I’m a huge fan of blueberries — I love them especially during the summer months. Not only are they a beautiful colour, but what’s more appealing to me is how many benefits they have.

While Dad was living he had several huge blueberry bushes. We'd get gallons of them each year & fill the freezers until the next year. Cobblers, cakes, plain, you name it, we ate them that way. Now I buy them & eat on any cereal, add to pancakes, or make any of my dozens of recipes men's sexuality

I love the addition of fruit in salads. The combination of sweet and salty with herbs and vinegar is so refreshing, especially on a warm afternoon. Wheatberries would also be a good addition to a salad!
Why are avocados so amazing? Not only do they taste delicious, they are also really good for you. Read more »

this recipe was tagged Vegan, so for those who are looking for such a recipe should be warned that "ghee" is NOT vegan, it's made from butter. I don't know if you can by a vegan substitute, but you can easily replace the ghee with vegan margarine or butter (like earth balance). I doubt you'd be able to tell much, if any, difference. :)

I picked up some blue cheese along with freshly picked apples at the local farmer’s market one weekend. When I got home, the two ingredients turned into this fresh summer salad with a toasted fennel and spicy pecan dressing. Read more »

This recipe comes from vegetarian food blogger, Kate, of Cookie & Kate. I love her blog because it’s chockfull of unexpected food combinations that approach the vegetarian and whole foods lifestyle with zest. Just because you choose to eat food close to the source and in season doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun. With her pup Cookie by her side, it seems like Kate is always playing it up in the kitchen, and it shows through in her recipes.

This week’s recipe comes from one of my favorite food blogging duos, Jack and Jeanine of Love & Lemons. Their blog is full of healthy (mostly vegetarian) and lactose free recipes that will make you salivate. Whenever I’m looking for healthy inspiration this is definitely a blog that I turn to. This week they prepared for us a Thai Coconut Cucumber salad that makes me yearn for late outdoor summer dinners. Read more »

I made this as part of dinner tonight, a side of an asian put-together meal. It was very satisfying, very Thai! I omitted the edamame (because I didn't want to bother with it) and tofu (since the rest of the meal I made focused largely on tofu), but instead used beech mushrooms, which worked out really well. I am a huge fan of mint used in savory dishes, and this certainly pleased me. After my boyfriend and I had our shares, plus the rest of the meal, I went back to finish the salad. I couldn't resist.

After church I saw this on twitter and thought "well I know what I'm having for lunch!" We didn't have red curry, so I learned how to make it! Instead of tofu I substituted with tilapia that had been broiled in butter and garlic salt. Since we were lacking arugula I just used romaine lettuce and added some spinach leaves in. I also sautéed some purple onions with a bit of butter, some of the red curry paste, and salt, then added those to the mix. I made it for my mother and I, and it was just delectable! We loved it. Even my brother (who doesn't like salad) was trying to devour mine. Thank you for posting this recipe! It was delicious. Next time I'll probably try using portobellos :)
Last Tuesday, I was so graciously invited to the seventh annual Great Chef’s Event, a night of charity and outstanding food to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand. Over 50 world-renowned chefs were in attendance here at the Navy Yard, whipping up their best bites for the cause. Read more »
