Cooking with fruit can be surprisingly sweet. I like the combination of the sweetness from the fruit and smoky chipotle. 1/2 cup water 1 pear, cut in small pieces 6-8 dried figs, chopped in small pieces 1/2 teaspoon madras curry powder 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder 2 cups cooked adzuki beans or other small black, red…
Breakfast: I’m just not really hungry lately in the warm weather. I got up and finished the 1/2 pear I saved from the day before and made some green kukitcha tea. I don’t drink the tea hot these days. I wait for it to cool and drink it warm or at room temperature. And sometimes…
Breakfast: Making cold oats for one instead of two leaves me with leftover fruit. I used 1/2 banana and 1/2 pear along with raisins and cashews in this morning’s bowl with rolled oats topped with soy milk. Lunch: It was party time at my brother’s home, celebrating his son’s 8th birthday, his daughter’s 10th…

Breakfast: We used to make this oatmeal waffle a lot. And then I began to experiment making waffles with other flours. Gary wanted to make these Light and Crispy Oat Waffles. I was the one who used to make them. I like when Gary goes to the REAL App, finds a recipe and makes it.…
Breakfast: Just another super hot and humid July day in New York City. I am so grateful to have a terrace and be able to eat most of our meals outdoors! I called this breakfast a Trifle because Gary had prepared it in layers: apples, pears, raisins and cashews, then oats, then more apples, pears,…
When temperatures rise it’s important to stay hydrated. Make it delicious with this Fruity Hibiscus Tea. My friend Beth who lives in Costa Rica grows this lovely flower and then dries the petals and bags them to give to friends and family.
