Truth: I love green smoothies. They taste great and are great for you! Double Truth: They often turn out the color of sewage waste! And that sends most people running in the other direction.

This berry avocado spinach smoothie is my undo button....

Warm bowls of roasted garlic cauliflower soup make the cold, rainy autumn days so much more bearable.

Thanks to Aparna for choosing this recipe as part of our bread of the month for the group We Knead to Bake. She had chosen this recipe from Peter Reinhart’s whole grain bread book.

In the past just to make the bread slightly healthier, I used to substitute 50-50 all-purpose flour with wheat flour....

Additional melted butter is brushed on just before air frying to give every beignet a golden exterior and a deliciously rich flavor before being topped with a fluffy mound of powdered sugar....
