Farro Grapefruit Salad
Farro is one of those grains that is so "forgiving" because you can never overcook it and it always comes out perfectly chewy, but never mushy! its slight nutty taste makes it just right for this salad with a fresh grapefruit vinaigrette. I like to make it with pear or jicama, if you can find it. It's so refreshingly delicious and it's just beautiful! Farro Veggie Salad ... Read More »

Arctic Char with Grilled Pear
I love Arctic Char! It is slightly milder in taste than wild salmon and is reminiscent of trout. It is just delightful! Nutritionally, it is superb: it's a great source of protein and is rich in omega-3 healthy fatty acids. It is also a sustainable fish and is therefore a responsible choice for our planet! This is such a simple recipe that involves broiling the fish with a ... Read More »

Summer Salads!
Updated August 5th, 2017 Fresh salads are perfect on a hot sunny day. They are light and refreshing and you can make them so that they are a no-fuss complete meal in one bowl. All you need is a combination of some type of wholegrain, legume or bean, nuts or seeds and lots of veggies over mixed greens and you can dress up any table! For me, it brings me back to my ...

Power Strawberry Banana Milk Shake
This is another one of my power nutrition breakfast "milk" shake! The “secret” ingredients which you would never know are in there–you just don’t taste them–are rolled oats and lentils. I like to use regular or red lentils for this milk shake because they "camouflage" completely! You can use canned lentils (click here for a brand I like, but rinse well so as to get rid of any ...

Barley Salad with Pear Walnut & Feta
This is a classic Mediterannean light lunch that I love to serve over mixed greens. The combination of pear and walnuts with the naturally sweet nutty flavor of barley is superb! The little sprinkle of feta gives it a nice touch, but if you would like to keep it vegan, you can leave it out and it's still delightful! Barley Salad with Pear, Walnut & ... Read More »
