I’m so happy we’re officially in Soup Season. Don’t you love soup? And its heartier bro, stew? I got this recipe a few months ago from a friend. Then I promptly lost the little post-it note I wrote it down on, but that’s OK because it’s so simple to make and with just four ingredients really [...]

When Broccoli Met Bacon

It’s still so darn hot out, but after a long day’s work I often want something really savory and delicious. But not bad for me. Or just a little bad for me. If I’ve thought ahead, I’ve made the incredibly easy dressing in the morning so it can blend. Then when I get home from work [...]

Lil Wheat-Free, Lower-Carb Maple Doughnuts

For me, the hardest thing about eating lower carb is the lack of delicious bread. I grew up eating my mom’s fresh-baked bread right out of the oven, so hot the slices were messy and uneven and butter melted into it immediately. Nutty-tasting sesame seeds on the crust and pillowy softness inside. I ate a lot [...]

Salad’s Bestest Buddy

Greens are so healthy, we should be eating them at every meal. Well, no. But if you’re like me and eat a lot of salad, you don’t want to ruin a perfectly good greens habit with boredom. Just like an ice cream sundae, it’s all about the toppings, all the crunchy, tasty bits that bring the [...]

My Side of the Mountain

I love a good salad, always have. I wonder how huge of a mountain my lifetime of salads would make. Or at least I did love salad. But then along came the romaine scare, and then finding out that canola oil messes up your omega 3/omega 6 balance (and canola is in every salad dressing). So [...]

Asparagus, You Look Great. Have You Been Working Out?

Remember when you couldn’t get brussels sprouts everywhere? Back in the olden days, when they might appear in a cafeteria, probably hospital, boiled or smothered with cheese sauce as a tip of the hat that they tasted awful. Then not too long ago, brussels made the acquaintance of the deep fryer and the Granny Smith apple [...]

My Friend Fennel

2020-12-14T22:28:29+00:00March 21st, 2018|Categories: Women Health Wellness|Tags: , , , |

For a long time I wanted to buy fresh fennel at the store because it looked so nice and smelled so good. But heck, I didn’t know what to do with it. Then one day awhile back I was gazing dumbly at a beautiful, haphazard fennel pile at the farmer’s market and my mouth started watering [...]

If Life Hands You Lemons, Make Greek Feta Lemon Chicken Soup

2020-12-14T22:28:34+00:00February 22nd, 2018|Categories: Women Health Wellness|Tags: , , , |

By Loraine Fick When you think hearty, delicious simmering soup, you don’t usually think “this will ready in barely more time than it takes to microwave a burrito!” But this savory soup can be assembled and cooked so quickly you can whip it up any night of the week. The trick is slow-cooking the chicken while [...]

You’ve Got the (protein) Balls to Ride

By Loraine Fick I love sugar, just love it, but I try not to eat sugar. For one thing, my blood sugar is a tad out of whack, most likely a combination of advancing age and eating a zillion refined carbs over the years. You might be surprised that almost everyone over 45 or so has [...]

February is National Snack Food Month as well as National Cherry Month so it’s fitting to post a recipe that honors both - Cherry Power Cookies. These power cookies are packed with antioxidant rich tart cherries, oats, nuts and seeds. The tart cherries give each bite the perfect amount of sweet/sour contrast to the nuts and [...]
