[Strawberry, kale, protein powder, chia and rice milk smoothie.] It’s no secret that I love breakfast (I even wrote an entire ebook about the meal), and smoothies are one of my very favorite breakfasts–they’re a delicious, nutritious way to start the day that’s also quick and easy (and who among us doesn’t love quick and easy? At […]

My Way of Eating*
*[Not to be confused with Morris Dithers’ answer in this classic SCTV skit.] [The main course table from my recent holiday potluck with nutritionist friends, clockwise from top left: [out of the photo–Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts]; Southwest Brown Rice Casserole with Beans [white bowl behind cutlery]; Tempeh-Brown Rice Curry and Vegetables; Baby Spinach Salad; Rutabaga […]
SOS: Sweet or Savory Sweet Potato Spread
[Fantastically versatile, high fiber and low(er) fat. . . savory spread, here on a raw veggie cracker.] It was while lunching with a friend in New York last weekend that I first had the inspiration for collard rolls with sweet potato spread. Okay, maybe it wasn’t exactly while we were lunching, but more like a day […]
SOS Kitchen Challenge for August
[Mint Chip Ice Cream–smooth, creamy, minty–and no ice cream maker required!] How did it get to be August 4th already?? To coin a cliché, the summer has flown by. It’s three quarters over and I’ve only had about three days off. What the–?? Some days, I feel like I’m living in that old Calgon commerical. Well, […]
Walnut-Cacao Nib Butter (& Variations!)
[Sometimes, you just want to eat something now. 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.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] [Ooohh-wee! Just […]
All About Stevia*

[Stevia-sweetened giant baked apple pancake] How did it get to be Sunday already, and five days since my last post? Well, I haven’t been lounging around watching soap operas and eating bon-bons, […]
Lucky Comestible 5 (1): Fresh & Spicy Cilantro Sauce
[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 fifth edition, I’m focusing on cilantro. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky […]
Über Healthy Kale and Seaweed Salad*
* Or, It’s a Privilege to Eat You (thanks, Whole Foods). Happy “Celebrating Our Country’s Freedom Day” to both Canadians and Americans (and anyone else who’d like to take part in the party!).** And before I forget (because I’m at that age when I do forget), let me also say “THANK YOU” to everyone for your […]
