Please Standby

by Ricki Heller 21 Comments

I’m going to be dashing around town for the next couple of days, doing cooking classes (short notice, but if you’re in the Toronto area, I’ll be at the Bayview/Sheppard Loblaws tonight at 7:00–would love to meet you!), and then my friend Babe is coming to town tomorrow, so I won’t have much time for cooking […]

A Bowl Lotta Love

by Ricki Heller 60 Comments

[Thanks to everyone who left such sweet comments and encouragement for the hellish week of marking!  (And I know I still owe some of you emails. . . coming soon!) Some of you who are students noted that you’d be doing as much work on the other side of the red pen. Whether students, parents, […]

The Simple Life* (and Smoothie)

by Ricki Heller 49 Comments

* [Absolutely no relation to the reality show of the same name] ## [That is one MoFo huge smoothie!] Now that the holidays are over and a new, fervently hopeful year has begun, I’ve decided to simplify my life. It might have been the post-apocalyptic array of file folders, sticky notes, to-do lists (to-do lists ON sticky […]

The Wait is Over/The Weight is Under

by Ricki Heller 23 Comments

I know, that title sounds like something straight out of my Post-Modern Literary Criticism class (oooh, I shudder just re-thinking it!).  But both bits of news cheered me so much that I wanted to share them in the same post! The Wait is Over: Just when I thought I could wait no longer, I received my […]

Musings on Food and Meme-ish Fun

by Ricki Heller 16 Comments

Sometimes, despite all good intentions, things do go awry. On Friday, I had a little luncheon date with two former classmates from nutrition school.  I always look forward to these meetings, since these women (besides sharing the NAG diet philosophy) are invariably funny, witty, and generally loads of fun to be with.  The meeting had […]

Kitchen Sink Kitchari (an Anti-Candida Stew)

by Ricki Heller 35 Comments

[UPDATE, JUNE 2010:  In March, 2009, I began a much more serious (and much more restrictive) candida diet after suffering from myriad candida symptoms for more than 6 months.  Finally, with a raging rash taking over my torso, I had to succumb and begin the diet afresh.  After 15 months (so far) I’m 90% better, […]

Sweet Potato and Ginger Salad

by Ricki Heller 32 Comments

[Sweet Potato and Ginger Salad–recipe below.] Ah, yes, life is sweet.  Not so much in the “I’m a celebrity, I haven’t a care in the world, I’m revoltingly rich, beautiful and vacuous” kind of way; but more in the “every which way I turn I see or think ‘sweet,’ most recently the chocolate chip blondies I devoured last week” kind […]

Pre-Blog Entry Blog Entry

by Ricki Heller 17 Comments

Just poking my head in now that I finally see an end to all this work.  I wish I could tell you I’ve been away so long because I’ve been galavanting in Europe, or galavanting in Australia, or even galavanting in the Muskokas–but nay. Sadly, I’ve just been entangled by a monstrous pile of assignments to […]

Lucky Comestible III (4): Lentil Pistachio Patties

by Ricki Heller 18 Comments

[I thought it would be fun to run a little series over here at DDD: I’ll profile one one of my favorite foods, or a food that I’ve recently discovered and enjoyed, over several days.  For this third entry, I’m focusing on Avocados. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky […]
