This is a delicious, quick and nutritious breakfast. It takes just 6 minutes to assemble, which is just a couple minutes more than the instant variety. And it’s so much better!
Spinach and Beet Salad with Crispy Shallots
June 11, 2010
A few days ago I met a friend for Happy Hour at LITM. LITM does these fantastic mini martinis for $3 that are deadly if you don’t eat something before or during the consumption. Those martinis gives new meaning to the phrase “small but mighty.” Anyway, I was quite hungry when we met, and I tried a delicious spinach and beet salad with crispy onions. I thought, it was the perfect recipe to share with others. Here is my interpretation of their recipe. Quick, vegan, but so full of mouth-watering flavor. Healthy has never tasted better.
STORY In the spring and summer when the Farmer’s markets are in full swing I always have so many fruit and vegetables I’m always devising ways to eat them. One of my most recent and favorite discoveries came from a […]
Don’t tell my mother, but frozen mixed vegetables were one of the things I hated most as a child.

If I agree, I’ll do a follow-up post.) So after many, many meals involving mixed vegetables, I devised a solution.

Couscous with Chopped Nuts and Vegetables
May 18, 2010
STORY Couscous is often my go-to side dish because it takes minutes to prepare (about 10-15 minutes), and it soaks up ingredients so beautifully. I like sprinkle pistachios (or almonds), dried fruit, and chopped vegetables with cilantro over the couscous […]
Carrot and Jicama Slaw

STORY During Sean’s last visit we ate a lot of meat… a whole lot of meat. So much meat that while I was preparing our protein-heavy breakfast of lamb bacon and pheasant eggs, it dawned on me that we needed […]
(Why Aren’t You Making) Homemade Yogurt
May 12, 2010
STORY Sometimes we think things are hard when they’re not. I’d always assumed that yogurt required special aging time, like cheese, and I lived most of my life purchasing little yogurt cups, or big yogurt quarts. Guess what? Yogurt takes […]
