Tried my hand at an edible poinsettia-definitely a challenging shape. At least it's loaded with Vitamin C.

Okay, avocado, we know you're a star - but hummus toast is just as delicious. Just add hard boiled eggs or beets & carrots!

I'm getting into the Thanksgiving spirit by making a little food art. You can make Tom the Turkey too by coring and quartering a few bell peppers and getting crafty with your paring knife. More holiday ideas coming soon!

Hi Friends--if this election has you feeling as antsy as I do, you probably need a healthy snack to grab for some stress eating while you watch the results roll in tonight. Popcorn always hits the spot and has a satisfying crunch. If you want to kick up the flavor level, make my Truffled Popcorn (makes 4 servings):

12 cups hot popped popcorn
2 tablespoons truffle oil
.5 teaspoon sea salt

Place the popcorn in a large bowl. Drizzle it with the truffle oil, sprinkle with the salt, and toss. Provide tongs so guests can fill their bowls with popcorn. WARNING: It's addictive!

It's just one week until Halloween and I can't stop myself from getting into the spooky spirit. I made some pumpkin spice pancakes, then cut them out with a bat cookie cutter to make this fun, edible display. Happy Haunting!
