Well, seems I’m on a raw kick this week–here’s a second raw recipe in a row (and also a tongue-twister using “R” words!). As promised, I’m going to offer the recipe for “Cultured Vegetables” from my Total Health course. Every time I utter the name of this recipe, I can’t help thinking, “As opposed to what? Crass, […]

Mock Green Papaya Salad
As you may have noticed, I love blogging. When something prevents me from engaging in my (almost) daily trio of cooking, eating, and writing about it, I feel a bit deprived. The strangest triggers will spark a barrage of blogging ideas, and then I’m off. One of the greatest side effects of blogging is that it […]
Classic Massaged Kale Salad
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). […]
Week at Warp Speed and Easy Dinner
What? Can it really be that a week has gone by already? While it does feel like a long time since I’ve been blogging (and boy, did I ever miss it), I am amazed at how quickly these seven days have whizzed by. So, how did I spend my week of catch-up? First, I resolved to eat only […]
Bittersweet Salad with Apples and Dandelion Greens
Why, oh why did I choose Sundays? What was I thinking? I must have been on a chocolate high at the time and totally out of it. Otherwise, why on EARTH would any sane person choose Sunday morning to track her weight loss (which, at this point, is actually a misnomer; for, as of this morning, I am now […]
Could This Be Love? Post V-Day Dinner
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 […]
Lucky Comestible I(4): Sweet Potato-Cranberry Hash
[This week’s Lucky Comestible is sweet potatoes; here’s part 4 in the series. ] Finding recipes that use familiar ingredients in new ways is almost as much fun for me as finding completely new ingredients. For instance, I loved it when I started to bake with all kinds of veggies in cakes, cookies, or other desserts […]
Asian-Inspired Napa Cabbage Salad
A few weeks ago when I hosted a pot luck dinner for some friends from my nutrition school days, I promised on this blog to post all the recipes from the evening. This napa cabbage salad was originally on the menu (but got usurped by Isa and Terry’s Caesar). Well, tonight we ate the salad with/for dinner, so […]
A Joy: Pot Luck Club
I’m still quite new to blogging, and I certainly proved it last evening. At my house was a group of six amazing women–three whom I met at my nutrition school, one from a long-ago volunteer gig, and the last as a participant in one of my (now defunct) cooking classes–and each brought at least one fantastic, high-saliva […]
