08 September 2010 - Recipe infusion: Join PCRM’s 21-day Kickstart
Bingo! When both your 22-year old AND 15-year old sons scarf down a dish, you know you’ve got something. Last night I made the Hoppin’ John salad recipe from the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine’s (PCRM’s) 21-day Vegan Kickstart program, and I’m here to tell you it’s a winner. Easy, filling, nourishing food– just the [...]

10 August 2010 - Liquid sunshine: 7 days of green smoothies
I admit it: I’m hooked on green smoothies. But if you have to have a vice, hey. For me (and everyone’s different, which is pretty wonderful), green smoothies are the perfect start to a day. They taste like liquid sunshine, and make me feel strong and energized all morning. Here are a week’s worth of photos [...]

03 August 2010 - By Popular Demand: Shredded Carrot & Beet Salad
This was one of the most popular dishes at Food As Medicine 2010– perhaps because it’s such a glorious eye-full? In her book The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen, from whence this recipe cometh, Rebecca Katz says, “…I set out to create the most colorful salad I could, using purple beets, orange carrots, and fresh mint. If I’d [...]

Searching for something so easy to make, so healthy, and so delicious you can’t believe it’s not under lock and key? Here you go: Arran’s guacamole. In 5 minutes, you can have it on the table. He wanted me to make a video to show you how quick it is, but I’m not that adept– [...]

08 July 2010 - Beat the Heat: A Rainbow Salad
With temperatures over 100 degrees and code orange air alerts (“unhealthy for sensitive groups”) here in Washington, DC, who feels like cooking? Or for that matter, eating? My solution last evening: a rainbow salad. Everything organic, nearly everything purchased at our local farm market the evening before. Nothing much to it: two kinds of lettuce, [...]

29 June 2010 - Summer Harvest
Summer’s harvest is rolling in! See the riches we plundered at the Farm Market on Saturday, including the first corn of the season (white), and little orange ‘Sundrop’ tomatoes, organic strawberries, black raspberries, and small plums (well, everything we purchased is organic), and mountains of greens (kale, chard, dandelion, arugula, baby spinach, Boston lettuce), herbs [...]

20 May 2010 - Delicious Chilled: Potato Leek Soup
Here’s a lovely gluten-free vegan potato leek soup from Gluten-Free Goddess. We liked it better chilled the day after we made it and served it warm– but it may have been the result of that magic that happens when a soup sits overnight, and all the flavors marry and deepen. Rich without the cream, and [...]

13 May 2010 - A Real Find: Brazilian Collard Greens
Ooooh, I love the internet! Once home with my fresh collard greens from the farm market, I felt inclined to try something new. A google search turned up an appealing and speedy recipe for Brazilian collard greens– not the oxymoron you might think, for greens that are famous for slow, slow cookin’. The whole process [...]

29 April 2010 - Seasonal Delights: Roasted Asparagus
Nothing could be easier, more elegant, or more delicious than roasted asparagus in the springtime. So when I hosted a pot-luck dinner party celebrating a dear friend’s birthday recently, I chose that for my contribution. Don’t you agree that it’s preferable to have fun at a party rather than suffer from kitchen exhaustion? This beautiful [...]
