Low Carb Lunch
Roasted red pepper & carrot ginger soup recipe
Do you ever find that even if you love eating salads, the idea of eating them in cold weather is completely unappealing? According to Ayurvedic principles, you shouldn’t have raw veggies in winter unless you live in a warm climate and particularly if you’re a stressed-out vata (<-hello, 100% me). If that sounds like you, I’ve…
Gluten Free Cauliflower Pizza Recipe
I blame this book for spoiling my relationship with bread. I was a vegetarian for many many years and bread and all things bread-like were the mainstay of my diet for a very long time. And it showed… {via} I always looked puffy and bloated. My belly was nowhere near flat, even though my legs…

High Protein Tuna Cakes (seriously amazing)
I typically don’t share fish recipes on this blog, but I’m going to make an exception here. Why? Because you can’t not know about these fish cakes. I’ve been working on mastering the “fish cake” for some time now…mostly because they’re a great option when there’s little else than a can of old tuna…
Egg white Protein muffins
So, as you may or may not know….I’m far from perfect (shocker, I know). I’d say that of all the recipes I work with for the blog, only a third of them work out. We try to eat even the epic failures. But when we can’t tolerate those, they end up as fertilizer for the…
