Spaghetti Squash & Kale Chips

I found a great recipe for Spaghetti Squash on VeganDad's blog: Spaghetti Squash with Slow Roasted Tomato Sauce. I bought a squash last week at the farmer's market, so I was looking for a great way to cook it, since I'd never cooked one before. I[...]

If you haven?t noticed yet, when I get into something I go into it guns blazing. When I started going to spin class, I got so obsessed I bought an unlimited pass and went about seven times a week. Excessive. Last autumn, when I decided to[...]

Valentine's Day this year was filled with all the things I love: good food and amazing friends. What else could you want on such a holiday?? Nothing! The day began with breakfast, of course. I had my girls over for a breakfast of heart-shaped[...]
