Guest Recipe: Stoplight Salad

My co-worker Melissa was telling me about a salad she made for her husband and three girls that she thought would be “nutritarian approved” so I asked her to send me the recipe. This is what she sent: Stoplight Salad Ingredients: 1 ripe avocado, cubed 1 pint of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half 3 ears… Read More Guest Recipe: Stoplight Salad

Today’s Menu 5/12/2017

Just a quick post– I hope to add a “Friday Facts” post later. Earlier this week I made a butternut squash soup using a recipe from the Forks Over Knives cookbook. There was not quite enough left for a meal so I supplemented it with a package of steam-in-the-bag frozen cauliflower. I’ve also packed up… Read More Today’s Menu 5/12/2017

Today’s Menu 5/10/2017

My salad has a bit of an Italian theme with tomato, cucumber, parsley, red onion and a sprinkle of oregano. I have some low cal Italian dressing to go with it that is also very low fat. It is important to eat some fat when you eat greens but mine will come from the tablespoon… Read More Today’s Menu 5/10/2017

Today’s Menu 5/8/2017

There was a great story on NPR this morning about prescribing a “fresh foods pharmacy” to patients with diabetes and other health issues. I’m not going to recap it but it certainly brought a smile to my face as I was chopping veggies for today’s menu. I hope this idea catches on! My salad today… Read More Today’s Menu 5/8/2017

FOK “No-Cheese” Sauce — It Works!

The Forks Over Knives (FOK) cookbook includes a recipe they call “No-Cheese” sauce. They include this sauce in lots of recipes so I figured it had to be good. But reading the ingredients — it sounded bizarre. I really did not understand how it could possibly work as a “cheesy” sauce or any kind of… Read More FOK “No-Cheese” Sauce — It Works!

Emergency Bean Salad #2

Someday I hope to have time to cook something again, but in the meantime … This is only for pseudo emergencies because it requires having recently gone to the store. But with only two ingredients it doesn’t get much simpler.  Ingredients: Store-bought pico di gallo Canned low or no-sodium black or other beans, rinsed Instructions:… Read More Emergency Bean Salad #2

Friday Facts: Diet and Prostate Cancer

So, this is another long-ish excerpt from Dr. Michael Greger’s excellent book: “How Not To Die“. He makes a big point in his book about giving all the content on his website, nutritionfacts.org, out for free so I hope he will not mind that I am including these long excerpts. I was inspired to post… Read More Friday Facts: Diet and Prostate Cancer

Emergency Bean Salad #1

When you have no time, or no energy, to cook, this will get the job done. And though it is simple, it will be tastier, and a million times more nutritious, than any fast food meal or S. A. D. (standard American diet) takeout.  Ingredients: 1 package “steam in the bag” vegetables  1/2 can beans… Read More Emergency Bean Salad #1
