Boy do I miss cottage cheese! I used to eat that stuff by the container! Unsure why I even loved it so much, there's not much flavor. There was certainly something about it and have been missing it more and more. I set aside a day, played around and here's what I came up with. I went through a few r...

I owe it to my friend, Carla, for this INCREDIBLE cashew spread. The consistency is similar cream cheese and the flavor is deep and robust. You will always have this in your fridge.

Nothing says summer like watermelon! At 92% water it's a great hydrator and full of health benefits like helping control inflammation (Compounds such as lycopene and vitamin C can help reduce inflammation in the body, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases) and improving blood flow and r...
