Detox After The Holidays

Una Baker | January 4, 2016

I know I have the desire to cleanse after splurging through the holiday season. I believe we can do this and still enjoy amazing gourmet delights without succumbing to the juice phase we see on every other street corner and read in every other trending diet articles.

Here are a few I just created for our New Years Eve party!

More to come:)

May 2016 be filled with love, health, good food, great workouts and a stress free mind!


MUSHROOM PATE TAPAS – 12 servings
2 heads of baby romaine – clean and separate
1 head of red endive – clean and separate
24 mixed mushrooms – cremini, porcini or chanterelle – clean and slice
3 cloves garlic – minced
2 tsp. ancho powder
12 sun dried tomatoes – preferably fresh from your local Italian market
48 sage leaves
1 can cannellini beans
Parmesan cheese
Red chili flakes
Salt n pepper
Balsamic vinegar

Sauté mushrooms and garlic on medium heat for 10 – 15 minutes

Clean and dry sage leaves. Heat cast iron pan and lightly coat with olive oil. Place sage leaves individually in pan and cook until crisp. Remove and place on a paper towel.
