Sti- frys are one of my favorite dinners. They’re fast and easy to make, pack a punch of flavor, and contain a hefty serving of vegetables. I frequently use leftover, already-cooked meat for the protein in my stir-frys, which makes preparation even quicker. And if there’s a bit of stir-fry leftover, I like to mix …

December 26, 2020 by Katie Wells

Sicilian Feast of the Seven Fishes for Christmas Eve

December 23, 2020 by Katie Wells

I learned early on that when you get married, you also marry your husband’s sports teams (at least with my guy… go Reds!). This extends to cultural traditions too, especially if he comes from a strong cultural background.

Easy Stovetop Popcorn

December 22, 2020 by Katie Wells

I’m not a fan of the chemicals, artificial flavors, and preservatives in microwave popcorn (actually, we don’t use a microwave at all… here’s why.) However, we do like popcorn as a crunchy, savory snack on family movie or game nights. We decided to look up the old-fashioned way to make popcorn and discovered it’s actually not …

December 19, 2020 by Katie Wells

Despite our best attempts to live a healthy and toxin free life, there are times when illness or injury strikes.

Sweet Potato Casserole

December 15, 2020 by Katie Wells

Sweet potato casserole is beloved (by some) as a classic holiday recipe. If I’m being honest, I’m more of a plain baked sweet potato kind of gal, but since some of our extended family prefer the marshmallow-topped type, I decided to concoct a healthy version.

Soy is a controversial food. I’ve had many people ask me lately about various forms of soy and whether it is really healthy or not. On one side, some experts say it has numerous health benefits for hormones and cholesterol, as well as being a vegan source of protein and fiber. On the other side, …
