Simple Turnip Gratin
April 27, 2013 – 8:08 am
I’m in love with turnips and I didn’t know that until this week! I’ve never cooked with them before, because for some reason, I assumed that they were bitter like radishes. Au contraire! It’s mellow in flavor and actually quite delicious raw. For this recipe, I cook it like I would a potato in a [...]
Vegan Mushroom Cabbage Rolls
February 23, 2013 – 8:28 am
This is a new favorite in my kitchen – mushroom stuffed cabbage rolls. The process is relatively simple, but I sure didn’t know that until I tried. It’s a light, but a creatively comforting dish that makes it okay to go in for one, two, three, or more! Try it out yourself and introduce new [...]
Simple and Figure-Friendly Salmon Burger
February 21, 2013 – 1:07 pm
What I like the most about this salmon burger is that, besides being tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, it doesn’t need any grain or flour to hold the patties together. All you need is the addition of one egg, and the salmon forms into patties well without falling apart. Plus, because you are keeping the dish [...]
Kale & Mushroom Garlic Sauté
February 12, 2013 – 9:33 am
Kale is one of those greens I have a hard time chewing on, literally. It’s often too tough for me to chew properly and, if I have too much, I end up getting a stomach ache later, because my body cant break down the raw kale that efficiently. With that said, kale still happens to [...]
Kale Guacamole
January 24, 2013 – 9:19 am
Avocadoes are a bit deal in my kitchen, and guacamole is a typical way for me to enjoy them. However, it never hurts to pack more nutrition into each bite and to spread out the fat among something relatively calorie-less. Kale makes a great accompaniment to the smooth, rich texture of the avocado. It brings [...]

Light Roasted Red Pepper Party Dip
January 10, 2013 – 9:31 am
Many party dips are deceivingly light. With each scoop, though, you are packing in the calories and unnecessarily so. Store-bought dips are not only packed with fat, since they often use cream cheese or mayonnaise as a base, but also with preservatives, colorings, and other additives. This recipe is for a creamy red pepper dip [...]

December 10, 2012 – 7:28 am
This recipe reminds me why I can eat salad and never get bored – it’s packed with protein, fiber, greens, and roasted vegetables. The best of everything, essentially. The colors are vibrant, the textures are diverse, and the taste satisfies each taste bud. Enjoy!
Mashed “Potato” Casserole with Broiled Cheese and Fresh Chives
December 5, 2012 – 8:08 am
I doubt you have leftover mashed potatoes left from Thanksgiving, but isn’t it sad that most of us don’t really have mashed potatoes regularly? In my experience, it’s a comfort dish that I’d see at family gatherings or holiday dinners, not an everyday side dish unless, that is, it’s the packaged grocery store variety that [...]
