RAINBOW FILET BEAN MILLET SALAD
Like quinoa and buckwheat, millet is gluten-free and is considered a seed. It’s most known as a component to birdseed, but millet is not just for the birds! It’s part of the grass family and is one of the earliest cultivated cereals dating back to 2800 BC. It was a dominant food crop – originating…
SPICY TEMPEH TACOS
When I have nothing planned for dinner, it’s taco night. This variation was inspired by my CSA bag with summer squash, carmen green peppers and cipollini onions. Tempeh is a great substitute here for meat. I’m a fan of plant-based protein sources like this fermented soy option. However, eat soy in moderation and look for…
SWEET N SOUR KALE QUINOA SALAD
There’s something about this salad that keeps me coming back to it over and over again. I’ve made some variation of this salad almost every week for the past several years and it never disappoints. I think it’s the sweet and sour combination that really appeals to me, a flavor profile I’ve been obsessed with…
ZUCCHINI AND SOBA NOODLE SALAD
“This is really good!”, said my 8-year old after his first bite. This dish was unanimously liked by every member of my family. When does that happen? The bold and super tasty flavors are based on an Amy Chaplin recipe from her book, At Home in The Whole Food Kitchen. I adapted this recipe to…
REFRESHING QUINOA SALAD
“I love this quinoa salad for summer. It’s so refreshing!”, said my 10-year old daughter. If she endorses it, you must try it! She is my pickier eater for sure. She usually begrudgingly eats anything with quinoa very very slowly and with much unwelcome commentary. It may be an exceptional salad or it may be…
GOOD COLD WEATHER SOUP
It’s super warm and sunny. It’s super cold and snowing over a foot! You never know what you’re going to get these days with the weather. During that cold snowy spell, I hunkered down and made soups. Soups are generally a crowd pleaser in my family. I tend to make a big batch and freeze…
ARTICHOKE ASPARAGUS FARRO SALAD
It sure is warm out there – make it feel more like spring with this great transitional recipe! Asparagus, an early spring vegetable, begets warmer weather (for me anyway). It’s also incredibly nutrient dense and packed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s considered a diuretic promoting urine production, which helps with edema, ridding your body…
ROASTED BEETS & BRUSSELS SPROUT FARRO
Farro is one of those grains that I really enjoy, particularly during cold weather months. It’s a great option for grain bowls due to its nutty deep flavor and hearty texture. Â Is farro a new grain to you? You’re not alone. Considered an ancient grain, farro was once popular centuries ago, but by the early…
TEMPEH TACOS
Tacos are a real crowd-pleaser in my family. They are a great way to appeal to the many tastes and preferences among family members. I often make a bunch of different options and let everyone assemble their own tacos! When it comes to picky eaters, this method helps give them the power of choice, while…
