butternut squash hash

I used to be a total sucker for sweet breakfasts, so I really started skipping them in general as I got older (and had to stop eating frosted mini wheats for breakfast every morning). Oh, and Pop-Tarts? Don't even get me started. Now that we're living a healthier lifestyle (at least as much as possible), I've embraced the savory breakfast with open arms. 

butternut squash, carrot & ginger soup

There's just something about butternut squash that makes me want to eat it everyday. In all different forms. Last week I was on a soup kick {I ordered the vegan stew from Datz three times over five days}, so I decided to try out the hot soup feature on the Vitamix.

paleo bread revisited

Not too long ago, I posted a recipe for "paleo" bread. Since then, I've tried this honey-free version a few times, and like it even better. Judging by the speed with which it disappeared from my home, my husband also approved of this modified recipe {although it is still not as pretty as Elana's version, which is the inspiration for this recipe}.

kale salad

Kale is one trend I've jumped on board with that I'm pretty sure my children won't make fun of me for in twenty years (unlike my lipstick in high school). More often than not I sauté it in with spinach, onions, and plenty of garlic to overcome the rather bitter taste. Last week I made this salad, however, and have a new perspective on raw kale.
