Rice pudding can be a great way to use up left-over rice (unless, of course, you’re me and typically cook your grains in a savory meat stock). It’s a little sweet and a lot creamy and, this version at least, full of a variety of textures. I particularly like to...
This recipe is a great way to get some low-fat protein and fiber worked into your diet with a huge flavor profile. It’s simple to make and only takes about half an hour from start to finish. And did you know that the Chinese black bean, also known as Douchi,...
This meal was inspired by a recipe posted on WHF for Asian Sauteed Cauliflower. I say “inspired by” because, of course, it grew into something very different. The stand-out element here is the dressing that you make for the vegetables. It’s a little salty and a little sweet, and it’s...
Alas, this dish has no cute story to go with it. Just a fantastic flavor profile, and lots of textures. It’ll make your home smell wonderful and you’ll be wanting to sample straight from the pan all the while it cooks. And that’s not a bad idea either. This way...
To go along with our chicken-pesto sandwiches on flax foccaccia I made this very simple citrus beet salad. Beets are fantastic for you and offer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support for your body (according to WHF), plus they’re great for your colon. And who doesn‘t love a healthy colon, right? ...
Last year I went on a bus trip with my Gram to Tanglewood to see a show and a bagged lunch was part of the package provided by the Senior Center. I can honestly say that I ate my bagged lunch and disliked it greatly. I informed my Gram then...
Now that we’ve had the tiniest turn in the weather here in New England, I feel as though I can post a soup recipe again without being driven from the free land of the internets 😉 This soup is high in protein, low in fat, and has a wealth of...
A while back I had tried out Heidi’s recipe for a healthier version of the standard peanut butter cookie and really enjoyed them. Then the other day I was working on new recipe development for a makeover of the Peanut Butter Blossom and couldn’t get the phrase “peanut-butter-jelly-time” out of...
This dish was the best way that I have ever had salmon prepared. It’s zesty and flavorful, has a great variety of textures, and is super-healthy. Grilling the fish avoids stinking heating up the house on these days of 90+ degrees and ridiculous humidity, and it allows it to get...
So I saw this kind of strange-looking recipe that was intended as an alternative to mashed potatoes as a side. I figured, what the heck, I’ll try anything once. So I did. And I am sooooo glad. While this is absolutely no substitute for mashed potatoes, it is a fantastically...
