Matcha Green Tea Latté
Matcha is like warm green tea ice cream in a cozy mug. I’ve heard about matcha for so long, and strolled by matcha cafés popping up in New York and L.A., but I had yet to try the green stuff until last week. For something so full of antioxidants, Vitamin C and L-theanine, it’s darn…

And by the way, I’ve never used the word “compliant” so much in my entire life. The chicken wings are truly a three ingredient recipe:…

Holiday Granola to Feed a Crowd

Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad
Ok friends. I swore to my kids I wouldn’t try to create a healthy Thanksgiving menu, but I do think it’s good to balance virtue and vice.
