Superb Spinach!
Spinach is a SUPERB veggie! Our little furry guinea pigs Charlotte and Bianco could have told you that! Spinach is filled with nutrients and even claims a special place among vegetables in terms of its phytonutrient content. It is also rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and is a very good source of dietary fiber. I don't know if Charlotte and Bianco knew ... Read More »

My teenagers eating well, this way, is a big victory for me!
My cooking with carrot juice experience started with Cuisinicity’s Carrot Cider Baked Chicken dish, recently. Today, I wanted to learn about eating vegan, and this recipe was a natural choice. Right now I’m listening happily to sounds of spoons clanking against the sides of bowls as my 15 year old son, in particular, devours his carrot quinoa lentils!!! !! Teenagers eating ... Read More »
Spinach Pear Smoothie
I have to admit I was never much of a fan of these really healthy-looking green veggie smoothies! I mean, a spinach drink...really? Nutritious, yes, I had no doubt, but at what cost, I thought (not for this French foodie here). Well, I was wrong! This spinach pear smoothie is so refreshing and satisfying, just slightly sweet and surprisingly, not overly "spinachy" (!) I love ... Read More »

Carrot Bread with Honey Yogurt Dip
When you think of the prototypical carrot cake you think moist, sweet layers separated by a rich sweet cream cheese frosting, right? Indeed, it may be quite delicious but really, nutritionally it's almost a disaster! When you consider that its star ingredient is so naturally sweet to begin with, who needs all that extra sugar?! So, I decided to create one of my own and, ... Read More »
Carrot Quinoa Lentils
This is a complete meal in one dish, filled with plant-based protein! The combination of carrots and curry is sweet and tangy and the carrot juice gives it a slight creaminess! Yum! It's superb right off the stove but I also love to make it ahead and have it ready to go in the fridge for a cold lunch over mixed greens. I have a cooking class video here! 4.8 ... Read More »
Carrot Cider Baked Chicken
No one besides the chef can ever figure out the secret ingredient in this dish. It's carrot juice as the title gives away, of course, but you don't need to tell! The subtle sweetness of the carrot juice and cider combines with the rich taste of the dark beer and the fresh grated ginger and makes this sauce outrageously delicious!! Enjoy to your heart’s content, ... Read More »
