We’ll be visiting friends next weekend and having a potluck of sorts. The other mom and I are contributing fixings for rice bowls. I often serve rice bowls when we have company at our house, but this will be the first time we take it on the road. I suggested it for the meal plan [...]
I can’t believe how much I’ve enjoyed this salad. Yumm just doesn’t describe it. Layered at the bottom of the bowl is a layer of mixed sprouts (alfalfa-red clover-fenugreek sprouts). Next, a generous scoop of the salad I mentioned yesterday — shredded purple cabbage, mung bean sprouts and lentil sprouts, tossed in our favorite dressing. [...]

This is one of my favorite growing up dishes. The flavor is excellent; it is warming and filling. I still don’t think I make it as well as my Mom does, but I try! The photo above is of the Great Northern beans I quick-soaked this morning (see How to Cook Dry Beans). The [...]
This is the standby lunch I serve for my kiddoes and me when we have no leftovers in the fridge. It is tasty, satisfying, heathy and filling. Actually, it is surprisingly good, if you consider the reputation that lentils and brown rice have as typical and bland health food fare! When prepared as simply and [...]
