I eat big salads every day. I love kale salad, but only seem to make it when I am out of lettuce. It’s so good, I should make it more often. This is a great salad to prepare in advance and bring to a potluck or picnic. Unlike salads made with lettuce that will wilt…
The first time I had avocado maki I went nuts. The combination of the avocado, nori and wasabi was something I had never experienced and couldn’t get enough of. Once you get the hang of it they are easy to make and travel well for lunch boxes and picnics. Vegetable Maki 1 cup brown rice…
These rolls require a little time and a little patience. I think they are worth it. The result is a flavor that is so fresh. A hint of mint, the crunchy juiciness of the sprouts, the bite of the chives all mix together to create something very special. 1 square (3.5 oz) baked tofu sliced…
When the weather is warm we eat out on the terrace. Tonight’s menu: mesclun greens with carrot/ginger dressing; miso vegetable soup; summer rolls filled with sweet pea sprouts (that I sprouted myself), baked tofu, rice noodles, mint, chives (from our terrace garden) served with a spicy peanut sauce and maki with avocado mango and shitaki…

So I make this easy recipe just the way I like it. 2 tablespoons unsalted peanut butter (creamy or chunky) 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon to 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, agave or brown rice syrup (optional)…

Ingredients: 4 carrots, cut in chunks 1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled 1/2 cup water 1 Tablespoon sesame oil, optional 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar Directions: In a high-powered blender, combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth. If you don’t…
I like cornbread made with… corn! Corn bread is best with juicy corn kernels baked into the batter. You can baked the batter in a pan and cut it into squares for a Thanksgiving dinner or bake individual muffins for a weekend breakfast. Check out our newer SOS-free version, no salt, oil, sugar, or baking…
I love fresh apple compote and a little bit of fresh ginger gives it a spicy twist. 1 tart crisp apple, cut in small pieces. (If organic, leave on the peel) 1/2 cup apple sauce (unsweetened) or light colored jam like our REAL Apricot Butter 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons raisins or 3 chopped dried…
