7 Favorite Mediterranean Soup Recipes
Don't you love it when a food is both a comfort food and good for you? I know I do because I feel fine eating a little extra even if I'm already full. Mediterranean soups are totally in this category. What you'll notice about Mediterranean soups is that they contain beans, legumes, dark leafy greens, herbs, and lots of vegetables.
Kitchen Gifts for the Seriously Busy Person
Do you know someone who loves to cook but they don't have the time? I wouldn't be able to cook delicious Mediterranean meals every day without the use of my favorite culinary gadgets. The way I see it, spending a few hundreds dollars on time saving tools saves me thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars because I cook more at home and eat out less (and I eat much healthier at home). Eating the Mediterranean Diet is easy when you have the right recipes and the right equipment.
12 Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes
One of the reasons I love Thanksgiving so much is its predictability of dishes that will delight my taste buds and fill my belly. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean and sweet potato casseroles and cranberry sauce are always on the table (even at my vegetarian Aunt Sydna's Thanksgiving table). Traditional recipes withstanding, I still love to prepare a few Mediterranean dishes every year and I find they are always well received alongside the Turkey and gravy. I hope you enjoy these healthy Thanksgiving recipes that may even create some new traditions in the years to come.

Does Olive Oil Go Bad?
Does olive oil go bad? The simple answer is yes, but it takes time and chances are you will use it long before it's actually turned. I have only seen it happen once and it was olive oil I had given to my Mom. She opened it up, put it in the fridge and never used it. Three years later, I opened it because I was going to cook something and found that it had gone rancid.
