I love cook books. I just love collecting them and flipping through them. One of my favorite things to do is sit down with a new cook book and put little tabs on all the recipes I want to try. I love cook books with lots of big, bright pictures. Perhaps that’s why I love…

Sunchoke Puree Veggie Panini
I am so excited to tell you about this amazing new discovery I made! Sunchokes are amazing! I didn’t even know what a sunchoke was until recently and I am absolutely smitten with them. It caught me off guard. I just love it when that happens. I love it when I try a totally…
Roasted Cauliflower Soup
If you read my last post, you know that I have been restricted to really mushy foods with no fiber or roughage. After a whole week of just consuming veggie and fruit juice, I slowly started to add real food back into my diet. I started with pureed vegetable soups. With the weather being below…
My Adventures in Juicing
Since my last post I did something I never thought I would do…I bought a juicer. My husband and I put together all of our Amazon gift cards that we got for Christmas and made the plunge. We were pretty excited to see this beauty on our doorstep (The box, not the baby. Although, she…
Apple, Roasted Beet, Beet Greens and Kale Salad with an Apple Cider Vinaigrette
One of my very favorite things in the whole world is slowly walking through a farmers market. There is nothing better. I just love the freshly baked goods, the freshly picked fruits and veggies, the little handmade trinkets, the people-watching. Last week I caught one of the last markets of the season and went all…

Veggie Burgers with Beets, Lentils, and Bulgur Wheat
I am addicted to veggie burgers. Is that weird? I love them. I would order one over a hamburger any day. I have been kind of obsessed with making them lately. I have tried quite a few different variations and I have liked most of them, it just didn’t work out for me to blog…
Roasted Radishes
A couple weeks ago some of my neighbors were asking me what I had in my garden. I told them lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, beans, peas, onions, and radishes. One of my friends mentioned that she likes to just munch on raw radishes. I mentioned that I like to put raw sliced radishes in…
New Take on Salad
It it just me, or have there been an excessive amount of those self serve frozen yogurt bars popping up everywhere? In Columbus, I see a new one opening up all the time. They have become really popular and I think the magic is in the toppings. From breakfast cereal to candy bars to mochi…
