Spinach Dip with Rye Bread
I’m a snacker and I come from a whole line of snackers. When Marie and I go out shopping or wherever, we are more apt to snack or get a selection of appetizers than to eat a full meal. So when I saw the spinach dip in the grocery store on our last foray into town, I reached for it. Then I read the label and reminded myself that it contains dairy and back on the shelf it went. I am not a big consumer of spinach dip. As an Italian I’ve always prefered my spinach in garlic and oil and heaped on some delicious Italian bread and sprinkled with…
Rose Hips and Blood Orange Super Cookies
In the mood for a cookie but don’t want to cheat on your diet? Well don’t pass up this incredibly healthy and delicious high fiber, antioxidant goodie. I drink rose hips and hibiscus tea all winter, usually mixing my own recipe with dried orange peels.

She had a specific recipe in mind (coming soon), but I decided to test it first. Where do I begin? This thing is fabulous! Totally worth waiting for. I am not ashamed to admit that I have zero knife skills and I hate cutting onions. The mandolin was exactly what I needed. In the time it took…

Oatmeal Super Antioxidant Bites
Oatmeal is a quick and easy go to option for a nutritious breakfast, but it can also be the most fun. Pairing deliciously with just about any fruit, seed or nut, you can create your own wonderful combination to fit your lifestyle needs. Oatmeal is a naturally gluten free option that isn’t just for breakfast anymore. The first flavor I experimented with was “Nutella”. The scent of hazelnuts and chocolate transports me to my cousin Vita’s house on Staten Island. She would give us all a spoonful of the creamy spread and we would go outside on the stoop and eat our treat. Our chocolate hazelnut bite is a healthy…
