Black Peppered Green Plate
May 2, 2013 – 9:05 am
I really adore peas, but I’m used to buying them in a can, when they’re already softened by a brine and somewhat at a loss of nutrients. Using fresh peas, I was able to enjoy peas in a healthier, unprocessed way. And green beans were never my cup of tea, until I learned how delicious [...]

Low-Carb Hash Browns
April 13, 2013 – 7:28 am
There is no way I’ll feel compelled to go back to the white potato after today’s recipe. I’ve skinned, chopped and cooked celeriac (celery root) in butter with a dash of salt and pepper. That’s it. The great thing about celeriac is that it softens quickly – within 2-3 minutes of cooking – and develops [...]

Simple Side Dish: White Beans & Cabbage
March 18, 2013 – 8:08 am
I bought a massive cabbage last week and have been trying to find new ways to use it, as it doesn’t seem to ever finish. I’ve been sneaking it into my daily green juice as well as sautéing it with different vegetables every night. Most recently, I paired it with white beans and parsley for [...]
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 [...]
Cherry Tomato Mint Salad
February 11, 2013 – 9:08 am
I quickly put together this salad to complement my dinner. It makes for a colorful side dish and palette cleanser. I used red, green and yellow cherry tomatoes for color contrast. The fresh mint heightens the salad’s aromas. You can make it more meal-worthy with the addition of feta cheese, olives or any other vegetables. [...]

This soup bears all the Middle Eastern flavors I love in the spices and chickpeas, and reminds me of some classics, such as falafel and hummus. It has a deep, smoky flavor that fills you up and takes your senses to all the right places.
