If you follow my blog and the recipes I post, you might start to think that a lot of the dishes are similar. Well, essentially they are. I tend to have a grain as a base, lots of mixed vegetables and a sauce to top it off. I cooked some lentils and quinoa in the morning so...

Simple salads are often the best, especially when you have rich toppings. I bought some yellow cherry tomatoes the other day because they looked so delicious.

There are many benefits to eating foods in raw form. Some people are “raw foodists” and don’t eat cooked food at all. They believe that heating food over 118F destroys many of the nutrients and diminishes the natural life energy. If you think about it, a cooked seed won’t grow, but a raw seed will. ...

Whenever I can’t decide what to make for dinner, I usually just combine a lot of different foods into a pot. This is a great way of discovering new tastes, as well as using up what is in the fridge. In this case, I had chickpeas, quinoa, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, coconut milk and snap peas. ...
