Buffalo Tofu Wraps
Love the flavor of buffalo chicken, but want to try something healthier? Buffalo tofu wraps might just work out for you then. Many people don’t like the flavor of tofu, but what I love about it is that it’s one of those foods that easily takes on the flavor of whatever you season it with. [...]
Apple Date (or Prune!) Bars
Here’s another recipe that I found online and thought was worth re-posting. It’s delicious for breakfast or as a snack and contains tons of great vitamins, fiber, and nutrients. Instead of using regular flour, I opted for the gluten-free kind since I sometimes cut out all gluten products for a week. I find that going [...]
Smokey Chipotle Turkey Burgers
Anil usually makes fantastic Indian style masala burgers, but last week, it was time to toss something different on the grill. Bring on the chipotle! For those of you who have never had chipotle peppers, they are essentially smoked jalapeños. You can find them canned with Adobo sauce in the grocery store. We added the [...]
Curried Quinoa Bowl
If you’ve never tried quinoa before, you’re missing out on a great rice / grain substitute which happens to be an excellent source of protein and dietary fiber. Quinoa is a grain often found and eaten in South America. The cooking process is similar to rice, which makes it easy to prepare. I often whip [...]
Olive Oil & Herbes de Provence Pita Pizza
I love pita pizzas! Pocket-less pita bread makes a perfect pizza crust and allows you to create personal pizza with just about any topping you like. I recently experimented with a light olive oil base to create a nice and light pizza to go along with a wonderful glass of French wine. Here’s what I [...]

Spicy Asian Soup with Bok Choy
Try this Asian-style veggie soup for a light and healthy lunch or dinner. It’s super comforting, especially in winter. You can easily adjust the salt and spice level by adding more soy sauce or chili oil or paste. Ingredients (for two people) 32 fl. oz of vegetable broth (I like Pacific Natural Foods low sodium [...]

Red Quinoa with Corn-Avocado Salad
If you’ve never tried quinoa, you might not know how to cook it at first. Luckily, this grain that is mostly found in South America, is as easy to handle as rice. If you can boil rice, you can cook quinoa. Although you can certainly eat it alone, I thought it tasted particularly good with [...]
