I promise this is the last time I will complain about the weather. But really, for LA, this rain and sub-60 degree temperatures are cramping my style. I want my money back! I am drinking more hot water and tea than ever to stay warm and relying on more cooked food than raw. I know that spices ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 4th, 2019
This week starts the beginning of Lent which means I will try to remember to include a fish or vegetarian meal on Fridays. My mom used to ask us kids to give up one thing during Lent and we would always to try to be sneaky and pick things we didn't care about, like milk or bananas. She was onto ...
Sugar Snap Pea and Quinoa Salad with Tofu
I saw sugar snap peas at the farmers market for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I immediately bought them without thinking twice. I am crazy for these crunchy, sweet pods and I often snack on them plain or dip them into hummus or a basic vinaigrette. The season for local sugar snap peas ...
Dinner Planner – Week of February 25th, 2019
Someone commented on my Instagram feed the other day after I posted cauliflower in three different colors, that winter was her favorite season for produce. Huh. I've never thought that before, but there is so much bounty even in winter. I don't buy summer goods in the winter because that would ...
Herbed Hasselback Sweet Potatoes Recipe
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 ...
