What’s the Best Diet for You?
There are many options when it comes to eating: keto, paleo, vegan, low carb, intermittent fasting, and more. Which one is the best? I don’t endorse only one way of eating, and I’ve worked with people who enjoy a wide range of eating plans. The best diet...
A Simple Celebration Salad
Happy Independence Day and the kick-off to summer! Since there will probably be a few picnics and family gatherings happening at some point, I thought you’d enjoy a simple, tasty, and (don’t tell Mr. Non-Compliant) healthy salad. This quinoa salad is great for hot weather events because...
Ever try butter on saltines?

Mr. Non-Compliant vs. the Corn Cob Holders
Corn on the cob is one of Mr. Non-Compliant’s (aka my husband’s) favorite foods. Indiana offers the best, come late July and August. The rest of the year, I sometimes find pretty tasty corn in the grocery store. This past week I discovered some at Whole...
The Coconut Cake
For those of you who are interested in the coconut cake I mentioned last week, the recipe is now on my website. You’ll find it in the Recipes section under Treats, of course. It’s AMAZING. Full gluten eaters even like it. If you’re not a coconut fan, there’s also...
