Fast, delicious breakfast!
Greek yogurt with fruit. I know you are probably thinking "Oh wow, yogurt with fruit," but this is different.

Also, it is really…

A question about ZUCCHINI NOODLES

Has anyone made them? Are they slimy like pasta or more on the crunchy side? Anyone have a good recipe on how to make them (the…

Great Beans
I don't really like the taste of canned beans and don't have a pressure cooker. After much experimentation, I've finally gotten my beans where I want them.

My mulberry conundrum
It looks like I'll be getting a bumper crop off my mulberry trees this year, and I find myself with a conundrum: what am I going to do with them?

Nut Butter Protein Bars plus my attempt at flaxseed butter.
Just joined the group and thought I'd share something that I've been making recently. I've made this recipe with many nut butters, but recently tried to make my own flaxseed butter.

Exciting salads
