Here’s this week’s list of 10 articles I came across on the internet that I thought were interesting. Most of the articles are about health, nutrition, the environment and sustainability, but a few might have nothing to do with those topics. Some have video or audio.

Harissa Lentil & Wheatberry ‘Cheese’ Burgers with Caramelized Onions & Mushrooms
I'm gearing up for the July 4th weekend. Yesterday I made my Homemade Smoked Ketchup which I used today on my vegan "cheese" burgers. I tried these out on my husband and our friend, who's been staying with us for a couple of weeks. As they are both carnivores, I have to admit I was a bit sheepish about having them taste test my creation. But they both … Read More...
Homemade Smoked Ketchup
Condiments are awesome at making things taste....well, awesome. But they can contain a boat load of bad stuff like excessive amounts of salt, sugar, food coloring and preservatives. I like to make my own condiments to not only leave out the bad stuff, but to tweak the taste to my liking. And it's so fast and simple to make. This ketchup is a … Read More...

Stacked Vegetable Sandwich with Parsley Pesto & Sun Dried Tomato-Basil Spread
Before I met my husband, I didn't put much thought into the condiments I used on my sandwiches. Mayo. Mustard. That was it. My husband, on the other hand, is the king of condiments. He likes to slather on thick layers of multiple types of spreads. And I have to admit that his sandwiches were far superior to mine, sporting a wide variety of flavors. Much … Read More...

Strawberry Banana & Mango Ice Cream
The weather in Chicago has been all over the map - pushing 100 degrees one day and plummeting 40 degrees the next. Today is up - way up. And HUMID. I know this may sound rather peculiar but I actually like humidity. I find it far preferable to hot, dry, windy air that feels like you're standing in front of a blast furnace. And although I don't mind … Read More...

Asparagus with Pan-Roasted Za’tar Tomatoes & Walnuts
I remember the first time I had za'tar - a Middle Eastern staple generally made with a combination of sumac, thyme, sesame seeds, oregano and hyssop. We were in an Arabic grocery store and, there at the check out counter, they had a huge stack of freshly made flatbreads generously spread with a za'tar pesto topped with olive oil and toasted pine nuts. … Read More...
