Curried Golden Beet Carrot & Parsnip Soup
Last weekend, my husband came home from a winter Farmers' Market with a bag full of goodies - big golden beets, multi-colored carrots and parsnips. I thought about roasting them, but opted for a nice piping hot pot of soup. And curried to boot! I used to use store-bought vegetable stock every time I made soup. Now I just use plain old water and let … Read More...

Remaking A Favorite: Mexican Black Bean Cucumber Red Pepper & Corn Salad
For me, the key to sticking with a healthy eating plan is to keep the fridge stocked with healthy dishes. If there's nothing good on hand that's ready-made, you know you're headed for the that bag of chips and queso in the pantry. (I don't actually keep anything like that in the pantry, but I used to, so I'm willing to bet I'm not the only … Read More...

Traditional Miso Soup (because I’ve been making it all wrong!)
I learned a long time ago not to overcook vegetables because it pretty much sucks the nutrients out of them and kills the enzymes - basically leaving you with a pile of dead food. Kind of defeats the purpose of eating, right? But I didn't apply that principle to cooking with miso, which is typically made from soybeans, salt and koji (a grain-based … Read More...

Eat To Live 2016 Q4 Report + 3-Year Blogaversary + Upcoming Changes To Blog
Eat To Live 2016 Q4 Report If it seems like I've been a bit of an absentee landlord on the blog lately, that's because I have been. For months, I haven't posted as many recipes as usual. And I not only skimped on my last three quarterly Eat To Live (ETL) reports by combining them into one (see this post), but I also haven't followed through on … Read More...

Holiday Green Beans & Peas in Tomato-Paprika Sauce with Crispy Garlic
Green bean casseroles pretty much dominate holiday buffet tables as the side dish of choice. But many of them are made with canned mushroom soups that are loaded with calories and fat. Why do we use the holidays as an excuse to feed the people we love stuff that's not good for them? Just doesn't seem right to me! This dish is actually my … Read More...
