Brown Lentil Soup with Carrots Tomatoes & Spinach
Here is another Dr. Fuhrman Eat to Live plan friendly dish. I must confess that this dish was made by my husband. Tasty lentils are his specialty. He grew up on lentils, but I didn’t have lentils until he made them for me years ago. Or maybe I had some made by his mom first. Either way, they both have a special flair for making lentil dishes and I’ve … Read More...

Tofu Panzanella Salad
This is my version of a panzanella salad – sans the “’pan” (bread). So why did I remove the name-sake ingredient of this recipe? I wanted to re-work this classic Italian salad to be compatible with the weight loss portion of Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Eat To Live plan. To do that, I got rid of the rustic bread and replaced it with “fried” tofu. (If you … Read More...

Mixed Greens & Avocado Salad Roll Ups
I’m still patiently waiting (well maybe not so patiently) for Spring to arrive. The calendar says it’s here, but the way-below temperatures and northern winds say otherwise. However, the season’s produce is popping up in stores which inspired me to make something that looks, smells and tastes like Spring has sprung. Usually when I make a salad, I … Read More...
Fast Spinach & Parmesan Frittata
After the mess in our house (see this post) was finally was under control, I decided to keep going and do some spring cleaning and painting projects that have been on the back burner since……forever. Those projects are never as easy as you think, so the blog took a back seat last week. I know how hard it can be to eat properly when you are super busy, … Read More...
