Once again I’m posting one small section from Dr. Michael Greger’s excellent book “How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease which I HIGHLY recommend buying and reading. What About All the Sugar in Fruit? There are a few popular diets out there that urge people to stop eating fruits… Read More Friday Facts: Isn’t Fruit Full of Sugar?
Last week as I was poking though the kitchen cupboards thinking “what is all this stuff?” I found a bag a quinoa that I had bought last winter. When I saw it in the store I remember thinking “Why don’t I ever make quinoa? ” And then I bought it — and never made quinoa.… Read More Quinoa Tabouleh Salad
I’d seen this on the interwebs a while back but totally forgot about until my friend Barry sent me a link. Some of the toppings are non-nutritarian but it gives the idea: I don’t own a toaster (don’t have toast enough to make it worthwhile) so I couldn’t do it exactly as they suggest. And… Read More Sweet Potato Toast
A post came through my feed the other day about eating a whole food, plant-based diet on $1.50 per day. Yes — per day. This was not something the writer was advocating — it was a challenge she gave herself to gain perspective on world poverty — but I found it very thought provoking. That… Read More Saving Money at the Grocery Store
I decided I really shouldn’t call it “Today’s Menu” when breakfast and supper aren’t pictured. I’m out of “hand” fruit (apples, oranges, pears, bananas) so I will just have to suffer through having cut up mango for my afternoon snack. Mangos were two for a dollar at my store — two for a dollar! They… Read More Today’s Lunch Bag
I absolutely love this. And even though it contains no eggs or egg substitute or even tofu, it still feels like a breakfast “scramble” to me, I guess because the turmeric makes the cauliflower turn yellow. This is another recipe from the Forks Over Knives Cookbook. In the online version someone mentions pureeing the cauliflower… Read More FOK Cauliflower Breakfast Scramble
I’m starting to get a lot of recipes on the site — 23 total so far! To make them easier to navigate I have added tags to each recipe, and a tag cloud on the sidebar. Now if you are looking for ideas for breakfast you can just click the “breakfast” tag and all the… Read More Blog Update: Added Tags to Recipes
The below is from Dr. Michael Greger’s excellent book, “How Not To Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease“. A lot of this information was new to me, and I thought I would share it. Fun fact: The United States has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, but 30%… Read More Friday Facts: ED = Early Death (and why you may wish to stock up on pistachios)
This is a favorite breakfast of mine when I have the time to make it. I love it because the flavor is both sweet and savory, the colors are dynamite, and I love that I’m getting a serving of greens right away in the morning. Sometimes I spice it up with some chili powder, sometimes… Read More Sweets and Greens
Over the weekend I was visiting family in Minnesota and my sister Jane asked me if I wanted to look through mom’s old recipe boxes and see if there was anything I wanted. There were several that sparked inspiration in me for a nutritarian makeover, including an old classic — Three Bean Salad. The original… Read More Three Bean Salad
I’m going straight from work to the dance studio so in addition to my green salad for lunch I have a nutritarian-style three bean salad for supper. I’ll be posting the recipe for that later! My salad is pretty basic. That little pile of dust is a tablespoon of flax meal. I’m planning to use… Read More Today’s Menu 6/7/2017
Salad that tastes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Yes, it’s true. Or at least I think it does — let me know in the comments if you do too. This recipe is my own creation. I’ve not seen anything quite like it out there on the interwebs. Please note that this makes one… Read More PB and J Kale Salad
I really could not believe how tasty this salad was. I’m not a big fennel person but I wanted to mix things up a bit so thought I would give this recipe from the “Forks Over Knives” cookbook a try. It was just so fresh and delicious tasting! And it is super simple too. Ingredients:… Read More FOK Orange, Fennel and White Bean Salad
