Super Cranberry Orange Granola
I’m always playing with different granola recipes to find one like this super cranberry orange granola, that’s yummy, crunch and really healthy. I recently went to the bulk bins in a Wholefoods store and “sampled” a bunch of their “healthy” granolas – in my opinion, they were at best, absolutely tasteless. Since homemade granola is […]
Spinach Feta One Pot Pie
I love this spinach feta one pot pie so much that I make it as least once every two weeks. It’s a one-pot version of a Spanokopita, but so much more delicious and healthy because I use less pasty. If you have a small cast iron pan like the one pictured, I highly recommend using […]
Easy Plant-Based Apple Strudel
Now is apple season and I’ll never turn down an Easy Plant-Based Apple Strudel. With the holidays coming up, I’m all about cutting corners, while still creating seriously healthy dishes. The corner-cutter in this case was a box of whole wheat puff pastry, which pained me beyond measure to buy, because it was so expensive […]
Wild Mushroom Penne
This is the perfect time of year to cook up some earthy, meaty wild mushroom penne. This dish is one of my husband’s signature dishes. He doesn’t cook very often but when he does, it’s one of his three signature creations and I’m not allowed near the kitchen, which is excruciating as I’m a […]
Chickpea Fritters with Lemony Dip
I love Greek food, particularly a good falafel, however, a really tasty one is hard to find. There’s a great Lebanese restaurant in LA called Marroush and they make the best homemade falafels I’ve ever tasted – crispy on the outside and soft & crumbly in the center. They are the inspiration for these Chickpea […]
Spicy Bean Orzo Soup
I love this Spicy Bean Orzo Soup. Today was a depressingly gray Saturday and my daughter was in a total funk as a result of mommy making her sit at the kitchen table and do more homework than she had in mind before going off for an afternoon of ballet rehearsal. I decided she […]
Rich Tea Bread
This is a wonderfully rich tea bread, that you and your family will go nuts over. As many of you know I’m a tea addict and aside from drinking it, I love to cook with it, particularly in cakes in cookies. I made a couple of loaves because it not only freezes well, but is also […]
Alkalizing Salad
Having just read all Dr. John Douillard’s info on the importance of alkalizing our systems before winter really sets in, I decided to put together a seasonal salad, which included as many of the top alkalizing ingredients as I could find. The result was so delicious that I’ve been eating it for lunch every day […]
Blackberry Pear Crisp
This blackberry pear crisp is absolutely delectable. My farm box arrived last week with loads of sweet potatoes and pears. The lazy part of me was annoyed as I had to use them all up (can’t bear to waste anything,) and the creative part of me was thrilled because I had to figure out a […]
KABOCHA SQUASH RISOTTO
When I saw the first leaves turning last week and felt a slight early morning chill in the air, I immediately had a yearning for a comforting risotto. Risotto is one of my favorite recipes to make because it’s so therapeutic. My mother who taught me how to make a pretty good one, never ceases […]
