Arugula Pizza
Hey everyone! Last year when I was visiting my aunt in New Jersey, we got take-out from one of her favorite spots, which was surprisingly the cafe in Nordstroms! We got the best pizzas I ate during my whole trip...but the secret to their greatness was a little off-menu 'mistake' that happened one time when my … Continue reading Arugula Pizza

Crispy Popcorn Tofu
I have spent the last two months trying to master cooking tofu. And I think I have finally nailed it! It's actually very easy. I avoided cooking tofu for years since it is so mysterious- sitting in a package of water in the spinach area of grocery stores, sucking up basically a whole roll of … Continue reading Crispy Popcorn Tofu

Chicken Tahini Stir-fry
Over the summer, I had a random idea one morning while cooking for my client Rose. I had bought some tahini and some Bragg's amino acids, but didn't really know what to do with either. I came up with this recipe, totally my own creation, that everyone said was crazy. Scott barely wanted to try … Continue reading Chicken Tahini Stir-fry

http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/healthscience/2012/january/coconut-oil-touted-as-alzheimers-remedy/ This article discusses how coconut oil may slow the growth of Alzheimer's cells. It kind of seems like the brain needs to accept glucose, and part of this disease is preventing that. The cells die, and they can't accept glucose anymore. "But there is an alternative fuel -- ketones, which cells easily accept. Ketones … Continue reading Coconut Oil: ANOTHER benefit…
Stuffed Peppers
I felt super inspired while cooking the other day, and decided to try stuffed bell peppers. First I made a huge pot of golden quinoa, but I think this recipe would be just as good with instant brown rice. I steamed zucchini, mushrooms, and broccoli, cut up very small. Then I browned some 1% lean … Continue reading Stuffed Peppers
