Ingredients:
- 2 small sweet potatoes
- 3 oz. crumbled Feta or Goat
- 1/2 tsp. finely minced garlic
- pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tsp. olive oil/ ghee/ grass fed butter
- ground Sumac for serving or you can use smoked paprika)
- chives or cilantro to top
- sea salt to taste
What to do:
- Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350F. Wash sweet potatoes, place in oven and bake 50-60 minutes, or until the sweet potato is easily pierced with a fork.
- While sweet potatoes are cooking, crumble the cheese into a bowl. Mix in minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, olive oil/butter and spices and let the feta mixture marinate in the fridge while the sweet potatoes bake. (If you don’t have all those spices I would substitute anything that tastes good with feta such as a little dried oregano or some chopped fresh mint or basil.)
- When you can stick a fork through the sweet potatoes, remove from oven and cut a section of the top off. Scoop out most of the inside of each sweet potato and add it to the cheese mixture. Use a spoon to fill the sweet potato skins with the mixture, then divide the rest of the cheese between the sweet potatoes, piling it on top.
- Put sweet potatoes back in the roasting pan and put in the oven for 10-15 minutes more, just until the cheese has started to melt. Serve hot, sprinkled with Sumac and herbs if desired and with salt and fresh ground black pepper to season at the table.
Figs are full of fiber which you probably knew from the crunchiness in the seeds that fill them. They also have a high amount of potassium which helps with blood pressure. Figs are a great dessert alternative because of their natural sweetness. I like to put them on top of Greek Yogurt for breaky or just alone as a snack with some nuts.

Well we started out wanting to make chicken lettuce wraps from a recipe we saw in my new book I got for xmas from a good friend, "true food" written by Andrew Weil, MD which I highly recommend. The book is seasonal, sustainable and really simple. When looking in the freezer I realized I still had a present from a good friend in Mexico.. I had been waiting for a good group of people to indulge in this special treat with me.

Pears ripen off the tree, so most of the fruit you’ll find at the market will need a few days to soften at home. Buy specimens that are smooth, free of bruises, and firm. An unripe pear has a bright and shiny skin; a ripe one looks matte. Common varieties include Anjou, which is egg-shaped with a green, rose-tinged green, or red skin; Bosc, which has a slender neck and a brown skin; Bartlett, which has a red skin or a green skin that yellows as it ripens; and Comice, a short, green to brown variety.

Chia inventions were the theme of yesterday. I was getting wild with those nutritionally dense little seeds! If you want to learn more about them click HERE. What makes chia seeds perfect for this raw jam is their ability to absorb almost 10 times their weight in water and create a kind of gel-like consistency (it’s also what makes them a great substitute for eggs in lots of recipes!). This recipe is awesome because it is hard to make jam without using a thickening agent. Thank god chia forms a gelatinous gel!

Do you ever eat a couple of handfuls full of cashews or a few tablespoons of a nut butter and wonder why it feels as though you dropped a bowling ball in your stomach? It’s because nuts that have not been soaked contain enzyme inhibitors that can cause uncomfortable digestion.
