It’s holiday season–and what works better at the holidays than a holiday PARTY? My friend Cara is hosting a full month of festivities in the form of a Clean Eating Cocktail Party on her blog, with a new recipe for party food (you know–appetizers, finger foods, snacky stuff and yummy sweet treats) every day this […]

Roasted Red Pepper and Squash Soup
Regular readers of this blog won’t be surprised to learn that I am averse to cold weather. In fact, I dread it. Ever year as the thermometer drops, so do my spirits. I can’t help it; I hate winter. I hate winter so much that I shiver just at the thought of impending snow and […]
African-Inspired Spicy Squash and Fava Beans on Raw Collard “Tortillas”
Okay, everyone, please take up your positions. The Squash-a-thon is about to begin! On the one hand, fall is the season for marathons and runs. On the other hand, it’s also the season for squashes–anything from pumpkin (the first place frontrunner right now) to kabocha (my own pick for a winner) to acorn (cute curves) […]

Before I get to today’s recipe, I just wanted to say “thank you” for your kind comments, emails and tweets about the new Simply Gluten Free Magazine! I’m thrilled to be an Associate Editor handling vegan recipes for the magazine. If you haven’t heard about it yet, head over to the website to learn more! […]
Creamy Raw Almond-Pumpkinseed Pate
Sometimes you just get in the culinary groove, and thank the Great Gods of Grub when the recipes continue to flow easily and smoothly, like ganache over ice cream. This past week was one of those weeks for me. You know, the kind when you attempt to recreate an old favorite without gluten, eggs, dairy […]
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 […]
Grilled Romaine with Sweet and Smoky Dressing–and Sayonara, Dole Summit
Along with my final recap of the Dole Summit festivities, I decided to share this Grilled Romaine with Sweet and Smoky Dressing recipe today because, well, I’ve been pouting about it for days now (which can really make your lips tired after the first 7 or so hours). Okay, so I haven’t really been pouting […]
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 […]
