Romaine Salad with Apricot and Arugula
Upgrade romaine salad with apricot’s sweetness and arugula’s zing. Mixing arugula, romaine, and apricots provides sweetness and zing. Even if you stop adding ingredients right there (besides dressing), you win. But we’ll continue building more layers. We toss in plenty of protein by way of K2 rich gouda, fiber and folate rich black beans, vitamin E rich raw sunflower seeds, manganese rich almonds, and tryptophan rich roast chicken. We didn’t even mention all the nutrients we get from the healthy greens themselves. Powerful salad, right?! Right. So, time for some chopping.

Pear Tea
Thank you for dandelion roots, warm spice, and all the health benefits wrapped in tastiness. Treat yourself to pear tea! Use fresh or dried pears supported by the flavors and digestive health benefits of dandelion root, caraway seeds, and ginger. I based this pear tea recipe on a pear tea I drank while in Austria. That one most likely had “natural flavors” and additives I’d rather not drink. This one doesn’t. The added ingredients in this recipe benefit our digestion. The dandelion root provides a nice bass note while the caraway seeds

Einkorn Pancakes with Fried Eggs and Blackberries
Einkorn pancakes with fried eggs and blackberries—a healthy sweet and savory breakfast combo! My parents occasionally took us out to breakfast on weekends back in the day. Most of the time I chose French toast or something savory like a cheeseburger—a difficult choice. Do I want savory or sweet? Most of the time savory wins for me (at breakfast, I’m all in on dessert.) But, why not eat both? With this breakfast we get both sweet and savory—and best of all a hearty, mostly healthy breakfast fit for the holidays, weekends, and
