Hi! I'm Rebekah. I'm a Certified Nutrition Educator, Wellness Coach, food fanatic and the mother of two beautiful girls and a handsome boy. I love to help people of all cultures discover, prepare and enjoy real food.
I love kale. It was definitely not love at first taste, but over the past few years I have tried a variety of preparations and found several that I truly love. While it is slightly bitter and/or tangy (depending on the variety), it melds well […]
READ MORE →Mother’s Day this year was a bit unconventional, but it was probably my favorite Mother’s Day to date. My wonderful husband let me sleep in a bit, a very rare occurrence since the kiddos are early risers. Then we went to the Farmer’s Market (which […]

READ MORE →My husband and I have become foodies to the core. Who else buys food that they have never eaten or cooked, especially when it is expensive? We do! Yesterday, we decided to get out of the house and go to our favorite butcher to pick […]
READ MORE →When I was first learning to cook Indian food, it was all very mysterious to me. I hadn’t heard of most of the spices, much less tasted them often enough to know what they were supposed to taste like. My in-laws were very patient with […]
READ MORE →It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and while I’m not Irish, it’s fun to wear green, make four-leaf clover decorations for the house, and eat lots of green food. Last year, I saw this post for green eggs and tried it out on my then-four-year-old. She actually really […]
READ MORE →This year we decided to try to grow some beets. My husband and I both love roasted beets, and we had a little room in our raised vegetable bed, so we thought we’d give beets a chance (pun intended). We planted the Bull’s Blood variety, […]
