SOS Kitchen Challenge: BEETS–The Roundup!

by Ricki Heller 22 Comments

It’s time for the very first SOS (Sweet or Savory) Kitchen Challenge Roundup!  When Kim and I first introduced the first SOS Kitchen Challenge last month, we decided to choose an ingredient that we both liked and that would suit both our specialized diets.  But we had no idea so many of you also adored the ruby […]

Brilliantly Beet Smoothie

[EL-LENd Me a Hand campaign update: Ellen listed my humble little self-published cookbook on her “Books Ellen Reads” page!  I couldn’t be more thrilled–and I know it only came about because of all of you–so thank you, thank you!  This quest also seems to have developed a life of its own. . . seems a […]

Apple Pie Smoothie

by Ricki Heller 36 Comments

Thanks, everyone, for your great comments on yesterday’s post!  Honestly, I hadn’t thought that the “beeteroni” (thanks, Leah) was as far “out there” as it turned out to be, but am glad you liked the idea.  This ACD really does spark some unusual culinary adventures! [Quick housekeeping note before today’s post: I’ve been working on updating the blog and […]

Swamp Thing Smoothie*

by Ricki Heller 34 Comments

* Or, Oddly Alluring Blend of Mudlike Green Vegetables to Clear Your Sinuses [Don’t you expect a giant, hairy, muddy hand to suddenly lurch from under the surface of that liquid, and grab you?] I’ve enjoyed green smoothies for several years now, and they’ve always been a staple when I need a quick and nutrient-rich breakfast.  […]

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 […]

Flash in the Pan: Ginger-Mint Iced Tea

by Ricki Heller 18 Comments

[I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly, or else is so easy to make that no recipe is required.  Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.”] [Thanks to everyone who hazarded guesses about what type of peppers I’ve got flourishing in my backyard. . .

Mint Smoothie

by Ricki Heller 24 Comments

The home I grew up in could very well have been the original inspiration for the mantra, “Reuse, Repair, Recycle.” My dad, the quintessential progeny of The Great Depression, still saves everything from empty jam jars, to twine from UPS boxes, to old socks, to almost-moldy tomatoes, and puts them to use again in some […]

Juicy Cuisine and Crunchy Granola

by Ricki Heller 16 Comments

Part I:  THE JUICE SEGMENT (feel free to skip to Part II) We’re having some down time today at the DDD household, as today is the first-ever Family Day holiday in Ontario (I’ve always thought it only civilized to have a day off in February–the gap between New Year’s and Easter/Passover is just too long).  Everything government-related […]

Could This Be Love? Post V-Day Dinner

by Ricki Heller 6 Comments

Even though this morning was the first day of my chocolate detox, that didn’t stop me from having a whale of a time at our (slightly postponed) Valentine’s Day Dinner last evening.  With the weather being as inclement as ever, the HH and I began prepping our meal around 3:30 PM, and just kept at it till […]

Smooth Operator

by Ricki Heller 6 Comments

Way back in my salad days. . . . (Come on, now, who am I kidding? Okay, let’s start again): Way back in my cake-for-breakfast, Snickers-bar-for-breakfast, leftover-nachos-for-breakfast days, I was seemingly able to get it all done:  work at a burger joint until 1:30 AM, sleep five hours, get up and make it to school for […]
