Our cherry tomato plants from Juda Springs Farm at North End City Market are exploding so we’re putting the crop to good use with the last of our green and yellow zucchini haul from Shade Valley Produce at the HCC Realty Farmers Market/Colonial Village. This Cheesy Roasted Zucchini and Tomatoes can be made paleo-compliant and […]
Ranch dip has become a cornerstone of the modern American diet, but if you read the ingredients list, it isn’t pretty. We wanted to create a Healthy Creamy Ranch Dip with simple ingredients that taste great without all the added unidentifiable substances. We use Fage 2% Greek yogurt as the base for a rich and […]
Quinoa??? But…but…it’s a GRAIN! Nope. Botanically speaking, it’s the seed of a flowering plant (not a grass), that happens to be marketed as a grain. That’s all we have to say about that. Our ginormous Kale and Quinoa Salad is a nutritional beast that keeps the veggies in the spotlight and uses quinoa as a […]

Worcestershire sauce adds phenomenal flavor to all kinds of dishes (like this pot roast). Unfortunately, the original recipe is full of soy, molasses, and sugar. We get close to the real thing without that stuff. The key is using pomegranate molasses and fresh tamarind paste, both of which are sweet but have negligible sugar. Print […]
Sure sauerkraut is great, but have you tried Savory Braised Cabbage? It’s about a gazillion times more delicious and has significantly less sodium. Yeah, that’s a real number. Ready in about 20 minutes, even better the next day, and great with regular or plant-based brats. Print clock icon cutlery icon flag icon folder icon instagram […]
Calling this a “salad” is a bit of a misnomer. Our Grain-Free Southwest Salad is a hearty meal the whole family can enjoy. The individual components can also be set up buffet-style for parties or as a great game day substitute for frankenchese nachos. The Creamy Avocado Cilantro Dressing also works as a topping (it’s […]
Based on an authentic Lebanese recipe, our Grain-Free Fattoush Salad is made with pan roasted chickpeas in place of fried pita bread. Radishes, green pepper and Persian cucumbers add a refreshing crunch and a light, zesty Lemon Mint Dressing ties everything together. This is an excellent salad for lunch prep and weeknight meals, and it […]
Successful salad eating stems from variety in both ingredients and texture. Plenty of people have ordered an Apple Pecan Salad over the years, but maybe not quite like this. Spiralizing the apples results in an entirely different texture by distributing the crunchiness to every bite. Spring mix adds depth and complexity, and our pomegranate dressing […]
Our family has a Schrute-level love of beets. Red or golden, roasted and dressed or Cajun style, and even raw. We used fresh beets from Yaeger’s Farm Market in DeKalb, IL (more info following recipe) to make this simple Shredded Beet Salad that is delicious as-is and versatile enough to serve as the base for […]

Some people think that beets are gross or dumb or boring. FALSE. Thanks to Dwight Schrute, everyone knows beets are delicious, nutrient-packed powerhouses that add awesomeness to a variety of dishes. To prove this point, we’ve mixed red and golden beets with an amazing orange dressing on a bed of crisp baby spinach to make this […]
Here in the Midwest, we dress for four seasons in a single day and refer to dishes that contain mayo-slathered vegetables as “salads”. Don’t question our reasons. We explain ourselves to no one. If you’ve ever been to a Midwestern gathering, you’ve seen the fat and sugar bomb version of this [ahem] salad, in all […]
