Small Batch Easy Blueberry Jam with Ginger and Lemon is a delicious no-added-sugar alternative to sugary store-bought jams, and bonus, it whips up in just 20 minutes!

I’m a coffee drinker in the morning, but for a mid-afternoon break, tea is typically my go-to. This routine is very soothing; I find the whole process of picking a flavor and steeping tea relaxing. Paired with toast topped with cottage cheese, Small Batch Easy Blueberry Jam with Ginger and Lemon, fresh mint, and a little lemon zest, your afternoon just got a whole lot better.…

Low Carb Spiralized Cucumber Salad with Peanuts, Basil, and Ginger Miso Dressing

July 30, 2018 by Faith 2 Comments

Low Carb Spiralized Cucumber Salad with Peanuts, Basil, and Ginger Miso Dressing is a balanced combination of complex flavors and different textures. If we’re going to be friends, there are two things you should know about me. Firstly, there are some foods I can always be in the mood for. Indian is at the top of the list, and so is Thai. Secondly, I like to play with my food. And by play with my food, I mean experiment with flavor combinations and fusions of different cuisines (because it’s fun!). In this Low Carb Spiralized Cucumber Salad with Peanuts, Basil, and Ginger Miso Dressing, I […]...

Teriyaki Green Beans

January 19, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Teriyaki Green Beans have all the flavor of your favorite take-out food, but you get to control the amount of sugar and salt that goes in. Most people look at me like I have three heads when I tell them I don’t eat Chinese food. It’s not that I don’t enjoy it; I too am a sucker for savory/sweet foods swimming in sauce. And fried rice. And noodles. What I really mean when I say that I don’t eat Chinese food is that I don’t eat it at restaurants....

Honey-Apple Cranberry Ginger Tisane

January 5, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Thank you Council for Responsible Nutrition for sponsoring this post. This is #MyWeekSupplemented. Honey-Apple Cranberry Ginger Tisane is a soothing, hot drink that’s rich with nutrients and full of flavor. Whenever someone tells me that they don’t take vitamins or dietary supplements, their reason is typically because they eat healthy. The quality of food we put into our bodies is obviously a vital aspect of health (which is why I try to buy organic and grass-fed products as much as I can, especially when it comes to dairy, meat, and the dirty dozen), but there are a few pieces to the puzzle that also should […]...

Thai-Inspired Street Dogs: Grilled Hot Dogs with Peanutty Garlic, Ginger, and Cilantro Slaw

September 21, 2015 by Faith 14 Comments

These Thai-Inspired Street Dogs boast some of my favorite Thai flavors like peanut, garlic, and ginger in a tasty slaw! What could be better for topping hot dogs? I am a street food junkie, especially when I travel. I think there’s no better way to get to know the cuisine of a different culture than to jump head-first into the food the locals enjoy. (Plus street food has the added benefit of being much more affordable, which means you get to sample more…right?)...

Dark Chocolate Olive Oil Cake with Blueberries and Ginger

August 31, 2015 by Faith 46 Comments

This Dark Chocolate Olive Oil Cake with Blueberries and Ginger is deeply chocolaty, rich, and moist, with complex fruity flavor notes thanks to the addition of olive oil, blueberries, and ginger. We all have a favorite oil, whether it is coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, or something else. Like any other staple, our favorite oil is always in our pantry, and it’s often what we reach for when we want to make everything from fried eggs to muffins to sautéed vegetables. For a lot of us, olive oil reigns supreme because if it’s flavor, cooking versatility, and health benefits....

Sesame-Soy Arrowroot Noodles with Stir-Fried Vegetables {Plus a Q&A with GoMacro Founder and a MacroBar Giveaway}

June 24, 2015 by Faith 41 Comments

We all know that being active is part of a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes, however, it feels like a catch-22 when you and your family are so active that you’re always on-the-go and there isn’t even time to cook a healthy meal. Which is, of course, why so many people resort to the drive thru. I have a different take on fast food....

Creamy Wheat Berry Porridge with Gingered Blueberry Topping {Vegan}

January 7, 2015 by Faith 12 Comments

We’re a week into the New Year, and I’m always curious as to whether people make New Year’s resolutions or not. I’ve noticed that people I talk to are split just about down the middle in their line of thinking; about half make resolutions at the start of a New Year and the other half says they try to make a resolution any time a change is needed....

To end my week-long Crazy for Cranberry event, I’m leaving you with a more traditional cranberry sauce....

Sparkling Citrus Pineapple Ginger “Sangria” Mocktail

August 27, 2014 by Faith 2 Comments

The only kind of juice Mike likes is carrot. I don’t like to make it for him every day (a friend of a friend’s cousin’s mom swears that her baby turned orangish from feeding her carrots every day!), but I make him a fresh glass of it a couple times a week in the morning when I make my own juice blend....
