Don’t ask me how this home remedy got its name, but it has worked magic for me before! I got it from a roommate several years ago, whose parents also swore by its effectiveness. I’ll be honest and say that it does not taste good. Consider yourself warned. 2 grapefruit 2 oranges 2 lemons 1 [...]

Got this natural remedy recipe from my sister, and just in time as I’ve been coughing for the last three days. Just took my first dose and it is intense! My sister says she likes the way it tastes, and it was kind of good. It tastes better than the other home remedy I’ve tried, [...]

This is my favorite not-from-scratch dish. Don’t even ask me where the idea came from, it just came to me one day when I was making this couscous. I love the crunch of the walnuts and how colorful the carrots and kidney beans make the dish. It’s super fast and easy to make, too. 1 [...]

This idea came from my cousin last Christmas; I don’t remember if she made it this exact way or not, I’ve made it a couple of different ways since then. Anyway, this is how I made it for lunch yesterday and I could hardly get enough! It’s really that good. baby spinach 1 can mandarin oranges [...]

This recipe came from a friend who I think created it herself. It’s pretty healthy and very tasty. For the crust: 1 c almond meal 1 c oat flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 c fruit juice (orange works well) Press into a pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. For the filling: [...]

Found this recipe online while browsing for ideas for my husband’s birthday party last month, which we had outside by a bonfire. This was a hit. (I have no idea who Carol is!) I decided right away to use it this year on Thanksgiving Day, and will likely use it Christmas Eve as well. 1 gallon [...]

This is about the only way I can stand to eat kale. They used to make this recipe at the Lifestyle Center of America, and I absolutely love it. For the dressing: 2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp Bragg’s liquid aminos 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1 1/2 tbsp water 1 [...]

I’ll be forever grateful to my friend who ordered this at Checkers in Santa Rosa, CA, and thus introduced me to one of my favorite foods ever! (Checkers remains my favorite restaurant in the Napa Valley.) When I lived in Oklahoma I was known for this delicious appetizer, and it became a must at many Saturday night gatherings. You can roast [...]

This recipe was featured in theNest.com newsletter which I receive periodically. I’m replacing the brown sugar the original recipe calls for with maple  syrup. I can’t wait to try it! I love ginger and have been craving gingersnaps recently… 4 lb. sweet potatoes salt and fresh ground black pepper 1/2 c margarine  2 tbsp maple syrup [...]

I got the idea for this recipe from a friend and modified it to be a little more healthy. I’m sorry I don’t have exact measurements since it’s something I sort of made up! The name is misleading, since you actually end up baking the potatoes about three times in all. Each time brings out [...]
