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...
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...

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...
This recipe could serve a few different purposes: it could give you a great way to use up an excess of kale, it could give you a great alternative to yet another mixed greens salad, or it could give kale a whole new flavor profile in your head that you...
This is a vegetarian dish where there is so much going on flavor-wise, you never even realize that there’s no meat. Sweet chunks of red bell pepper meet with tart pieces of eggplant and meld together in the spices for a fantastic stew that is rich in vitamin c and...
In my ongoing quest to discover recipes low in fat and high in protein, fiber and nutrients, I came across this one. While it’s not necessarily what I would term “soup weather” in New England right now, this really doesn’t heat up the kitchen all that much, and it’s packed...
