Culinary Creativity, a review and a giveaway!

If you followed the Healthy Lunchbox 2012 series, undoubtedly you are familiar and slightly enamored with my friend Dawn Allen’s bento boxes. I mean seriously, how cute is she?

September 13th may not mean a lot to most, but to the many who have been diagnosed with celiac disease, September 13th is a day just as important as most any other holiday.

Healthy Lunchbox 2012: Melissa Joulwan from The Clothes Make the Girl

I was first introduced to Melissa Joulwan late one night, when amid a weight-loss contest at work I decided it was high-time to make the final leap into a Paleo-centric lifestyle and wanted a cookbook that would support this effort.

Healthy Lunchbox 2012: Kate from Eat, Recycle, Repeat

My friend Kate from Eat, Recycle, Repeat loves to help others. To her, food is about more than what we eat, it is how we treat the earth and thereby treat our bodies in the process.    I love her statement, “I believe that what we put into this earth directly affects and impacts our […]

  My friend Alta from Tasty Eats at Home calls herself an amateur food photographer, but I’d doubt anyone viewing her drool worthy photography would see her photos as amateur. A fellow Texan, Alta is also gluten-free and dairy-free so I love getting to peek inside her lunchbox to see what amazing treats she prepares for […]

Healthy Lunchbox 2012: Slowcooker Paleo Eggplant Parmesan

You’ve heard me (as well as other bloggers) talk about planned-overs and how they make for great lunches. Well, sometimes lunch needs to be a prequel. Sometimes a meal is just too good to wait until dinner… When cooked overnight in a crock and you have a thermos ready to help keep it warm… Well, let’s […]
