TWIST Eats: Creamy Red Lentil and Kale Soup(er) Soup
Last Sunday, I hosted a little birthday dinner for my beautiful Momma. Of course, in typical crazy-life style, the day was packed with commitments and I didn’t have a huge block of time to cook. Momma loves lentil soup, so I decided to try one of our “Healthy Recipes with a TWIST” pins on Pinterest — Creamy Red Lentil and Kale Soup.

TWIST Eats: Don’t Doubt Kraut!
Sometimes I get a wild hair and actually try to cook something I pin on Pinterest. This weekend, said wild hair cropped up, and I whipped up a batch of probiotic-filled Sauerkraut. And it’s not even Octoberfest.
February Twist of the Month - Prayer Twist
After a season filled with indulgences, holiday parties and family, one of the best ways to get rid of excess stress and toxins is by practicing deep, detoxifying twists. Prayer Twist will rinse away your post-holiday stress and help get you on the road to a healthy 2015.
TWIST Eats – Tater Bar
On Mondays, in keeping with #meatlessmonday, I often turn to the tried and true baked potato bar. It’s sweet taters or yams for Mark and I, and good ol’ fashion starchy russets for the kiddos. It’s easy, fairly nutritious, gluten free, and makes everyone happy.
