It is perfect on a hot summer day, both because it is so refreshingly delicious but also because it requires no cooking at all!

Back to School!
Updated August 30th, 2017 'Tis the season--it's back to school time! I am sure you parents and caregivers out there have been bombarded with back-to-school blogs, articles and ads! So it is with reluctance that I add mine to the mix. I am indeed reluctant, because I feel that, inherent in these well-meaning back-to-school pieces of advice everywhere these days, is the ...

I use organic silken soft tofu as my base, and even add pureed black lentils and plain unsweetened soy milk to the mixture so ... Read More »
Potato Tortilla
This is one of those classic Spanish "tapas" that I think makes a great back-to-school lunch box addition! It's wonderful served cold or at room temperature and it stands on its own--no need for bread--just serve it as a wedge so your little one can bite right into it--he or she will LOVE it!
