Breakfast: Having fun with food! I made this Picasso-inspired breakfast plate with Banana Muffins, Pears and Bananas with some Jasmine Tea. Dinner: We celebrated my mom’s 82nd birthday and went to a pizza restaurant. I shared a large pizza with Broccoli rabe, Fire Roasted Peppers, Carmelized Onions and Mushrooms with No Cheese with my…
Breakfast: Gary says I am impressionable. While finishing reading Dr. Karin Dina’s book, Raw Food Nutrition Handbook for my radio show later in the day, I was thinking of the 1/3 head of cabbage in the refrigerator. We were getting a GoOrganicNYC delivery today and that cabbage had to be eaten before the new one…
Breakfast: It was a muffin morning with freshly made Banana Muffins, Fresh Pears and Sliced Oranges with Green Kukitcha tea. Lunch: There was a bowl of leftover Kale Salad with Chickpea Salad from the night before. It was just what I needed and I washed it down with my Daily Green Juice of Kale,…
Breakfast: I woke up really hungry and Gary took care of that right away with his Easy Tofu Scramble , baked Fingerling Potatoes and (leftover) Buckwheat Crêpe Triangles served with Apricot Butter and English Breakfast Tea. Snack: We stopped working for a tea break in the afternoon with Chai Tea, Dark Chocolate and Medjool…
Breakfast: I love to give in to cravings especially when they are like the one I had this morning for Buckwheat Crêpes with Sautéed Pears. It was served with Earl Grey Tea. Daily Green Juice: Kale, Collards, Celery, Carrots, Lemon, Ginger. Dinner: It may be the weekend but we’re always working. While I…
Breakfast: If you haven’t tried Polenta in the morning, you should. This Polenta was cooked with Raisins and Apples and topped with Nectarines and Flax Seeds. Daily Green Juice: Kale, Collards, Celery, Carrots, Lemon, Ginger Dinner: Bring the Beandae back! Yesterday’s new creation, the Beandae made with chickpeas, tahini sauce, nutritional yeast sprinkles,…
Brunch: I had set a pot of chickpeas to soak the night before, rinsed them and started cooking them in the morning. They were done quickly. We had some Chai Tea and enjoyed the quiet of the morning. It was late when we had our first meal, which included what I am calling a Beandae,…
Breakfast: We eat a lot of oatmeal. I think of oats as a blank canvas sometimes to add color and texture to. Today’s Oat Art is made with Strawberries, Nectarines, Pecans, Flax Seeds Coconut Milk and Rolled Oats. It’s as delicious as it is beautiful. I had a pot of Kukitcha Tea and Gary had…
Breakfast: Gary is home and we got to sit down for breakfast. We warmed up some of the Buckwheat Waffles I had froze the week before. I made a quick strawberry coulis and Gary topped his waffles with Peanut Butter and Apricot Butter. It went well with Sliced Oranges and Earl Gray Tea. Gary was…
I woke up an hit the bottle right away. A bottle of chilled Jasmine Ginger tea that is! It’s another hot and humid day and the plan is to chill all day with cool foods. Breakfast: Cool Rolled Oats with Frozen Strawberries, Flax Seeds and Coconut Milk served with a glass of Gary Null’s…
Breakfast: It’s another hot day in NYC. It began with Rolled Oats, Frozen Blueberries (which defrost instantly in this weather), Flax Seeds and Coconut Milk. I mixed some ginger powder in with my tea for a Jasmine Ginger Tea. Lunch: Half of the Stuffed Cabbage I made yesterday went into the freezer and I…
I ate dinner out two days in a row and that’s a lot for me. I practically jumped out of bed this morning and started to cook. I spent the next few hours in the kitchen making whatever came to mind in the moment. I am not sure what inspired me but in the end…
Breakfast: It just Soaked Oats, okay? Nothing exotic or creative, just something nourishing that I enjoy eating, especially in the morning. This time I added Pumpkin Seeds, Flax Seeds and Flaked Coconut with Soy Milk and served it with Sliced Oranges and some Kukitcha Tea. Daily Green Juice: I made my weekly batch of…
Breakfast: Today’s oats were soaked for a little while in coconut milk along with flax seeds, flaked coconut and dried figs, topped with white peaches and served with Kukitcha Tea. Not only do people ask me what I eat every day (hence this blog), I am also asked how and where I shop. For…
Breakfast: Soaked Rolled Oats with Dried Figs, Coconut Flakes, Flax Seeds, Blueberries and Soy Milk for breakfast with chilled Russian Caravan Tea. I wrote about the tea the other day. It wasn’t so bad hot but it was absolutely awful chilled! I don’t recommend it at all. Drinking it cold brought out that asphalt flavor.…
Breakfast: I had made some plain polenta a day or two before. I took what was left and reheated it in a small saucepan with a little water, the strawberry coulis I had made for my waffles and sprinked in some coconut flakes and flax seeds. I broke up some pecans and added them on…
Breakfast: Haste makes… a dozen waffles! I was thinking of too many things when I started to make my favorite Buckwheat Waffles for breakfast. It’s an easy recipe and I have made it many times. In my haste, I used 1 Tablespoon of baking powder and the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon. This became very…
Breakfast: Catching up on my oatmeal intake with Rolled Oats, Coconut, Blueberries, Flax Seeds and Soy Milk with a cup of Russian Caravan Tea. This tea is a blend of Oolong, Keemun, and Lapsang Souchong teas, all produced from Camellia sinensis, the Chinese tea plant. It is described as an aromatic and full-bodied tea with…
Breakfast: A selection of things I have been eating for the week made a quick and satisfying breakfast: Cabbage with Collards and Onion Soup, Creamy Pink Lentil Carrot Bisque and Canteloupe. Lunch: I made a GIANT Kale Salad with Tomatoes, Avocado and fresh Lime. I ate the whole thing! Daily Green Juice:Kale, Collards,…
Breakfast: The day began with some fresh papaya that I had cut up the day before. Papaya is one of my favorite fruits, not to sweet, and starchy and substantial. It fills you up. I don’t eat them often because they are not locally grown, but I love them. I had some iced Genmaicha Tea.…
