There’s something so satisfying about making healthy(ish) versions of your favorite treats. To me, it’s like killing two birds with one stone: Your sweet tooth and body are satisfied. And while I’ll be the first to admit that these desserts usually don’t taste like their “normal” counterparts, they’re still delicious and easy to make. Count me in! …
Summer makes me want to eat all the fruits. And while I can’t say no to a classic smoothie or fruit salad, making these fruit spring rolls for eHow might very well be the highlight of my month. After all, I’m all about recipes that take traditional foods for an unconventional spin. Take spring rolls, for example. …
As the temperatures rise and the days last longer, I can’t help but dream about tasty frozen desserts. There’s ice cream, frozen yogurt, smoothies… and everything in between.

Oh, pizza. There’s something so nostalgic and delicious about it. Plus, as a born and bred New Yorker, you can be sure that I’m quite the critique when it comes to this tasty classic.

Lately, I’ve become obsessed with discovering new ways to amplify the things I already do. And when it comes to recipes? Supplements always come through. Of course, there’s nothing better than the most natural form of a nutrient. But supplements can really amp things up. My latest experiment included Coromega Max Super High Omega-3 in Coconut Bliss – but …
I’ve always been a sucker for homemade versions of store-bought brands and foods. In a way, it’s a lot like DIY projects inspired by high-end designers.
