The first time I had a cabbage salad (not coleslaw) was at a friend’s home whose family was from Chile. I was about 12 and the chewy chunks of cabbage in the vinegar dressing were different to me than the iceberg lettuce salads I was used to. I picked at it and politely got it…

I was craving Mushroom Congee but I didn’t want to use rice. Congee or conjee is a type of rice porridge or gruel popular in many Asian countries, especially East Asia. I made it with tempeh instead and loved it. I imagine this dish will work with rice Cauliflower or a small cooked white bean…

It is linked to improved brain function and lower risk of brain diseases. I love ginger too. It improves cognitive function, increases blood flow to the brain and modulates blood sugar levels, keeping energy levels…

Sometimes the best ideas come from lack. Or apparent lack. We are going to be away from home for a while and we are using up what we have left in the refrigerator and pantry. We make a lot of sauces from nuts, seeds and nut and seed butters. We were out of everything. I…
We have four other Buckwheat Crêpe or Pancake recipes on this site. This one is the newest and my favorite. Why?

We had made a version of this soup while traveling using a store bought low-sodium vegetable broth. Once at home, instead of a packaged broth, I used herbs and spices to flavor the water instead. The sweet potatoes give the soup a nice flavor. Ingredients: 6 cups water Spice/Herb mix: 2 Tablespoons onion powder…
