Spring Chick Pea Salad with Toasted Almonds and Peppers
We’re getting into salad season! If you’re craving something fresh and colorful, this salad not only looks festive but is very satisfying with the combination of textures. I added some roasted cauliflower but it’s just as good without it. Enjoy by itself (chick peas are a great source of protein) or as a side dish. […]
Dojo’s Soy Burger Dinner
My favorite restaurant growing up was Dojo in the East Village. It served the phenomenal Soy Burger Dinner with the INSANE carrot ginger dressing that remained $3.95 for decades! I ate there as a middle schooler (what we called Junior high), a High Schooler, a college student, a social worker and then a pregnant mom. […]
Tangy Cannellini Beans with Roasted Red Pepper
Hello everyone, My son is in a CBD oil study at Albert Einstein which means that I get to get out of dodge once a month. It may seem like a chore to drive all the way to the Bronx but it’s what you DO when you get to the Bronx that makes it exciting! […]
Roasted Carrots with Lemony Labne and Za’atar
Hello everyone! I LOVE carrots and they’re even better when they are roasted. You can seriously whip up this side dish in no time like a pro if you keep a few ingredients on hand like the shelf stable za’atar spice blend and some Greek Yogurt if you don’t have Labne. Throw some protein on […]
Homemade Pita Chips-EASY!!!!
Hi everyone, Please don’t waste food! If you buy 3 bags of fresh and delicious pita bread and they get old and hard because the kids in your house say they love pita but then don’t eat it and you get really annoyed because you work so damn hard to keep the inventory moving and […]
Rosemary Coconut Quinoa with Tofu
Hello all! I forgot to plant herbs this year so I was extra excited when my friend Tim once again gave me his overload of garden delights. I’m talking chives, rosemary, basil, thyme, sage and even some tomatoes! I brought a large stash with me on vacation and incorporated some of them into a dish […]
Bingeing On Healthy Food
Some of us, sometimes, binge. I know I do. I recently met a cookbook author who was hell bent on sharing the info that if we just make a slight mental shift, we can binge but not necessarily set ourselves into a tailspin of eating garbage for the rest of the day, night, week or […]
Quinoa with Cinnamon, Fennel and Prunes and Food, Technology and Labeling
Happy new year, everyone! I will cut to the chase: 2018 sucked in many ways for me and for many others. I don’t like to be negative but I’m just putting it out there because as Socrates says, “An unexamined life is not worth living”. We need to deal with the crap that is presented […]
Awesome Ed Carine’s Chicken Salad
Hello everyone, Oh, this weekend was amazing! We had our annual Parents Who Rock backyard fundraiser and the performers were so talented and generous with their time. We raised funds and awareness for KIND, Kids In Need of Defense. Check them out and feel free to contact me to donate if you were unable to […]
Indian Inspired Eggplant
There’s a mobile produce truck that stops at different places in my town. I finally made it to one of the stops last week and picked up some tomatoes and eggplant. They came in pretty handy when I needed to make a side dish for my sister’s Roshashanah dinner. Sadly not everyone likes nightshades but […]
