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 ...
Dinner Planner – Week of February 18th, 2019
Brrrrrr!!!! I've heard from many of you recently that you are having quite the winter. Even LA has been unseasonably chilly (and wet.) I don't know why 50 degrees here feels much colder than 50 degrees in NY. Is there a logical explanation for this? I have retreated to Palm Springs for the long ...
Curried Lentil, Tomato and Coconut Soup
I've become soft. That's what my East Coast family and friends tell me. LA has had an unusally cold and rainy winter and I can't get warm. By "cold," I mean below 60 degrees, but above 40 degrees. I know my friends in the midwest have NO sympathy for me. I wouldn't either. But what to do if ...
Dinner Planner – Week of February 11th, 2019
Coming off the most boring Super Bowl I can remember, the rest of the week seemed downright exciting. I debuted a new menu in my cooking classes this week and filmed this class for my online class platform. Speaking of which, I am going live on Facebook on Saturday at 9:30 am PST if you are a ...
Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes Recipe
Desserts, as opposed to healthful, naturally sweetened snacks, aren't a regular thing around here. My family never got used to dessert after dinner. We didn't do it when I was growing up, so it didn't happen when I had my own family. If someone wants something sweet after dinner, there's always ...
Dinner Planner – Week of February 4th, 2019
Football is really the only professional sport I enjoy watching, so I am hoping for a great game on Sunday. I will be rooting for LA, of course! I am making a nice big crudites platter so that I don't eat a thousand calories in chips and guacamole before I serve chili at halftime. I've learned my ...
Super Bowl Green Chile and Cheese Cornbread
I'm not sure why chili seems to be one of the most popular foods to serve on Super Bowl Sunday. I suppose in most parts of the country it is very cold out (sending warm thoughts your way Chicago and neighboring cities/states!), so chili is a perfect cozy dish. And the Super Bowl is a pretty long ...
Dinner Planner – Week of January 28th, 2019
Hello, lovelies! I had a great week back teaching classes again. But even better is the quick weekend getaway happening right now in Park City. My son has a long weekend from school, so my daughters decided to meet up with us here. Nothing better for me. I don't even care that it's too cold and ...
Grain-free Seed Crackers Recipe
I'm conflicted writing about a recipe that comes from a book about detoxing and cleansing since I do neither. But I do like Gwyneth Paltrow's taste in food and her style of cooking, so I knew I would find something delicious and healthy in her new book, The Clean Plate. Just to be upfront, GOOP ...
Dinner Planner – Week of January 21st, 2019
People, I am toast. Excited, thrilled, elated, but I need the weekend for some serious downtime. I just spent the last 9 days straight shooting my entire next cookbook. It is going to be fabulous and I know you are going to absolutely love it. I can't divulge the theme or much else, but know ...
What are Shirataki Noodles and How do you Prepare Them?
As a cooking instructor and holistic health counselor, it's part of my job to keep up with food trends and diets. They are constantly changing and some can be a little extreme. I know I sound like a broken record, but I do not believe that there is only one best diet out there. The most important ...
