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 ...
Yerba Mate Chicken and Cilantro Soup Recipe
This blogpost is sponsored by the Argentinian Yerba Mate Board. All opinions are my own. Let me introduce you to my new favorite morning companion, Argentinian Yerba Mate. I have touted my love of tea many times on this blog and on my instagram, and I believe it's a wonderful addition to a ...
Immune-Boosting Soup Recipe + an Instant Pot Version
I have been able to avoid conflict and controversy all these years on my blog and on social media, until I posted an image of this soup on Instagram a little over a year ago. If you read my recent post on how to get well quickly, you know that I favor homemade broths, ginger, garlic and ...
Lemony Chickpea Soup Recipe
It's soup season! I made my first pot tonight and even though I'm a warm weather gal, I am also crazy for soups. I'll make two soups a week minimum. They're easy, healthful, and so many rely on pantry staples, like this Lemony Chickpea Soup I developed for Clean Eating Magazine a few years ago. ...
Split Pea and Barley Soup Recipe
St. Patrick's Day is approaching and I am here to tell you that you do not need to make corned beef and cabbage to be in the spirit. Make anything green -- spinach risotto, kale salad, a mint chip smoothie -- and you're good in my book. I actually discovered recently that split pea soup can have ...
Moroccan Vegetable Soup Recipe
I can't think of anything more comforting than a bowl of soup. Warm, filling, and nourishing, homemade soup feels like a big hug. My husband and my kids (especially Mr. Picky) all love soup and I love making it because it's easy, flexible and soup makes great leftovers. ...
Stracciatella (Italian Egg Drop Soup) Recipe
Soup is good food. I always teach a soup in my winter classes and it's on my family's dinner planner every week. The body craves warm foods when the weather is cold and soup is also very digestible. Plus my family loves soup! ...
Cranberry Bean (aka Borlotti Bean) Soup Recipe
Let me get right to it -- this soup is made with "Cranberry Beans," not cranberries and beans. This came up a lot when I taught this soup last fall in my cooking classes. The lovely and tasty cranberry bean is also known as a "Borlotti bean," and might be my favorite bean ever, which says a lot ...
Corn and Vegetable Chowder Recipe
I am headed to Long Island this week and my first stop (after I say hello to my parents) is the nearest farm stand. My father's vegetable garden is wonderful and bursting with all sorts of goodies, but there's no corn to be found. And I can't be on Long Island in the summer without corn. I think ...
How to Make Bone Broth
My readers and my students are very in the know when it comes to food trends, especially the healthy ones. So I’m sure you have all heard about bone broth and how it's taking over the world. It's the newest thing! It's revolutionary! So funny. Bone broth is no trend, but in fact something that ...
French Onion Soup Recipe
If it wasn't winter before this week, it sure is now. Not in Southern California, of course. But for the rest of the country. Although people in LA dress like it's zero degrees when it's 55. It's totally funny. I cracked up when I saw this post on Pinterest last week: So I figured that ...
