Quinoa Potato Cakes & Mustard-Yogurt Sauce

March 11, 2012 38 Comments

Quinoa Potato Cakes & Mustard-Yogurt Sauce

Veggie burger of quinoa, potatoes, pumpkin seed meal and spinach, topped with a mustard-yogurt sauce. A couple of days ago, I posted about the newest addition to my evolving pantry - pumpkin seed meal; and promised to post this recipe that uses it in place of traditional wheat-based breadcrumbs. Making this simple change is such an easy way to make something just a little healthier, and natural. A baby step, so to speak. In truth, revolutionary changes I try to take on are less than ...

The Perfect Cauliflower Steak Dinner

The Perfect Cauliflower Steak Dinner

Cauliflower steaks, dry rubbed with chipotle spice, topped with a kale pesto and browned butter breadcrumbs, and laid over a citrus salad. There are challenges to shifting your eating patterns if you’re the only one in your family making that shift. This time last year, I was trying to be 100% vegetarian, while Myles patiently stayed on the sidelines waiting for me to come to my senses. Initially, he was open to all the kale and whole grains that started showing up on the table; but over ...

Winter Citrus Salad & Maple Vinaigrette

Showcase colorful blood oranges and Satsuma tangerines in this easy, healthy winter salad dressed in a maple-orange juice vinaigrette. Swing by any market this month, and you'll find a startling variety of colorful, Rubenesque - plump oranges at their peak; heavy with natural juices, and sweet enough for a healthy, satisfying dessert . Here in California, we're lucky to have such a broad variety of oranges grown locally or nearby; so many kinds, in fact, that I feel guilty if I don't take ...

Moroccan Orange Salad with Quinoa

Moroccan salad of oranges and kalamata olives dressed in a spicy vinaigrette. Add peppery arugula and quinoa for a vegetarian main dish. The topic for this month's Bloghop is Citrus, which is a perfect theme for this time of year for two big reasons. First, because I'm ready for lots of fruits and veggies after the holidays. I should add, that doesn't mean I won't be posting some citrus desserts this month, just that I'm not starting with one. And second, because citrus is at it's ...

Caramelized Squash and Kale Salad

December 31, 2011 8 Comments

Caramelized Squash and Kale Salad

Kale salad tossed in a cider and honey vinaigrette, topped by squash caramelized with brown sugar.   The celebrations of Christmas and Hanukkah are behind us; the hustle and bustle of  the New Year not quite here. In between, lies the gift of a few days of quiet; a natural pause, to exhale, and slip inside myself to reflect over the past year, and to think about the year ahead. Hardly revolutionary. In fact, this tradition is thought to date from 153 B.C. with the placement of ...

I'm a mostly vegetarian married to a mostly carnivore and am on a constant hunt for healthy, delicious recipes we'll both like. Most recipes here are vegetarian with tips for adding meat or fish for the meat-eaters at the table. Whether you're vegetarian, or just wanting to eat less meat, I hope you'll find inspiration here to try something new for your own table, even if you're sharing it with someone with different eating preferences.
