Pan Roasted Salmon with Wilted Spinach
My fishmonger had some beautiful wild caught Coho Salmon fillets and I couldn’t resist this sweet fish. People seems to have some trepidation when cooking fish. The two most difficult things to master with fish, salmon in particular, is touch and doneness. Touch has to do with the actually feel of the fish when lightly pressed with the index finger. Doneness has not only to do with touch but also carry over cooking time and I will discuss that in a moment. ...continue reading about Pan Roasted Salmon with Wilted Spinach...
Butternut Squash Chips
It’s 9:30 p.m. and I want some junk food. Good, healthy, vegan junk food. I searched through every nook in the kitchen and other than tofu and some brussel sprouts that have started to compost in my crisper drawer, the only thing giving me the eye like that stupid stack of money with googly eyes in the Geico commercial is a butternut squash. Not what I was hoping for. ...continue reading about Butternut Squash Chips...
Tofu Parmigiana
This dish could possibly make you an Italian! If you have a meat eater (or you are a stinkin’ tofu holdout) that still thinks tofu can’t be prepared in a truly exceptional way then I challenge you to make this dish. This will slap some Sicilian in your family tree totally silly. ...continue reading about Tofu Parmigiana...
Golden Cauliflower and Ginger Soup
It didn’t take me long upon returning from the farmer’s market to roast this entire head of cauliflower and prepare it for a soup. Enjoy this not-so-typical soup with farm fresh golden cauliflower. ...continue reading about Golden Cauliflower and Ginger Soup...
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...
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...
Sprouts
Back in the summer I started Square Foot Gardening in order to grow my own organic vegetables. My garden consists of 32 square feet which allows me to have up to 32 different crops. It’s a true water and work saver and fresh things from a home garden are just amazing. ...continue reading about Sprouts...
