Chickpea Salad With Roasted Red Pepper and Harissa

February 10, 2010

Spicy harissa is something that’s been on my “must try list” for a while now. I finally got my hands on some yesterday and I am so glad I did: I think this chickpea salad with roasted red pepper and harissa is terrific!

Guacamole And More Superbowl Snack Ideas

February 5, 2010

It’s Superbowl weekend and everyone seems to be posting their favorite Superbowl snacks.
Mind you I have zero interest in football. Maybe less than zero (if that’s possible). I wasn’t even sure who’s playing until I looked it up 5 minutes ago.
That being said, I am interested in the snacks. So whether I watch the [...]

Spicy Crispy Kale with Lime

February 3, 2010

I’m a huge fan of kale. If you follow this blog, you know that I include kale in my recipes, from soups to smoothies, all the time. It’s so very good for you, with all those bone building minerals in particular, that I just can’t help loving it.
So it’s no surprise to see kale [...]

When my friend Holly Shelowitz posted her favorite green smoothie recipe on Facebook, I wanted to try it immediately. I did…and I loved it.
Holly is holistic nutritionist. We only just met a few months ago, but we have so much in common that it feels like I’ve known her much longer. She and I share [...]

Meyer Lemon Pudding (Mostly Raw and Vegan)

January 18, 2010

When I found Meyer lemons at my local Hannaford’s market last week, I did a little happy dance.

I’ve been hoping they’d show up in my area for many weeks now, ever since I saw this Meyer lemon tart recipe over at Food52.
Meyer lemons are said to be a cross between a lemon (the most common [...]

Baby Spinach Salad with Toasted Hazelnuts, Pear, and Parmesan

January 15, 2010

I’m sort of a salad freak. I’ll put pretty much anything in a salad, and I rarely make exactly the same salad twice. Here’s a new one that I just love.

I love the mild flavor of baby spinach as well as the simplicity of using it- there is no chopping required. And as far as [...]

Gluten-Free Coffee Almond Cookies

January 5, 2010

This recipe for gluten-free coffee almond cookies is ridiculously easy, and the results are ridiculously good.

These are made with no flour at all, so they don’t contain gluten (or empty calories, for that matter). Ground almonds take the place of the flour, so they’ve got lots of nutrients and fiber. They are also quite [...]

New Year’s Resolution Ochazuke

January 1, 2010

Happy New Year! I hope you had as nice and restful a week as I did.

I don’t generally venture into resolution territory, but this year I decided I really need to do something about my “breakfast problem”. For several reasons (the main ones being that I am not generally hungry first thing in the morning [...]
