Spicy Tuesday – Paprika – Remoulade with Crudités

Spicy Tuesday! Basil – Leek and Olive Salad
We don’t usually think about leeks as the starting point for a salad, but for a recent class on pre and pro biotics, we chose to use leeks for this one because they are a potent pre-biotic. In other words, they are a functional food. They stimulate the growth and/or...

Spicy Tuesday – Cumin – Indian Spiced Shrimp or Fish
We are back! Last week Shayna headed to Hawaii – with the husband and kids to enjoy family time. I spent my week in San Francisco for my professional association meeting. The result? Both of us returned just a little jet lagged, but so happy we had a good time. Since...
Five Ingredients for a Flavorful Fruit Filled Dessert or Dip!

Spicy Tuesday – CILANTRO – Spring Herb Frittata
Breakfast for Dinner, we love it. Meal Planning was the subject of a class that we presented at Cancer Wellness recently. The concept of eggs for dinner is not a new one. But when you present a beautiful pan of fluffy eggs, filled with veggies and herbs it's a...
San Francisco, Where to Go and What to Do – From a Local Perspective

Spicy Tuesday – TARRAGON – Fruit and Herb Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
