Healthier for the Planet, Healthier for You!
Welcome to
Gen's Guiltless Gourmet
Hi Everyone! Welcome to my kitchen!
My passion is food. I also understand how important it is to stay fit and healthy. So I have taken my favorite recipes from around the world and made them healthier. I use ingredient substitutions and creative cooking methods to turn even the most decadent recipes into "guiltless" gourmet.
I also care a great deal about the well-being of our planet and I make the effort to use eco-friendly products. I buy organic, shop local as often as possible, and search out exciting vegetarian options.
Whether you are looking to lose weight, make healthy choices, or go green, join me on Gen's Guiltless Gourmet. You can find the recipes for each episode right here on the website, and check out "Shop Green" for links to restaurants, stores, even eco-friendly fashion and cosmetics!
You can also watch recipe videos on YouTube here!
To a healthier planet and a healthier you!
Cheers!
Gen

Talking With Lightlife at the Natural Products Expo West
In March, I went to the Natural Products Expo West. I had the chance to speak with the good folks of Lightlife about their new products for 2012, including grill-able veggie dogs - just in time for your Memorial Day celebrations!
I really love having planet-friendly, vegan options for old favorites like hot dogs and burgers.
But what I really love about Lightlife is how they've gotten involved in urban farming initiatives across the country, to help end hunger through community gardens.
Make sure to visit Lightlife's website for more information about all their products, where you can buy them, and about their urban farming initiatives.

SMALL CHANGE
If you switched your hamburger patty for a veggie burger only once a week, you would save nearly 8000 calories a year (that's over 2lbs of body weight) and 1600mg of cholesterol!
