No Sugar Added Olive Oil Harvest Cake
Olive Oil Harvest Cake is the perfect recipe to celebrate fall being just around the corner. To be fair, I like this No Sugar added Olive Oil Harvest Cake so much that I made it for my very summer August birthday. Living in Sicily, making this delicious cake is no easy feat in the summer. […]
Mediterranean Diet Chicken Shish Kebobs
Mediterranean Diet Chicken Shish Kebobs is the perfect easy summertime dinner. Since moving to Sicily, these grilled chicken and vegetables kebobs are one of my go-to mouthwatering, deliciously healthy recipes.

How to Make Healthy, Crispy, Chewy, Delicious Granola Clusters
After several attempts, I can finally say I know how to make healthy, crispy, chewy, delicious granola clusters.

Olive Oil Molasses Cookie Recipe
I love to make this Olive Oil Molasses Cookie Recipe in the colder months. It is the perfect Mediterranean Diet cookie. My Sweetheart, Mark, does not feel it is Christmas without a Christmas cookie. Now that we are on the Mediterranean Diet, we no longer care for the overly sugary-sprinkled-saturated-fat-filled cookies from our past. Spicy, […]

Green Shakshuka: Israeli Style Eggs
I love green eggs, or should I say eggs cooked in greens as in Green Shakshuka Israeli Style Eggs.
