Cooking is one of my deep joys. The food I eat has changed over the years. I’ve gone off gluten, eat very little processed sugar, and have been eating “clean” for the most part. While that may sound like depravation to some, I see it as a creative challenge! Unwilling to give up flavor, I’ve come to love the taste of fresh natural foods, vibrant spices, healthy oils, and herbs galore.

Enjoy conventional recipes from my eat-everything days, vegetarian recipes from those seasons of my life, and a lot of really healthy, fun recipes that taste better than you’d believe, given how nutritious they really are!

Vegetarian Curry

This was a hit with friends of mine! It takes time but is worth the effort and lasts well in the fridge. Curry paste and coconut milk make a wonderful base for a combination of veggies, meat, and beans.

Ann’s Healthy “Birdseed” Granola Bars

I need protein when I hike so I made up these wonderful nut and seed bars that taste great, pack easily, and pack a nutritional punch. You can substitute all sorts of nuts, seeds, dried fruits, or "glues" of your choice - aka syrup, nut butters, etc., to change the flavor.
