I have had sooooo many questions about my quarantine mocktail, and I have written this out sooooo many times in response to many, many DM’s that I figured it was more efficient to create a post so that it would have a place to live forever.Continue reading
This is probably my favorite weeknight chicken dish. I love rice. I love Mediterranean flavors. Sometimes I eat a couple bites of the chicken, sometimes I do chickpeas instead. It’s fast, easy and super tasty. I recently taught this recipe live on a zoom class and I cooked it in real time with all the participants. It was a huge hit!Continue reading
Since our diet is predominantly plant-based, we focus most of our meals around vegetables and legumes. By legumes, I mean beans, lentils and peas. This group is my go-to protein and I aim to vary the sources as much as I can. There are so many kinds of beans out there, from the common black, pinto, garbanzo (aka chickpeas) to heirloom varieties that are less widely seen. There are also so many different types of lentils – different colors, some split, different sizes, etc.Continue reading

Very exciting news! I am re-launching my Plant Based Bootcamp in January 2021!! This was by far my most popular 4-week course of last year which I taught several times to rave reviews. So much so that I am developing a Plant Based 2.0 for February. If you didn’t get into the Plant Based Bootcamp last year, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE and the cart is open for signups. For YOU, I am giving you a discount code of PB100 for $100 off the course. Check it out here!
When my kids were small, before we moved to the beach, we lived in two different homes in Los Angeles, and we had a milkman from Alta Dena® deliver to us once a week. So old school, I know! Keith was a lovely man who dropped off our order very early in the morning, so I only met him a few times (one of my kids as a baby was sometimes up before the sun!) In fact, in our second home, we had a metal milk box on the porch where Keith would deposit the milk and it would stay cold until I retrieved it.Continue reading
The simplest recipes are always the most popular. I need to remember this when I am creating and sharing with you and my students. It’s cookie season and although I don’t know how many cookie swaps will happen, or maybe they’ll happen without people getting together physically, I know you will all appreciate the ease and simplicity of this Peppermint Bark Shortbread recipe!Continue reading
If you’ve been hanging out here long enough, you know that my favorite night of the year is Christmas Eve at my Aunt Sheila’s house with my dad’s family – all 100+ of us. It’s a fun night with all the traditions I grew up with: a million fish dishes, carols being sung while waiting for Santa to come down the stairs, dozens of gifts flying everywhere, chocolates and panettone and espresso to round out the evening. Well, I know what you’re thinking. That’s a super spreader event that is NOT happening this year.Continue reading
