One of my goals a while back was to “master cooking Indian food,” since I love it so much. While I can’t say I’m a master quite yet, I’d like to think I’m getting there. Sometimes all it takes is a dash of Garam Masala to kick up a meal, other times, it takes a [...]

When looking for some meals to make for the week, I kept pulling up curry recipes. I must be in an Indian food phase (works for me!) because I have two on the docket for the next few days. The first one I made is this Indian Spiced Eggplant and Cauliflower Stew from Eating Well. [...]

Vacation seems to be the only time I get to catch up on my magazine subscriptions. Funk and I just returned from a sunny trip to Puerto Rico (post to come!) and I packed all of my unread Eating Well and Whole Living magazines for the flight and beach reading. It gave me the opportunity [...]

Happy New Year!!! While 2011 was incredibly good to me, I’m feeling especially excited for 2012. I have a feeling it’s going to be a huge year and can’t wait to see what’s to come in the next 12 months. I hope you and yours had a nice New Years, however you decided to ring [...]

I get many of my recipe inspiration from blogs, twitter, or random google searches. Most of the time, if I’m craving a certain food, I’ll just type it into the EatingWell.com recipe database and see what they recommend. But every so often, I tear out recipes from good ‘ol fashioned magazines (I subscribe to Eating [...]

If you love butternut squash, dark leafy greens, smokey tofu, a little spice, and hearty pasta dishes, you’ll want to make this asap. Ingredients: 2 teaspoons [...]

Have you tried brown basmati rice before? It’s my favorite variety of rice because 1) its whole grain and 2) it smells like popcorn when it cooks. I made a big batch of it over the weekend in the rice cooker, then headed to EatingWell.com to see what basmati rice recipes they had in store. [...]

Recently I was working with a client who had been caught up in following the latest fad diet and celebrity cleanse. We had just finished talking about using the term diet to indicate “ways of eating,” and not a calorie restricted meal plan one goes on (and then off) in an effort to lose weight [...]

I’ve declared my love for a good tofu scramble good number of times on the blog before. They’re so satisfying with all the protein from the tofu, and they’re a great way to toss in any random mix of fresh or leftover ingredients. I had about a cup of grilled summer squash leftover from our [...]

I’m not really a big coffee drinker…anymore. See, I really do love it, but I don’t love the caffeine. About a year and a half ago when I was drinking coffee near-daily, I cut it out of my life, to see if I could get through a morning decaffeinated. And I found not only was [...]
