This stew was an innocent dinner last week. I saw my friend Leanne post a photo of this stew on her Instagram feed and it looked delicious, vegan, flavorful, easy, everything I like and the way my family eats. She mentioned she found the recipe in the NY Times. Well, what she didn't tell me was ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 25th, 2019
Happy Spring! This is a wonderful time of year. It is Nature's New Year, a fresh start, a rebirth, a time to clean the slate (and everything else.) If 2019 didn't get off to a good start, now's the time to set new intentions. The universe is listening. :) For my friends in Orange County and ...
Fudgy Black Bean Brownies with Chocolate Ganache
When I taught this black bean brownie recipe in February of 2009 (yes, 10 years ago!), the idea was trending so much that I thought the recipe would get lost in all the black bean brownie hysteria. But just like fashion, sometimes trends make a comeback or sometimes when you take something out of ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 18th, 2019
Happy weekend, friends! For those of you in LA or Orange County, I will be doing a free cooking demonstration at the GORGEOUS Rogers Gardens in Corona del Mar on Sunday, March 17th at 10:00 am. They also have lots of my cookbooks for purchase and I will stay after the demonstration to sign copies. ...
Raw Tacos Recipe
I need you to be open-minded about this one. ;) First off, by "raw tacos" I do not mean raw animal protein. That would be ridiculous and awful. I mean a raw, plant-based taco-like mixture that is super quick and easy to prep, healthy and, I think, delicious! ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 11th, 2019
This was the first year in a while that I have not gone to Expo West, the gigantic natural foods show which is happening right now in Anaheim. Truthfully, the show is so overwhelming with about 90,000 people (not an exaggeration) and it's all packaged food. It's not to say that there can't be ...
Anti-Microbial Spiced Chai Recipe
I promise this is the last time I will complain about the weather. But really, for LA, this rain and sub-60 degree temperatures are cramping my style. I want my money back! I am drinking more hot water and tea than ever to stay warm and relying on more cooked food than raw. I know that spices ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 4th, 2019
This week starts the beginning of Lent which means I will try to remember to include a fish or vegetarian meal on Fridays. My mom used to ask us kids to give up one thing during Lent and we would always to try to be sneaky and pick things we didn't care about, like milk or bananas. She was onto ...
Sugar Snap Pea and Quinoa Salad with Tofu
I saw sugar snap peas at the farmers market for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I immediately bought them without thinking twice. I am crazy for these crunchy, sweet pods and I often snack on them plain or dip them into hummus or a basic vinaigrette. The season for local sugar snap peas ...
Dinner Planner – Week of February 25th, 2019
Someone commented on my Instagram feed the other day after I posted cauliflower in three different colors, that winter was her favorite season for produce. Huh. I've never thought that before, but there is so much bounty even in winter. I don't buy summer goods in the winter because that would ...
Herbed Hasselback Sweet Potatoes Recipe
To hasselback a potato (or anything for that matter) means to slice it in an accordian style so that the slices fan out resulting in crispy edges and soft interiors. You can stuff anything you want in between the slices or nothing at all, but the results are absolutely delish. I love sweet ...
