The last time we were in Atlanta my Mother-in-Law whipped up a batch of Zesty Horseradish Humus. We ate it on everything in sight, including sandwiches. I thought I would give it a go and this is what I came up with. I used prepared horseradish from a jar instead of making it from scratch, [...]

You know how some weeks are busier than others…this has been one of those busier weeks. Last night I found myself standing in the kitchen at 8 o’clock , starving, unmoved and totally uninspired by anything edible. I wanted to eat the rest of the papaya in the fridge and call it a night, but [...]

Recently I have been enjoying a more minimalistic way of eating than I am used to. It has been food, more simply. When I cook at home I treat our spice cabinet like a supermarket sweep and go crazy. I love spices, I love herbs and honestly, I love the challenge to combine them all. [...]

Happy Meatless Monday. I have found that making one dish that we can enjoy several times makes it much easier to eat healthy, meatless meals even when I am in the middle of a harried week or weekend. On Saturday in the middle of a seven hour volunteer shift with our animal shelter, I came [...]

I love Brussel sprouts. I love their hearty texture and pungent flavor. I really like the huge stalk they grow on and that they look like miniature cabbage. It seems like they are a polarizing edible, either you are a lover of the Brussel or an adversary. This dish could bring you to the dark side [...]

Sometimes I crave green food. This seems implied from someone living a vegan lifestyle but it really isn’t. When I came home from work last night feeling dejected and sulky, I polished off a bag of pita chips then fell into a deep carbohydrate induced nap. When I woke up several hours later I had [...]
