As many of you know, my husband adopted a plant-based diet a year ago. He was the biggest carnivore, cheese and ice cream eater who I never thought in a MILLION years would give up animal products. He happened to watch a documentary about people going plant-based and weaning off their medications, ...
Everyday Turmeric Chicken
I grew up with very limited exposure to flavor profiles outside of Italian food and "American" food, e.g. burgers and hot dogs. I was very interested in learning more, but we didn't eat out much and I didn't have too many resources for recipes. We had a lot of variety in pasta shapes and diversity ...
Dinner Planner – Week of October 9th, 2018
My younger daughter just came home for the weekend. It's fall break and I am so excited to have her with us for a few days. She's been cooking in her apartment at school but has already announced that she is so happy that I will be cooking all her meals for the next few days! LOL. It's nice to ...
Pumpkin Spice Yerba Mate Latte
When I was at Trader Joe's a few weeks ago and spotted the first pumpkins of the season, I felt conflicted. Why rush it? I feel like school has barely gotten going. To me, pumpkins signify Halloween, which means Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we all know what comes after that! I ...
Dinner Planner – Week of October 1st, 2018
Good gracious, it's already October on Monday! If you've struggled getting back into a cooking routine, start small. Commit to cooking one or two days a week. I've said it before and I'll say it again - we have to cook from scratch as much as possible with unrefined foods if we want to ...
Mejadra Rice with Lentils, Greek Yogurt, and Shallots Recipe
Rice and lentils are two of my favorite foods, but I love them even more when they're paired together. I was on a Mejadra kick the last few weeks and loved every bite. Mejadra is a Middle Eastern-Mediterranean dish of rice and lentils cooked with warming spices (not spicy) and topped with fried ...
Dinner Planner – Week of September 24th, 2018
What a week! It was all good stuff, as they say, but I am sure happy it's the weekend. Between the Jewish holiday I hosted for 26 very hungry people + 2 local tv segments that will air next week + my segment on Hallmark's Home & Family (which you can catch here) + 2 cooking classes, I am toast! ...
Cucumber-Hummus-Turkey Roll-ups
It's so nice to be back in a routine, isn't it? This time of year for me means regular mealtimes, a little healthier eating (watermelon, olives and rosè no longer count as a dinner), meal prep on Sundays, and making school lunches. I will admit, school lunches throw me since my son doesn't eat the ...
Dinner Planner – Week of September 17th, 2018
I have another busy week this week. I am taping a couple segments with KABC Los Angeles on Monday and then on Tuesday I am taping Hallmark's Home & Family Show. I believe that airs the next day, Wednesday, September 19th. Yom Kippur is Wednesday and that's one of the holidays I always host. ...
Dinner Planner – Week of September 10th, 2018
I have done this before where I forget about the first night of Rosh Hashana when posting my dinner planner because it's not a holiday I host. Ooops! I do host a luncheon after services on the first day of the holiday which is this Monday. I always do a 3-4 basic roast chickens with some room ...
Easy Chinese Chicken
My friend Lisa Leake of 100DaysofRealFood.com just came out with her THIRD book and I couldn't be more excited to share a recipe with you. Her new book is called "100 Days of Real Food on a Budget" and it has the same mission as her other two books and her site which is to highlight why and how ...
