I have to admit, braising is relatively new to me. Every so often, I would give it a go with a pork roast. Or lamb, maybe. But it’s really only been in the last year that I have started braising my veggies – and now I just can’t get enough. Maybe it was the two-step process that kept me away [...]
Every so often, Springer and I break away from our kitchens to explore local eateries. In fact, it’s one of our favorite things to do to find inspiration for our own recipes. From food trucks to hole-in-the-walls, we are truly fortunate to indulge in delicious AND healthy food any time of the day! So what is our favorite food spot [...]
Cravings can be incredibly powerful. Before we know it, we are diving into the snack drawer at work, heading to the nearest vending machine or swinging by the neighborhood convenience store or fast food restaurant. And in today’s world of grab n’ go eating, there is no shortage of tempting treats. The trick is to be prepared. First, understand what [...]
It has been a whirlwind of activity at Eat Life Whole these last few weeks. Lots of very cool stuff going on. Steph and I have been buzzing around, visiting companies here in the Bay Area to talk about everything from sugar to stress management to healthy on-the-go snacking. We have also had good fun bringing the newly arrived fall [...]
For years, I shied away from dried beans. Too hard, I thought. And I had no idea what to do with them, anyway. It made my anti-bean choice very easy. Then I discovered Rancho Gordo beans. For any of you that have been to the Ferry Building Farmers’ Market, you have probably seen their stand there. They have tables overflowing [...]
Greens and quality meat are essentials in my household. Over the years, I’ve noticed a vast improvement in my energy level by increasing the amount of greens I eat throughout the day AND going for quality meat over quantity. Making the shift to change the way I ate wasn’t fast, easy, or always delicious. There were many days where I [...]
Everyone loves a good snack – a little something to keep you going until lunch or a quick nibble to get you through the mid-afternoon doldrums. A bite here, a bite there. How much harm could it really do, right? Quite a bit, in fact. Unhealthy snack choices are often a primary contributor to low energy levels and weight gain. [...]
My kids have always been big fans of mac n’ cheese – making it a regular entry on the weekly meal plan. We have played with many different “versions” over the years. Annie’s out-of-the-box was a big hit for a good long time. And then we started experimenting with our own homemade recipes. The girls loved the chance to cook. [...]
My girls and I were able to spend five amazingly wonderful weeks in Maine this summer. As we have done in years past, we made the local farmers’ market part of our weekly routine. We arrived just in time to catch the tail end of blueberry season, the peaches came and went in less than two weeks while the fresh [...]
“Becoming raw” is exactly that – living a lifestyle that believes the most healthful foods are those that are uncooked (with a slight exception for some heat as long as it is below 118°F). And why raw? Cooking is thought to break down natural enzymes in food, which are needed to assist with digestion and absorption of nutrients. So does [...]
