Healthier & Happier Living with a Plant-Based Diet
One of my favorite things is green juice. With the right combination of ingredients, green juice is like nothing else ~ pure nutrition, instant energy and total freshness. One of my favorite juices is incredibly simple - kale, romaine, apple, ginger and lemon. Red apples are good, as are green ones. If you don't have… Continue reading Green green juice
This week has definitely been made for grilling. Lots of raw foods, but the little bit of cooking that I did needed to be outside of the house. And corn on the cob is one of those things that I try to do often during the summer, especially when it can be grilled. To add… Continue reading Cilantro-Lime Grilled Corn on the Cob
Here I am again with something completely unlike me. I have to admit, I'm not one to mix citrus fruits with much else besides other fruits, juices, and smoothies. But lately, I've been seeing lots of recipes online mixing citrus with strange (to me) things - grapefruit in wraps, oranges in sandwiches and such. I… Continue reading Citrusy Spring Rolls
This smoothie was actually a surprise for me ~ I had no idea it was going to turn out as good as it did. This morning I was craving something with lots of greens that would be light and cool, but discovered that the fridge was rather low on greens. What I found was a… Continue reading Refreshing Green Smoothie
Back on the 4th of July... Hopefully to return to posting with some regularity 🙂 Today we had our 4th of July barbecue with some amazing food. My main contribution was something I have wanted to make for a while now ~ (vegan) Daiya-cheese stuffed jalapeno tempeh burgers. And they were amazing... The grilled burgers… Continue reading Daiya-stuffed Jalapeno Tempeh Burgers
I have a new favorite breakfast, and that's really saying something since I've never been much of a breakfast eater. For the past couple of years, there have been many recipes for Overnight Oats around the blogs - Angela has lots of variations on Oh She Glows. Ever since I saw the recipe, I've loved… Continue reading My New Favorite Breakfast
I've been looking for another form for tempeh recently and settled on tempeh meatballs. Easy to make, not too many ingredients and very tasty. In one shape or another, I can tell this recipe will become one of my staples. It was a very simple combination of ingredients - 2 packages of tempeh, 3 cloves… Continue reading Tempeh meatballs
Over the past few days, I've started experimenting more with oil- and salt-free recipes (with no added sweeteners) ~ rather than making a blanket (so to speak) of oil- and salt-based flavors, this is a great opportunity to really experience the flavors of the food. The pesto came about from an abundance of basil to… Continue reading Oil-Free Pesto Grilled Veggies
Today I decided to experiment with a variation on a plain dal recipe and add some kale and sun-dried tomatoes for some color and nutrients. I started by cooking 2 cups of dal in 4 cups of water. I used about half red lentils and, when I ran out of that, half channa dal. I… Continue reading Dal with Kale and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sorry for the lapse in posting... it's been a crazy week. In addition to the usual busyness, I also started a nutrition program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which I am loving so far. It will definitely give tons of wonderful information. On many (most?) food blogs, the recipes are tested and retested before… Continue reading The Banana Pancakes that Weren’t
