Lately I’ve been on a mission to find simple healthy meals, with a hint of gourmet pizzazz that take 20-30 minutes or less to prepare in the kitchen. I’ve always been about that quick and easy meal life, but in the past months I’ve also become more aware that just because the ...
Being a vegetarian in Japan can be difficult, but with some effort and pre-planning it can also be very rewarding. We’ve had some of the most unusual and delicious meals we have ever eaten there. We love the food culture and find vegetarian food in Japan to be high quality, beautifully...
I did a test run with one banana, which made six cookies, which were enjoyed by my husband and me in one sitting…. Next time, I’m doubling the recipe. But for six cookies, here’s what you need: 1 banana 1/4 cup chocolate chips up to 1/2 cup matzah meal. HOW: preheat oven...
NOTE: My pie crust recipe is delicious, but if you have a preferred double-crust pie dough recipe, you can use that. OR, you can purchase pre-made, if you’d rather. NOTE:This is certainly not mandatory, but there’s a device called a ‘first-slice wedge’ that can be placed...

A: It will “stunt” my growth (which is to them is due to a “lack of calcium”, which I believe to be getting in the same amount as pre-vegetarian days) and B: Something about poultry and fish (yes, forced pesce-pollotarianism). How do I discuss with them that I truly want ...
Tuesday, Week 2, was a balanced day for me. Cooking in the morning was both wonderful – I made lemon drizzle biscuits, rhubarb crumble tart and a grapefruit and grape mint cocktail – and a tad traumatic – I had to joint a chicken. As a vegetarian, this was not a pleasurable experi...
