Snickers are heavy and unapologetically so. Sure they give you a boost of energy, but not so much long after do they send you into a sugar crash. They’re packed with sugar, milk fat and other additives. The best way to eat Snickers right is to eat the homemade. Enjoy!

October 17, 2012 – 3:52 am
Sushi doesn’t have to be a a carb-fest or mercury-mayhem! Keep the veggies simple and textured and use rice made from cauliflower. This is a quick, no-frills recipe to getting the sushi fix, but with abandon – no counting rolls here!
Vegan Gravy
September 28, 2012 – 7:33 am
As we set the stage for Autumn, it’s about time you perfect a gravy recipe before the Holidays roll around. This is my go-to vegan version, and it’s quite delicious! And always remember, always use a wine that you’d actually drink. Enjoy!
Peach Kringle
September 21, 2012 – 8:08 am
Canned peaches are peaches sliced and poached in sugar water. One cup of it is nearly 200 calories, near 40 grams of sugar and under 5 grams of fiber. In order to enjoy this for breakfast, it’d be nice to up the ante on fiber and keep the sugar coming exclusively from the peach itself, [...]
Vegetable & Pasta Stuffed Peppers
September 12, 2012 – 8:08 am
For EcoSalon, I’ve taken a 1965 Betty Crocker recipe for raw green bell peppers stuffed with macaroni and cheese and ham. My take is quite a drift from the original, but the main elements are in place – stuffed pepper and pasta. Enjoy!
Peach Mojito
September 10, 2012 – 8:08 am
One way to enjoy a cocktail without the guilt is to entirely nix the sugar and keep the ingredients simple and sweet in their natural form. For added sweetness, use a low/zero-glycemic sweetener, such as stevia. This peach mojito does just that. Fragrant herbs and luscious peaches make for a delightful happy-hour beverage that you [...]

I couldn’t keep my spoon out of this dish. I finished it within minutes of making it, sharing only a negligent amount with a friend. This coconut creamed corn is absolutely delicious and can be eaten hot or cold. It’s vegan, oil-free, and easy to put together. This was another contribution to EcoSalon.com, where I [...]
Vegan White Cheese Party Dip

This vegan cheese party dip will attract taste buds young and old at the next party, and it’s vegan! Normal butter works well – that’s how I usually make it – but vegan butter fits the bill just fabulously. Served warm or cold, the cauliflower dip is packed with flavor despite the few ingredients. Dig [...]
Baked Zucchini Fries
August 19, 2012 – 8:08 am
As my latest contribution to EcoSalon.com, I created an alternative to fast-food French fries. These spicy zucchini fries are baked to cut fat grams and are without the potato to avoid a carb overload. While zucchini fries aren’t as firm as traditional fries, they hold their own quite well and taste wonderful when baked with [...]
EcoSalon: Homemade Doritos
August 9, 2012 – 8:08 am
Cool Ranch Doritos have to be, by far, my favorite junk food. I was obsessed as a child. Just obsessed. Today, I rarely eat them because of their not-so-forgiving nutritional stats and the fact that they have MSG in them. MSG is not your friend – it can cause of slew of health problems, from [...]
