I don’t know who discovered the spinach artichoke dip combo, but whoever you are, I salute you. It could have been carrot broccoli dip, or celery tomato dip. But no, its spinach artichoke amazingness dip. It’s also a calorie bomb. Calorific, as one of my clients likes to say (which I actually didn’t even know [...]

  Last week I was talking with a client about Lo Mein. She loves it, and frequently orders takeout from a nearby Chinese restaurant. “Why not save some cash and calories and make your own?” I asked her. We did a quick search and found some healthy Lo Mein recipes online, including this one from [...]

Out of nowhere, I woke up this morning with the body and skin aches, throbbing headache, and all around crumminess. But it’s Sunday and it’s Passover! I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make THE Passover breakfast: Matzo Brei. Fortunately it’s quick to make…even my delicious veganized version: Ingredients: 1/2 container silken tofu 2 Tbsp [...]

File this under “tastes better than it looks.” No really. If you have a hankering for cheezy tofu scramble like I did, you’ll totally ignore the fact that it’s not the prettiest dish to come out of your kitchen. Ingredients: 2 blocks firm tofu, drained 4-5 handfuls of curly kale, cut into bite sized pieces [...]

When Heidi Swanson’s 101 Cookbooks recipe for Miso Sesame Winter Squash arrived in my inbox, I clicked over to it right away. I already had all of the sauce ingredients on hand, and only needed tofu and winter squash to complete the recipe. But last night when I finally mustered up the energy to make [...]

Things got a little hot in my kitchen the other night. Not only did I crank up the oven to roast the heck out of my broccoli and cauliflower made simply with olive oil, salt and pepper, but I also got a little firey-hot making some buffalo tofu. I had a block of tofu defrosting [...]

I don’t have many words for this post except: make this dish. Immediately. It’s another absolutely perfect Eating Well recipe and you can click here for the preparation instructions. 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 [...]

I don’t know why, but I seem to be in a cooking funk (not Funk) lately…no pun intended. This month has been overly crazy for the two of us, and I think it is sapping all of my creative cooking energy. Yes I’ve still been cooking, but it’s been the basics in our kitchen with [...]

In an effort to pare down the contents of our kitchen cabinets, I was digging through the other day and rediscovered these: I’ve had these spring roll wrappers that I bought in Chinatown for at least a couple years. I swear they don’t go stale! I love spring rolls, both eating them and making them. [...]

I started earlier in the day soaking the bulgur with equal parts bulgur and water. I really should incorporate bulgur into our repertoire more. It’s so insanely simple since you don’t even need to cook it! The bulgur soaks up all of the water in about an hour, and you’re ready to use it as [...]
