THIS IS SERIOUSLY GOOD! Low Carb + High Protein + Spicy Peanut Sauce = #NeedWeSayMore It’s the perfect balance of hot and cold, savory and sweet, crisp and tender. The tofu, mushroom and water chestnut combination is really flavorful, picking up the garlic and ginger flavors, with the soy adding a pleasant saltiness. The beauty of […]
Are you a lover or a hater? Cucumbers have a reputation for being boring. I don’t agree. I love cucumbers and this salad, which is refreshing and definitely not boring, brings it! There is a bit of a kick and crunch with added jalapenos, lemon zest and pistachios. Topped with crumbled feta and a drizzle […]
What’s new in my refrigerator? In an attempt to drink more water and fewer store bought beverages, I have started making my own infused waters, similar to the ones in spa waiting rooms that are so refreshing. A combination of lemon, cucumber and mint seems to be the most popular combination and for a great […]
THIS IS SERIOUSLY GOOD! Low Carbs + High Protein + Spicy Peanut Sauce = #NeedWeSayMore My family loved this meal! In spite of their lukewarm (at best) love for tofu, they dug in to these wraps and came back for more. Everyone was really polite though and tried not to be the ‘One Who […]
Several weeks ago, I whipped up a pitcher of LEMON CUCUMBER MINT WATER in an attempt to drink more water and fewer store-bought drinks. It has been a very successful exercise and I love opening my refrigerator to see a colorful and delicious, cold beverage always on hand. I refill with plain water every time I pour a glass and […]
You’ve sent out the invitations and the RSVPs are in. Now what? I have attended many bridal showers over the years, including my own, but I have never planned one, until now. I recently hosted a shower for my beautiful future daughter in law and I turned to the internet (doesn’t everyone?) to make sure […]
It’s the first day of Spring and you know what that means…Yes, it’s that time of year. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is already out and soon we will be digging for our beachwear beachcoverups, bathing suits and for the bravest of the brave, bikinis. So when I ran across an article in Prevention Magazine […]
California is experiencing a typical Indian Summer with hot and dry temperatures, little fog and no rain. Yesterday I did a hike with my dog and came back so thirsty, water didn’t help. I have been trying to eliminate soft drinks and bottled ‘juice type’ drinks from my diet and go with more natural beverages. I am still […]
They’re Back! ( in sing song voice) With graduations and summer approaching, we have gone from being empty nesters to having a full house again. One of the biggest adjustments this time has been for the ‘kids’ because of my meatless diet. They are more likely to cater to my diet now, which is a complete switch from when I used […]

Red Lentil Soup with Quinoa Cauliflower Cakes I have an ongoing love affair with lentils which come in various colors and sizes. I’m not picky. My favorites are the French Green and the Black Beluga, both which hold their shape and don’t turn to mush unless you overcook them. I use them often for salads […]
