We’re doing a little “cleanse” of sorts. It’s something we do relatively often (almost always in a different way). A little internal refresh. Something to clean out our guts and rid our bodies of nasties. We eat pretty clean as it is, but every once in a while we have a craving for something more…

These are a few of my favorite things.
There are few things I love more in this world than the following: 1) The first grill of the season (in spite of the ominous clouds on the horizon — hell, I dig living on the edge). 2) Fresh Mexican (in this case, carne asada — my first attempt, mind you). 3) Sharing the two…
Curried Cauliflower + Creamy Coconut Sumac Yogurt
I have a total love/hate relationship with those nights when I have nothing on the dinner menu. On the one hand, I hate not having a plan. Often I don’t even care what it is — a simple salad, a smoothie, some roasted chicken and veggies… On the other hand, it’s such a thrill to…
Un-Bread.
One of my all-time favorite blogs, mynewroots.org, recently posted this intriguing “bread” recipe. I make a lot of claims about things changing my life — typically, they’re true! She made the same claim regarding this bread. Naturally, I had to try… As you know, while I love my kitchen time, I’m NOT into the baking. …
Seared Salmon + Greek Radish Slaw
Oh. My. Salmon-on-salad. Heavens. This was fresh out of my little dome (Cheryl wanted Asian food — so she got a rice noodle bowl). I wanted salmon and salad. Boy did I get salmon and salad! Some of the best salmon and salad I’ve ever made, to be exact. I made my Greek yogurt sauce…
Lentil Soup.
I love soup. I particularly love soup of the homemade variety. Even more so, I love soup that is EASY. Most soups are relatively easy by nature — throw a bunch of stuff in a pot with some broth and voila! This soup is definitely one of those. (Note: this is NOT a visually appetizing…
Simplicity.
It’s no secret that I enjoy being in the kitchen. I’m rarely concerned with how long a meal will take me to prepare or how many ingredients I need to pick up. In the kitchen, my focus is on the outcome — rarely ever am I put off by the journey. So much so, in…
First Trip to Jerusalem.
Okay, not actually. But with every bite I was nearly able to envision such a journey. Cheryl ordered us a most wonderful book, Jerusalem. I’m ashamed to say many of the spices involved in the dishes are not staples in our pantry (all this changes today). Tonight was my first go at said “Jerusalem” cuisine….
keen-wa.
Welcome back to my belly! This fantastic amino-rich seed makes my heart skip a beat. Commonly considered a grain, this little guy is actually a relative of leafy greens like spinach or chard. What’s really cool: not only is quinoa high in protein, but the protein it supplies is complete protein, meaning that it includes all…
