Trust me, this creamy cashew cheez will get you through the tough times!

Author: Lily MazzarellaTypical granolas are part of the high-glycemic faux “health food” hoax perpetrated on health conscious folks in this county (many yogurts fit this bill, too). But. The good news is, you can make your own low-fuss, low-glycemic version AND add adaptogenic support to the mix. If you don’t know adaptogens yet, you’ll want to: adaptogens are safe, tonic herbs that support whole body neuro-endocrine balance, resulting in benefits such as stable energy, good sleep, and more ...

I like the idea of kabobs—but don't usually find them very satisfying: some items are undercooked (usually the onions and peppers of traditional kabobs), while others are charred to crisp. I realized there was a simple solution for this: keep "like with like" on the skewer, and cook each item to its own specification.

Author: Lily MazarellaThis light, creamy, not-overly-sweet treat features vitamin C-rich springtime strawberries and goji berries, a.k.a. Happiness Berry or Wolfberry. Goji is a traditional Chinese medicine used for liver and kidney deficiency patterns, for “brightening” the eyes (no wonder, as it is chock-full of carotenes and anti-inflammatory pigments), and promoting happiness and longevity.

Author: Lilly MazzarellaNaturally sweet and delicious, cashews offer the perfect alternative to dairy, and can be used to make vegan sauces and cheeses, and to make smoothies thick and creamy.

Author: Lily MazzarellaTo bowl or not to bowl…. I admit: my healthy skepticism got a bit of a workout in the beginning phases of the recent “bowl” craze. My Instagram and Facebook accounts were suddenly flooded with photos of bright, wholesome food bowls, accompanied by the usual social media hyperbole: “This tempeh-kimchi-bee pollen bowl is everything!” Bowl restaurants sprang up in cities like dandelions in springtime. After all, I thought, what is so different about eating veggies, rice, a...

Author: Lily MazzarellaI think cauliflower has gotten short shrift over the years. Its lumpy white appearance belies its versatility and health benefits: cauliflower has a very low glycemic index, and is packed with vitamin C, K, and folate. It contains sulfur compounds that support detox pathways, while its abundant flavonoids support the cardiovascular system and help prevent oxidative damage. This delicious soup allows it to shine!
