Farmer’s Market
Many people have a farmer’s marketing close to them. It’s surprising how few of us actually visit. Short of having a farm or a square foot garden, this is some of the finest local offerings you’ll find. It’s still early in the season, but spring vegetables and artistic purveyors are out in force. Today the market was full of spring greens including brussel sprouts, gold and white cauliflower, spinach, English cucumber, and many fresh herbs. ...continue reading about Farmer's Market...
Warm Vegetable Salad
It’s been cold here in Texas over the past two days and I’ve been eating a lot of soup. I was craving something more hearty so I put together a simple plate of roasted vegetables. It is a mix of beautiful butternut squash, small red potatoes, four different beans, and hard tofu. This dish is pan roasted and sauteed all in the same skillet and then family style plated for a quick and simple hearty dinner. It was so filling and delicious I didn’t even want anything else. ...continue reading about Warm Vegetable Salad...
Asian Shrimp and Slaw
I armed myself to create a dish that you can put on the table in under 15 minutes and have it look like you were eating something from Nobu or one of Gordon Ramsey’s restaurants. While Gordon may not agree (he rarely agrees with anyone 
, I think this is something you can be proud of and you and your friends will love. The slaw here isn’t your “hot dog” variety, but one made of fresh and not-so-typical slaw ingredients. Daikon radishes, chives, and carrots are the stars ...continue reading about Asian Shrimp and Slaw...
BLT – Turkey Bacon, Organic Garden Lettuce, and Tofu Sandwich
Desperate for food, the forager (me) searches the refrigerator for sustenance. Instead, there is tofu and turkey bacon. Despair you say? Other than a few too afraid to try my sauerkraut and lima bean soup, which many still say is the best soup they’ve had, this was indeed a great brunch sandwich. ...continue reading about BLT - Turkey Bacon, Organic Garden Lettuce, and Tofu Sandwich...
Asian Mushroom Soup
This soup is a delicate mix of all things fresh from an Asian grocery store. We all have these little markets near us somewhere. It’s finding them and exploring that makes all the difference. ...continue reading about Asian Mushroom Soup...
Turkey Tofu Miso Bean Burger
I’ve probably lost my mind and I wouldn’t think wrongly of you for thinking the same. I just wanted a burger. One of those greasy, all beef, don’t know which cut got ground up into ...continue reading about Turkey Tofu Miso Bean Burger...

Sauerkraut and Lima Bean Soup
This soup is not gross. It is not a mistake. It is two wrongs that make a right, as one of my consumers of this soup professed. I challenge you to make a small batch of this soup and THEN tell me you don’t like sauerkraut. It is one of my family’s favorites and they HATE sauerkraut. ...continue reading about Sauerkraut and Lima Bean Soup...
Deconstructed Hummus
You may or may not of heard of the food term “deconstructed”. If you think of something that is taken apart to showcase individual components then it is deconstructed. It doesn’t mean the chef is too lazy to actually make the dish. Quite the contrary. It means the preparer it trying to highlight the individual components used to create the dish. This is often much more difficult because you can’t hide an inferior component when a recipe is deconstructed. It also gives you senses of individual flavors used to create ...continue reading about Deconstructed Hummus...

Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Onions
We’ve talked about iron deficiency and vitamin C before. Because the body doesn’t make its own, it’s important that we consume vitamin C at the same time as we eat iron rich foods in order for the body to process the iron. The other thing we’ve touched on in other posts is the use of anti-inflammatories. Inflammation or the lack of anti-inflammatories can aggravate arthritis or trigger appendicitis, as well as lead to heart disease, Alzheimers, and even some types of cancers. ...continue reading about Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Onions...
Panko Tofu with Dal and Basmati Rice
The New Year brings with it resolutions that are often short lived. Oftentimes we barely make it to the first weekend before we cave in. One of my favorite quotes (or a derivation of it) is “stupidity is repeating the same behavior over and over expecting a different end result”. Hopefully, we can recognized what hasn’t been working and try something a new and different way to create change. Somehow, I keep coming back to tofu. But this time, I changed my behavior and got an awesome result. ...continue reading about Panko Tofu with Dal and Basmati Rice...
