Cute name for a serious food, right? Nooch is short for nutritional yeast.
…it’s probably better to stick with the nickname, right?
Nutritional yeast is a complete protein, yet vegan. It is NOT the same yeast we are familar with for, say, bread or beer. Not only is it a great source of B-vitamins and protein but [...]
..for those in the US (Happy July 4th!), because there’s a lot of good stuff to read here!
Here was an EASY, healthful dinner: from last night to inspire you:
Base of prepackaged cabbage salad + kale + shrimp + avocado + brown rice + Sabra brand “Texas Caviar” (beans, peppers, etc).
I give the Sabra (known famously for [...]

Cactus pear or \”tuna\”
After I watched the above video (see link), we went on a wild good chase to find the elusive (apparently NOT in season), “tuna” which is Spanish for the “cactus pear” or those little reddish fruits of the cactus plant.

Alas, what is a fit chick to do?!?!?!
How about make one that is low-fat?
Other than the junk in the mix (Mix…not from scratch…I didn’t have THAT much time to bake this Monday..sheezz!), this is pretty darn healthy.
Take a box of cake mix and add 16oz of organic pumpkin. Not the stuff for [...]

Some teachers will cue your hand placement as on the ankle, on the inside of the leg (touching or not touching the floor), or [...]

Post-Thanksgiving we all should be:

Perhaps trying to do a mini what-we’ll-call-a-Flush by drinking 32oz of water spiked with fresh lemon squeezes, 1/4C apple [...]
