Blueberry waffles
August 17th, 2008 · No Comments
Bursting with juicy flavor, a handful of blueberries delivers more antioxidants than most fruits and vegetables. The antioxidants found in blueberries fight free radical damage, improve mental acuity, promote GI and heart health and help protect the collagen matrix. Add blueberries into your diet by tossing a handful into your salad, yogurt or cereal […]

French toast
August 1st, 2008 · No Comments
The French and the English have officially called a truce in the making of this recipe. We use a high-fiber (8 grams each), multi-grain Thomas’ Light English Muffin and egg whites as the foundation of this delicious breakfast. We topped it with mangoes today (gotta eat them while they’re still in season) and […]

Tuna fish salad
July 29th, 2008 · No Comments
This isn’t the lunch lady’s tuna salad. Influenced by the Mediterranean, this tuna is prepared with olive oil, red grapes, Bubbies pickles and olives. A sweet and salty variation of this tuna fish sandwich lends itself to those who crave a more sophisticated tuna salad.

My favorite way of eating pork has always been in the form of bacon cooked to a crisp, a side to a stack of pancakes, and dipped in maple syrup. So the other day, as I was perusing the meat section of my local grocer, I got inspired to venture into a different part of […]

Just slice up your favorite veggies (I used asparagus, yellow squash and orange bell pepper), drizzle with olive oil, shake a little sea salt and pepper and roast […]

Fingerlings instead of fries
July 5th, 2008 · No Comments
Fingerling potatoes, the much smaller relative of the conventional potato, get their name from their elongated and knobby appearance. They come in a variety of colors such as white, gold, red and purple and are more flavorful than their larger counterparts. Unhappily potatoes sometimes get a bad rap because they are high in carbohydrates and […]

Sole food
June 21st, 2008 · No Comments
The catch of the day is line caught sole just purchased from the local farmer’s market. The summer heat inspires me to make fish tacos, bringing back memories of a Baja roadside taco stand on a hot and dusty summer day.
