Hello friends! It’s that time of year in Philippines when our temperatures in Celsius are approximately equal to my family’s temperatures in Colorado in Farenheit, about 35-40 degrees in each place. It makes us feel closer, I think! In any case, this delicious tropical pineapple smoothie is perfect for our season here… and for my …
Hello folks! Is it too late to say “Happy New Year!”? In my book, better late than never… so, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope 2023 is treating you right so far. This brown rice & lentil salad is definitely better late than never. It came into being, like so many of my recipes, one day …
This fresh and vibrant salad is super healthy, quick to make, and absolutely delicious. Made with fresh fall veggies, a crisp apple, and crunchy walnuts, it’s full of antioxidants, energizing carbs, and healthy fats. It’s not only delish, but also beautiful enough to earn a spot on your Thanksgiving table. Let’s make it! I’m lucky …

Hello friends! After 22 months away, I’m back!! I’ve missed you all, and I’ve missed connecting with you here.

It’s Christmas Eve-eve! That’s what my brother and I used to say growing up, as the excitement and anticipation of Christmas built to its peak. And I still say it, though now less with the childlike hope of Santa Claus’ arrival down my chimney than with the firm hope of the incarnation of our Lord …
When the kids and I left Manila on March 14 in the face of the city-wide pandemic lockdown, I had packed for about 3 weeks, (naively) assuming that we would be back shortly after Spring Break. How little did I know. Seven months later, we are finally home. A lot has happened in 7 months, …
I was going to call these little cinnamon-y nuggets of goodness “awesome carb bars”… but for some people, “awesome” and “carb” don’t go together in the same sentence! And I’d so hate for you not to try these… They came to be at the beginning of May, when Tommy and I both started running more, …
Howdy, friends! It’s been awhile! How’s everyone? I truly hope this finds you all safe and well and still cooking!
