Years back I used to make homemade pizza every week and enjoy an episode of Friends. I’m certain that Joey could smell it through the airwaves! I craved both the show and the crunch of my favorite crust. Since television no longer appeals to me I have to find other excuses to make pizza…ha ha…not [...]
My no time to cook lifesaver…Quinoa Bowl The last semester at school left me with some pretty long days. On Mondays/Tuesdays you would find me coming home from work only to walk right out again for my night class. I had little time to do much of anything. Oftentimes I would chill my face in [...]
For me, Summer = Tomatoes. I am sure you are figuring this out by now. My garden is full of roma, beefsteak, big boy, and grape tomatoes. Some are ripe and ready to pick while others are just beginning to ripen and a couple plants are just beginning to produce. I prefer to space out [...]
Have you ever bought beets with their beautiful greens still intact? And then thought…great, that’s a lot of waste. Ahhhh ha! They are not a waste! First, they keep your beets tasting fresher and keep in some nutrients by stopping oxidation. Second, they are really tasty in their own right! Don’t toss out the greens! [...]
Yes, my summer is stacked! With work, with travels, with visitors, with fun, and of course with beautiful garden-fresh vegetables! This dish is a garden inspiration! I hope you try this next time you have eggplant and pesto on hand. Grilled Pesto-Infused Eggplant and Tomato Stacks Ingredients: 1 Eggplant, slice into thick rounds 2-3 beefsteak [...]
There are those who have taken on an iconic role as fitness & nutrition experts. We have all grown up with them…Richard Simmons (don’t deny it, he is a lover of fitness), Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jane Fonda (although Vietnam Vets remember her for different reasons), Ellie Krieger (a favorite dietitian of mine), Denise Austin…and the list [...]
After spending my day stuck in a library doing extensive research I found myself driving home and not wishing to prepare anything and really just vegetating the night away. I thought about pizza–love it, but not in the mood. Thought about Thai food, but my favorite Thai Restaurant (Tamarind in La Mesa) was closed until [...]
Like many my lunch breaks seem to involve work (not much of a “break”). With that said, I continue my quest for quick and easy lunch ideas. Lunch time is one of the areas I encourage my clients to increase their vegetable intake, and for me that can even be a challenge. Today’s lunch was [...]
Grilled cheese sandwiches are pure comfort food! The rain is keeping me inside today, and I am craving comfort food. I am not willing to take too much time off to prepare lunch so I opt for a can of Campbell’s Italian Wedding Soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. I get the Campbell’s Select Harvest [...]
Currently, my San Diego garden is overflowing with tomatillos. Did I plant them? Nope! They are actually gifts from my compost. Don’t you just love it when that happens? I do! My late Aunt Julie was the first to introduce to the concept of composting, and to her I am forever grateful. Every year when [...]
