Curried Lentil Salad
So now that Autumn has arrived, I thought I'd be done with salads. But no. I'm not. However, the curry spices in this salad give it quite a bit of warmth, so I'll call this a "transitional" salad. Slowly easing my way into the cooler weather. I like to use curly parsley in this salad because it's more "sturdy" than Italian … Read More...
Eat To Live Q1, Q2 & Q3 2016 Report (Better Late Than Never??)

You're probably wondering whether I gave up on the program since I haven't mentioned it pretty much all year. Well, let me tell you what's been going on.

Za’ atar Chickpea & Parsley Salad with Capers
There are some flavor combinations that seem to make just about everything taste better. Za' atar is one of them.

Lebanese Lentil Soup
There's a little restaurant (like 10 tables!) that my husband and I frequent in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago called Taste of Lebanon. They make the most awesome lentil soup served piping hot. I dare say I'm a bit obsessed with it - and that's something I rarely say about anything! Even if it's 100 degrees outside, we order their soup … Read More...
Tofu & Almond Pad Thai
I've been making a lot of curried pulses lately so I decided to change things up with some noodles. Noodles. Yummm. I don't know what it is about noodles, but they have a way of grabbing my attention more intensely than other staple ingredients like rice or bread. There's something about slurping up noodles soaked in sauce that is super … Read More...

Coconut Curried Mung Beans with Tomatoes & Spinach
I've had a bit of a mung bean fetish lately thanks to my husband cooking up big batches the past few weeks. I must confess this dish is largely his recipe with some slight modifications. If mung beans are new to you, they are quite the treat! Not only are they delicious, but they are loaded with protein, fiber, magnesium and folate. Many recipes do … Read More...
