Who thinks of burgers as a source of fiber? These are! In fact they are a complete meal in and of themselves! The only thing ... Read More »

The reason for that is that a high intake of fiber offers a range of health benefits AND helps with weight control because it allows you to fill up on fewer calories. What you WILL find in my recipes are lots of whole grains, legumes and beans, fruits and vegetables, all rich in fiber. I have lots of little tricks ... Read More »

Mocha Brownie Bites
These are melt-in-your mouth decadent tasting little brownies--gluten-free to boot! The rich coffee flavor is outrageous and the little coffee bean on top of each not only makes for a beautiful presentation but also adds a wonderful little crunchiness! Needless to say there is nothing decadent about these little brownies, nutrition-wise! I use bittersweet chocolate (60%), ... Read More »
Spinach Tomato Feta Omelet
This is an exquisite omelet filled with fresh baby spinach and tomatoes and with just enough feta cheese to make it rich but not too much to burden it with a lot of saturated fat. I also add a little lowfat kefir to the eggs, before whisking them to add to the creaminess. Eggs are a great source of protein and, coupled with fresh veggies, make for a very satisfying and ...

Put Salt in its place!
Salt is everywhere in our processed diet, even in the so-called "sweet" foods out there on the supermarket shelf, that you would never suspect actually had added salt (Yoo-hoo chocolate drink comes to mind-- it hides 260 mg of sodium for one serving (not to mention 35 g of sugar--I'll leave this for the nutrition experts to tell you how stunningly high that is, for a ...

How to reduce Fat (actually improve its quality!)
You will find no butter (organic or otherwise) and certainly no crisco, or lard in my recipes! The nutritional reason for that I leave for others to explain fully, but for the purpose of this little tip, I will just simply say that I don't use them because they contain saturated and/or transfats which are associated with increased risk of chronic disease.
