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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Sautéed Apple Power Bowl Recipe
I met my husband's grandmother, who is now 103 years old and going strong, about 30 years ago. She had a habit of drinking only hot water all day. No lemon or lime or juice added. Just plain hot water. I don't know what possessed me to follow her lead, but I did and I never looked back. I drink ...
Yerba Mate Cacao and Mint Tonic
Over the last few years, I've become a little addicted to my morning tonic ritual. It's a little like a moving meditation where I take a few minutes and focus on the steps of brewing my tea, adding in whatever powders I crave and slowly sip my warm concoction. I think you know I don't drink ...
Gingerbread Pancakes Recipe
Nothing says December, winter, or Christmas to me quite like gingerbread anything. I love, love, love all those warming spices - the more, the better. I find the combination of cinnamon, cloves, and ginger to be intoxicating. Every year I either teach or post a new gingerbread-flavored recipe. I ...
Jeweled Rice Recipe
'Tis the season for show-stopping recipes and I am bringing you another favorite (after last week's whole roasted cauliflower.) This one is inspired by the Persian "Jeweled Rice," aka Javaher Polow. As I understand it, Jeweled Rice is usually served at weddings, big family gatherings and even for ...
Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Sauce, Raisins, Hazelnuts and Green Herbs
I love a showstopping dish for a holiday meal, whether it is a gorgeous and overflowing cheeseboard, a giant colorful salad brimming with jewel-toned, seasonal produce, a big, impressive dessert, or basically anything that makes my guests say "oooooh!" The trick is to make that recipe be ...
Vegan Lentil Shepherd’s Pie Recipe
I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving and that you enjoyed every moment with your loved ones. The food took a backseat to the time I spent with my three kids and my husband, as well as family and friends. Don't get me wrong, I love a delicious feast, but I was beyond grateful that we were all ...
