1/28 Festival Salad

Happy Meatless Monday. I have a salad to share that is ridiculously easy to prepare, features the floral sweetness of Meyer Lemons and the health benefits of Kelp. You are going to love this one. Last week I fell in love with a salad from the Whole Foods Market deli called Detox Salad. It was a simple […]

8/27 Kale Chop Salad with Plums and Almonds

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 […]

6/25 Lemon & Parsley Fava Spread

Photo by: S. Duquet Happy Meatless Monday. I have a  unique spread recipe to share with you. Created from fava beans, it is nutty, as green as a crayon and insanely good for you. Over the weekend I found fresh fava beans at the market. I had never purchased or eaten them before so I […]

5/16 Shaved Brussels w/ Peaches and Almonds

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 […]

3/28 Parsley Cashew Pesto

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 […]

3/14 White Bean Kalamata Dip

Thank you friends for your patience and kind wishes as we heal from the loss of our Sparky dog. We have hardly cooked since last week and creating new recipes has felt tantamount to scaling Mount Everest. Creative expression takes a level of energy our household just has not had until last night. I created […]

2/22 Louisiana Style Red Beans and Rice

In honor of Mardi Gras I wanted to share a recipe for Louisiana style Red Beans and Rice. Here is a slice of Mardi Gras info from History.com to whet your appetite. On Mardi Gras in 1827, a group of students donned colorful costumes and danced through the streets of New Orleans, emulating the revelry […]

1/11 Endive Berry Salad

I am smitten with endive. I used to avoid them because I thought they were pale and creepy.  They are grown entirely in the dark which gives them that snow white complexion. Once they are exposed to light they begin their descent into bitterness. They are tightly bound like the protective bud of a rose. […]

12/29 Going Green Part Deux-Greening Your Stir Fry

As veg interested,  food loving people…I would imagine you all have your favorite, go-to stir fry recipes. I have a mental grocery list of things that I need to have when contemplating a stir fry meal. There are also those times when our refrigerator is full of things that are only linked by the simple […]

12/19 Happy Meatless Monday-Giving Good Things

Happy Meatless Monday. It is going to be a delicious week. Yesterday I spent the entire day creating vegan  gift baskets for our friends and family. It was truly divine. We have always given edible gifts, but now they are all vegan and I think that is cool. I made two kinds of hummus, hand […]
