I can’t take credit for this idea. My friend and fellow celiac Shannon told me about this unlikely pairing last summer, and I have been devouring it ever since. Sounds weird, doesn’t it? I promise, it’s so good. Just be sure to portion some out on a plate, or you’ll end up eating the entire bowl. Looking for pretty veggies like these? Sign up for the Agritopia Farm CSA, or click…
Yesterday was a crazy wintery day here in Phoenix. I snapped a few pictures with my phone on the way to and from my medical procedure. I honestly barely remember taking the last two. I do remember however, picking up the phone in my loopy post-anesthesia haze and hearing my mom say, “Don’t post anything! Don’t tweet!” I’m thankful she had the presence of mind to do that because you…
Last weekend, we headed to the garden to grab the rest of the rainbow carrots. The kids and I had so much fun pulling them up, “oohing” and “ahhing” over the colors and shapes. Each pull was like a new surprise. Would it be yellow? Purple? Pink? Orange? We ended up with so many carrots that I decided to make what has become a favorite in our house: Creamy Carrot…

Because we could all use a good laugh every once in a while. Do you have…
Leila and I experimented in the kitchen yesterday with some California raisins, nuts, chia seeds and cinnamon. We were trying to make a healthy snack that would be perfect for before dance class (her) or after a run (me). I thought for sure that we would have to do a few rounds to get them right, but BAM, the first try was just right. These raisin nut bites are sweet,…
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the urge to purge. Organize. Clean. I couldn’t figure out why, especially since I’m not an organized person at heart. Then it hit me: I’m nesting. No, not that kind of nesting. Spring Training starts this week. Which means a huge shift in our schedule, and the start of a long baseball season. Apparently I’ve been subconsciously getting prepared for this big change…
I love quinoa. Long before I went gluten-free, back in the days when I had no idea how to pronounce “keen-wa”, I was learning how to cook the tiny seed and teaching you how to love it too. In fact, when I put the word “quinoa” in the Inspired RD search box, 28 posts came up! Over the past few months however, more and more has come out about the…
