Commercial curry powders almost always contain nightshades like red pepper and cayenne. Many people ...

My favorite avocado snack is usually made with tomatoes, cayenne, and jalapeños. So here's a traditional Mexican recipe that'e easy on your digestion.

Nightshades work slowly, their negative effects often delayed ...

Papaya Tangerine Smoothie

Today's breakfast was a refreshing flavor treat of creamy, luscious papaya. I added tangerine, coconut milk, and strawberries for a WOW! Intensely luscious smoothie! Look for the healthy organic, non-GMO papaya with real seeds, as many papayas are genetically modified. (If they have NO SEEDS, how can they reproduce?) This papaya milkshake tastes like the papaya "batido" beverages I used to buy on the street in Mexico, except those are usually made with (uh oh!) sweetened evaporated milk ...

Let's do something super-easy! If you have leftover brown rice and a few veggies on hand, it's a nutritious 5-minute meal. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, this is a great way to use leftovers. Start with 2 cups brown rice, preferably soaked or sprouted. Add a few sautéed veggies, and top with avocado. Egg and meat are optional.

This is probably the best recipe I ever created. Since I LOVE Italian food, and I used to be allergic to cheese, I was HIGHLY MOTIVATED to recreate the flavor of Parmigiano Reggiano! This is basically coconut butter "cheese" with a ZING! Once you mix and chill it, you can use it just like parmesan cheese. Grate it, slice it, or cut into chunks. Instead of dairy,  the ingredients are coconut butter, lemon, nutritional yeast, and optional Vitamin C for a sharp, aged cheese flavor. BTW I ...
