As I’ve mentioned before, January is one of my favorites of the year (second only to December). After the decadence and celebration at year’s end, this month is the perfect foil to the holidays, all filled with resolutions, resets and commitments to health.

Slow-Cooked Southern Greens (Meat-Free!): My Most-Requested Recipe
Greens may be the most iconic of all the soul foods. Many count a big pot of greens gently bubbling away on a stove as the definition of comfort food. A steaming bowl of them – with a side of cornbread if you’re lucky – is a completely satisfying supper at any time of the…
That Pescatarian Life
I eat a pescatarian diet, meaning I eat primarily plant-based plus I include fish and seafood. Going pescatarian has been a defining decision in my life in a lot of ways. I mean, the food you eat and cook and share says something about who you are and where you come from. The choices you…

With movements like #DryJanuary – where people eschew booze as…
New Leaf Challenge DONE
Well, I made my way through my 30-Day Clean Eating and Fitness Challenge. I definitely took some liberties and made some allowances.
