The Best Turkey Meatloaf Recipe

I’m going to visit my family on Long Island soon which means I am putting together a mega meal plan for the week. Feeding 15 people of all different ages breakfast, lunch and dinner requires some careful planning. I usually do the menus as well as take on the role of head chef. My mother typically does the grocery shopping and helps with the cooking. My two sisters also help with the cooking and washing of the dishes. The little ones set and clear the table and occasionally I get one or two of them in the kitchen with me. It’s a good way to spend time together and make sure not one person (like me LOL) does everything.Continue reading

Roasted Cauliflower with Almond-Herb Sauce Recipe

Roasted Cauliflower with Almond-Herb Sauce | Pamela Salzman

I just roasted cauliflower last night, in the middle of summer, and it was so delicious. I think I avoid roasting vegetables in the summer in favor of the grill or eating vegetables raw. But it’s hard to beat the ease and flavor of roasted vegetables, especially cauliflower which is a vegetable I eat all year round. I might go out on a limb and say cauliflower is my favorite vegetable.Continue reading

Strawberry Yerba Mate Popsicles Recipe

Strawberry Yerba Mate Popsicles | Pamela Salzman

If you bought some Argentinian yerba mate after I posted a story on Instagram where I was drinking it or after I posted this chicken and cilantro soup or yerba mate chocolate truffles with brewed yerba mate, I have a new recipe which can make use of it. This recipe will also use Argentinian yerba mate in an unexpected way – this time in popsicles! How refreshing do these strawberry popsicles look right about now?Continue reading

Watermelon-Feta Bites Recipe

Who needs some simple summer bites that you can whip up with few ingredients on a moment’s notice for impromptu gatherings or hosting friends at home after a day at the beach? That would be me! It’s not too much to ask, right? My friends love coming to visit me at the beach in the summer and I love having them, but I also don’t want to be in the kitchen all the day. I love making these fun and festive (and healthy) watermelon skewers because they’re fresh and tasty, and they’re not heavy or too filling. I prefer a light bite before dinner. My goal is not to roll my friends out the door after I feed them!Continue reading

Chocolate Energy Smoothie from “How To Be Well”

It’s smoothie weather! I’ve mentioned on the blog before that I don’t do smoothies when the weather is cool or cold. And in general, I actually try not to eat too many smoothies on an empty stomach. An acupuncturist told me decades ago not to consume ice cold beverages with meals as they squelch the digestive fires. The same goes for cold smoothies which also may cause digestive problems and cause you to feel cold – not a good thing when it’s cold outside. When the weather warms up, I am more inclined to drink a smoothie, although I still start my day with warm water with lemon.Continue reading

Wild Salmon Burgers Recipe

The past two nights I set 5 places at the dinner table and I could not have been more grateful or HAPPY. All three of my kids are home, and although it will be a short time that we’re all together, I’ll take what I can get! I am going to pull back a little from social media and lengthy blogposts in the very short term, so bear with me. I have to walk the talk and enjoy some balance in my life. So I am going to spend some more time with my kids over the next week or so. And then I have to get cracking on several projects which I have mentioned in a previous post. It’s all super exciting, but something’s gotta give!Continue reading

Pea Pesto and Burrata Crostini Recipe

Pea and burrata crostini recipe | Pamela Salzman

It’s practically summertime and my cooking/entertaining strategy has already shifted. I’m making mental notes of easy-breezy recipes with lots of color and freshness. Even though I feel comfortable cooking any recipe in any cookbook, I don’t feel as though I have to prove anything to my family and friends. That’s not why I invite them over. I’m all about having fun and not creating more work for myself, especially in the summer!Continue reading

Turmeric Rice Bowls Recipe

I am so excited to share a recipe on the site with tempeh, a fermented soy product that I really like and one that I have been using much more since Mr. Pamela Salzman (LOL) became WFPB (aka whole food plant-based.) Tempeh may not be as mainstream as tofu, but I think it’s actually more nutritious and I like it just as much. Tempeh is made by fermenting cooked soybeans and then pressing the mixture into firm slabs. Most of the tempeh I see in supermarkets may also contain beans, grains and seasonings. And actually, there’s a Korean vendor at my local farmers market who makes “tempah” with no soy, only beans.Continue reading
