Comfort Food-Healthy Meat Loaf!
Love meat loaf but hate the fat?  Here’s a recipe that uses turkey breast but is surprisingly moist! It also has an extra dose of veggies, so you can feel virtuous about eating it.  I love turkey loaf with sweet potatoes, kinda reminds me of Thanksgiving… which is THE BEST. Meat loaf tastes great the day you make it and also makes terrific sandwiches the next day. I love to freeze a...

Curried Lentils with Spinach
Aren’t lentils great??? They cook quickly and don’t need to be soaked overnight.  They come in lots of colors, and are a good inexpensive source of protein. I love lentils in soup, as a main dish over couscous or quinoa, or as a side dish.  This recipe works as a side dish (I just had it with tempeh cutlets) or as a main dish, and is a cinch to make!

“Dear Food Revolutionary, Huge news! Last night on the Jimmy Kimmel show, Superintendent of Los Angeles Unified School District John Deasy announced to Jamie that he’s going to recommend that LA schools stop serving sugar-filled flavored milks in school! Amazing! And it couldn’t have happened without your hard work and support. This just shows that when thousands of us come...

CHOCOLATE
I feel like I have been writing about desserts a lot lately, which is strange because I am usually more of a savory person. Interesting…. OK, so I went to this little LA food festival called Artisinal LA over the weekend, and I tasted this AMAZING chocolate.  The company is called Masala Chocolates and they specialize in vegetarian and vegan friendly chocolates.  They don’t use any...

Too healthy to be called dessert...
..yet surprisingly satisfying! The age ol’ dilema. You ate well all day, and you are feeling great, but you’re still craving something sweet. Darn you body!!! It happens to all of us. This dessert is nice because it is simple, healthy, and pretty delicious.  Now, this isn’t the kind of dessert you make to impress your boyfriend, or to spring on a dinner party, but if...

Health quiz...
A good quiz to take…this makes you aware of some health risks down the road.   I have to say that I did not ace this quiz, see how you do! http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/05/13/health/20080513_WELL_SECTION.html

Kinda makes you lose your appetite for popcorn...
Movie theater popcorn can sometimes entice you with it’s fresh popped aroma. But beware the calories and sodium lurking in that bag can be scarier than the movie… http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/19/popcorn/ I know it’s not playing by the rules, but I’ve been known to pop my own, put it in a ziplock bag, and bring it to the theater with me.  Hey, if they had healthy...

Multi Purpose Tofu... pie?
So, this is something I created because I am tired of breakfast foods. Every day I eat eggs with toast and salad, a smoothie, oatmeal, or Mama Bear toast with pecan butter and jam. HOW MANY DAYS CAN A GIRL EAT THE SAME THING??? Apparently many, but today was the end of that! This is a fun breakfast because it is sweet, but it is also healthy and will give you protien to fuel the rest of your...

Spring is in the air!
Spring has sprung and it time to change up the menu a bit.   I love to eat tomato soup during the spring because it is a light meal, yet extemely satisfying.  If it is really hot out, you can also eat the soup cold, OR pour the soup into an ice cube tray and use them instead of ice in Bloody Marys!!! Yeah!!!! Here is a very simple and healthy Tomato Soup recipe! Tomato Soup Soup: 1 onion...

Are you on the quest for delicious bread but are finding most allergen free breads are barely worth it? Check this toasty bad boy! http://julianbakery.com/ My favorite is the Mama Bear bread (it is on the second page of breads).  It is sweetened with honey and full of delicious poppy seeds… also, it is ROUND, what is not to love!? So, what is this bakery all about… “Quality...

Pumpkin Pudding with banana and berries
I love pumpkin!!!  It’s so healthy and makes terrific desserts…muffins, pies, tea cake, I could go on and on, but I won’t… or will I? But as always, the quest for healthy desserts continues. A sinful dessert is an occasional splurge, but HELLO I want dessert everyday! I adapted this recipe from a book I’m reading called Superfoods*.  According to this author (and to...

Garlic & Ginger Marinated Tempeh Cutlets
I love tempeh.  It is one of those things that I always keep in my fridge.  It is quick and easy, and it can last at least a week unopened.  It has a more meaty texture than tofu, so some people find it to be more palatable when seasoned correctly! Tempeh, on its own, is kind of bland. You can’t just throw it in a pan and expect to wow your friends and family.  So here’s a recipe that...

Apple & Strawberry Crisp
I’m always on the lookout for desserts that are healthy and easy to prepare.  Feeling a sweet tooth coming on, I whipped up this apple & strawberry crisp.  Not only is it super easy, but you’ll only need a baking dish, one little mixing bowl, and 30 minutes from start to finish! I’ve started experimenting with coconut sugar, which is supposed to have a lower glycemic index...
