Most of you know I am a die-hard green smoothie girl! I've been having green smoothies for over 13 years now almost 5/7 days per week. During the winter I often do a warm smoothie like this one. If I'm not drinking a warm smoothie, I'm using warming spices such as...

One of my favorite things in this world is good granola. There are endless combinations out there between varying nuts, seeds, spices, grains, and mix-ins so you can eat a different variety pretty much every day. Of course with this being October here in the midwest...
One of the few things I love when the temps start to fall (I'll always be a summer girl at heart) is all of my elixir recipes! Elixir is just a fancy name I use for my warming coffeehouse-style drinks. Many boast medicinal ingredients and none of them include the...

We are right in the heart of peach season here in Illinois as I type this recipe up! Our seasons are short here and I try to capitalize on all of them since it's best to eat fruit and produce in season when it's at its most affordable and tastiest. Added bonus is that...
I'm typically a chocolate dessert kind of girl, and my husband is a true believer that lemon and lime don't really belong in a dessert. That said, in the heat of summer (as I type this), and when I'm in one of my favorite vacation spots, Naples Florida, I get this...
