[Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s quick and easy–no fuss. 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 simple to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] […]

Meaty Eggplant Burgers
Summer was made for Bar-B-Q’s! Even those of us who don’t eat meat still love the idea of outdoor cooking, far from the heat of a kitchen stove, the UV rays tickling our skin as we inhale sun-soaked breezes. Firing up the barbie is one of the simplest ways to prepare a meal, and it’s […]
Kitchen Classics: Kale Salad, Fully Loaded
[With added hemp seeds, sprouts, radish, apple and chopped pecans] It’s been a crazy couple of weeks here in the DDD household, what with mega-marking for my classes at the college, a whirlwind trip to Montreal (more on that anon), the regular array of doctor’s appointments, a quick visit for a dental emergency (my molar […]
Faux Kombucha
[Our potluck salad feast!] Last week, I alluded to the annual potluck I host for my nutrition buddies. As it turned out, 2011 was the first time in eight years that I missed it (why thank you horrible flu, awful weather, and chaotic schedule with 200 student assignments to mark within one week). Needless to […]

Salad Squared at the Dole Summit: Salad Samplings, Salad Ballet and Salad Recipe
[My own creation, inspired by our group’s favorite sample salad. See recipe, below.] After a whirlwind three days at the Dole Salad Summit, I finally woke up yesterday in my own bed. Glancing out the window, it seemed to me that something was a little “off”: the sky outside looked just a little little […]
Olive-Quinoa Salad with Olive Shortbreads (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan)
Some decisions in life are just no-brainers. Did I wish to get a second dog after Elsie? Uh-huh. Should I move in with the HH? Duh. Do I present at Nourished when asked? Uh, yeah. Will I accept when Ellen finally invites me onto her show? OF COURSE I WILL!! And when Casey of KitchenPLAY […]
Spectacular Spring Salad
Before I begin this review–and in the spirit of full disclosure–I must confess to you all that my opinions in this blog post are biased. No, not because I was paid to do this review (which I wasn’t); not because I received a free copy of the book (which I did); and not because I […]
Kitchen Classics: Chickpea Pot Pie
With our wacky summer-like temperatures this past week breaking records more than once, it may seem out of sync to post a pot pie recipe. And even though I first made this a few weeks ago, we’ve been enjoying it regularly since then. I like to think of it as my final nod to the winter weather that […]
Greek-Inspired, Soy-Free Breakfast Scramble

Thank you, thank you, Ellen, once again for your generosity in sharing my recipes! And thank you to reader Weisserose for letting me know about it […]
