, Gaia’s Greens, and had an abundance of apples that I wanted to use in a dessert. Recently, I’ve had the heart wrenching chore of cleaning out my parents house to get it ready to…
