Healthy Mashed Celery Root
Celeriac, also simply called celery root, is an unusual vegetable, one that you rarely see in cookbooks or on restaurant menus. Though, I do think it’s growing in popularity, and I suspect we’ll start to see much more of it within the health food community soon due to its great nutritional profile. Admittedly, celery root…
Mango Turmeric Ginger Smoothie
I love making smoothies on days that I feel like I need an extra boost of fruits and veggies.
