    This time of year, cauliflower is a star at the market. Since our health can benefit from seasonal vegetables, I decided to add this nutritious beauty to my shopping list. The cold weather demands more comfort food, so I devised a hearty recipe for a creamy cauliflower rice quiche. For keeping the carbs in check, this recipe is a crustless quiche. The two kinds of cheese I used, organic goat cheese and feta cheese, are good for our digestive system. I cook cauliflower for its health benefits, as it...

  Now that fall is in full swing, I love making the most of seasonal vegetables and fruits. Cooking with seasonal vegetables is of utmost importance to me as it benefits my health. We are in the midst of fall and its bounty of delicious and health-promoting root vegetables. Store at the market as often as possible to take full advantage of the freshness of the vegetables. And grow your fresh herbs in pots on your patio or windowsill. One of the staples of fall is pumpkin and butternut squash....

   I call this raspberry ice cream healthy because it is made with Greek yogurt instead of cream and coconut sugar instead of white sugar. It also uses three tablespoons of maple syrup for the entire batch. It contains no preservatives or other additives.  I am excited because I know what is in my ice cream and can also control the amount of sugar. This ice cream is full of raspberry flavor, creamy, and can be made in minutes.  It is a guilt-free treat made with only a...

   I love summer for the wide variety of fruits I can enjoy.  My orchard is bursting with colors: cherries, sour cherries, and peaches.  I like to take a little walk through my orchard to treat myself to fresh, juicy fruits right off the tree.   This year I was blessed with lots of sour cherries. Some of them are already on my pantry shelves in the form of jam and compote. Some are in the freezers to bake this Healthy Sour Cherry Cake later in the year.  Sour cherries, also...

  I love summer for the wide variety of fruits I can enjoy.  Two delicious and colorful peach trees give me sweet, rosy peaches every year. I like fresh from the peach tree best, but I also love them in baked goods.  Summer always takes me back to my childhood when my mom would make a delicious pie with all the fruit in season. This peach almond cake is a healthy twist, as I replaced half of the flour with almond flour and the refined sugar with coconut...

    Minty oat milk sounds so fresh on a hot summer day. I chose mint for this recipe because it gives us the freshness we need on hot summer days.  Since oat milk thickens when heated, I prefer to let the mint leaves steep for a few hours or overnight so their oils can infuse into the milk. Crush the mint leaves by hand, pour over the oat milk, and let steep.  When it comes to using oat milk, my favorite recipes are smoothies and yummy drinks with...
