Healthy Recipe of the Week – Tropical Salsa

With the sun coming out and the feelings of warm weather finally hitting Spokane (for now at least), I’ve been more accepting of the phase out of the winter squashes with all the wonderful fresh produce that comes with springtime. This tropical salsa recipe is a great example of how to incorporate some of the fresh fruit that is out now and doesn’t leave you disappointed in it’s shelf life (I’ve kept mine up to a full week) or its versatility. I have used it in fish tacos, grain bowls, salads and lunch wraps. You cannot go wrong with having this recipe on hand. » More …

Healthy Recipe of the Week – “Mock Chicken Salad”

Before this recipe I had not even heard of green garbanzo beans before.

Green garbanzo beans are the same as the traditional garbanzo beans we are used to but just picked at an earlier stage in the plant’s life, allowing for more nutrition and flavor to be harvested from this legume.

Try this vegan “mock chicken salad” option as a nice sandwich filler or over some bean sprouts/greens for a nutrient packed salad. » More …

So treat yourself and whip up a batch up these bad boys for a Sunday brunch and then save the leftovers for a great snack the rest of your week! » More …
