Nourishing Miso Noodle Soup

February 14, 2011
miso-noodle
I have grown up in a culture that is obsessed with noodle soup, except the base isn’t miso, it’s chicken! There is nothing wrong with this, as chicken soup is for the soul…right? It will cure any ache, pain, cough, cold or flu and it must be served by your mom! The nostalgia and truth ... [Read more]

Fill me with Falafel

February 10, 2011
falafel-2
I love Mediterranean food and all it has to offer, hummus, tabule (as long as it’s quinoa based), salads, lentil soup and even falafel! But I can’t just indulge in any falafel as most are fried and often contain wheat flour. It is about time I made my own version. So last week I was ... [Read more]

It has taken me almost a week to collect my thoughts on the Oprah show from last week. If you missed it…find out more here. But just to give you some background on the show,  Oprah and 378 of the Harpo staff went vegan for one week. Well it all sounds good in theory but ... [Read more]

Light Green Soup 3
Once upon a cold winter’s day there was a dried  little green pea. It wanted so badly to be part of something bigger. So it asked a whole bunch of his friends to join him on a journey.

MUFFINSIMG_2412
I love making banana bread or banana muffins, it has to be my favourite thing to bake. This is probably because I grew up on chocolate chip banana muffins that my mom used to make. A batch of them were pretty much around every week while I was growing up and then a special birthday ... [Read more]

Wild Desert Plants (Smoothie)

January 7, 2011

I have been coming to Arizona for over 10 years, and I think I have taken my surroundings down here for granted. There is something just so pecular about the cactus. They portray most images that represent the southwest  as a wild desert plant. Everyone knows not to touch a cactus, and most would think ... [Read more]
