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…
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…
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).

Apparently I’ve been subconsciously getting prepared for this big change…
I remember the first time I saw a bunch of rainbow carrots. I was in awe of their beauty and couldn’t wait to see what they tasted like. But I was afraid to mess them up. How would I cook them? Should I cook them? Then I exhaled and realized I could buy more than one bunch. The first time I cut into a purple carrot, I was shocked to…
On Monday, I talked about four nutrition lessons from 2012. I hope they inspired your healthy eating journey enough that you are ready to make a few changes. But how to get started? Attune Foods has put together three one-week Clean Eating meal plans to get you off on the right foot. Each meal plan was created by a registered dietitian and comes with a grocery list and tips.

Joe finally woke up without a fever this morning, but he passed it right along to Leila. So we started out another sick day at home with some Shirley Temple. Unfortunately for all of us, the song she sings about animal crackers in her soup will be forever stuck in our heads. We took a break from watching movies for a little Mexican Train dominoes action. Hobbs was the big…
