If you’ve been following me on Instagram for the last couple of months, you might have seen I have a new favorite dish to make–my 6 minute salmon. As much as we all say we like variety, most of us eat the same foods over and over again. I’m no different from anyone else in that way, though some of foods/meals I …
I recently purchased a BBQ coffee spice rub from Trader Joe’s that many of you may be familiar with as well. It’s delicious, but, sadly, it’s not organic. Most of the spices at Trader Joe’s aren’t organic. And while I’m not against using non-organic spices now and then, I typically seek out better quality spices to be in my regular …
I recently posted a few photos to social media of almond milk labels and Nutrition Facts/ingredients panels. Much to the surprise of many of you, a very popularly sold brand that is stocked in the cold section of the grocery store (health-washing at its finest here, folks – you’re tricked into thinking it’s healthier since it’s sold as perishable, sigh…) …

The first time I tried kombucha was in 2007. I was working at Lululemon Athletica part-time in San Francisco while I was working on the business plan for Balanced Bites – originally a grass-fed/organic meal delivery business. Yes, really. One of the many cool things about working at the store was that we’d get a “treat” each morning or evening …
Sausage is delicious, but, when it comes to ingredients, we’re often at the mercy of the butcher or manufacturer. The thing is, sausage is really simple to make right at home! This is a simple and delicious way to turn plain old ground meat into a taste adventure for your mouth. One of the easiest ways that you can prepare …
It’s been a while since I made clarified butter or ghee. Heck, our kitchen has been under construction for about two months, so, it’s been a while since I made anything other than quickly skillet-cooked or grilled food! I was thrilled to not only see one of my favorite grass-fed butters (SMJÖR brand) on sale at my local Whole Foods, …
