I have never before been satisfied with so-called-healthy versions of apple tarts! In the several versions that I have tried, the crust doesn’t hold together well and the apples are typically dry. I say “never”--that is, until I created this one! This sweet crust is a nutritionally upgraded version of a classic “pâte sablée” which is typically made with white flour and lots ... Read More »

Whole Wheat Boule
The key to any delicious moist and airy bread is the starter “sponge” which activates the yeast before it is mixed in with the rest of the ingredients. After that, it’s just a cinch to make! Really, Really ! Let that sink in: you too can make homemade whole wheat bread and get it just right every single time—chewy, dense and just perfect, and oh the aroma in the kitchen! I ...

Black Bean Tomato Corn Salad
Such a tasty salad that is easy, quick, and very filling! Note that there is no need to add salt to this salad because the canned beans and corn, although well rinsed, will still have residual sodium in them, and the sprinkle of feta cheese will salt it just enough! If you have the extra time, I recommend using my Simply Grilled Corn recipe! It gives the kernels that ... Read More »
Chicken in Creamy Dijon Sauce
This is a lusciously rich and creamy dish that (I think you know by now!) has no cream in it. The vermouth wine and mustard are just a classic blend--I didn't invent anything here! It's very easy to throw together, you just have to have everything on hand on the counter. I like to serve this chicken with cooked organic Farro and Grilled veggies on the side. If you are so ...

Tuscan Shrimp with Beans over Polenta
A simple down-to-earth dish with a rich Tuscan flavor. The white wine, fresh tomatoes, baby spinach (you can also use kale, escarole or arugula) and cannellini beans are just delightful with shrimp served over polenta: Que c'est bon! It's so quick to make, you'll want to wait until just 20 minutes before dinner to throw it together, so that the shrimp is just perfectly ... Read More »
Berry Nutty Fig Smoothie

It is a delightful fruit-meet-nuts concoction! The result is an outburst of dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins, and anti-oxidants! Not too sweet, creamy and just delicious! Berry Nutty Fig ...

Stealth Mom!
When it comes to kids, I know a thing or 2...or 5! As you probably know by now, David and I have 5 wonderful ones of our own: Rebecca, Corinda, Valerie, Natalia and Gabe, now ranging in age between 19 and 29. In all those years, I have worked full time as a neuroscientist, then part-time and eventually after Natalia was born, I became a full time stay-at-home mom; so I ... Read More »
Sneaky Macaroni & Cheese
A classic go-to-dish for kids, or, in other words: the perfect occasion to sneak good nutrition into your child's tummy! Here you have it: Simply Caulifower mashed into a creamy cheesy Béchamel sauce with smart balance instead of butter, skim milk instead of whole milk and soft wheat flour, instead of plain white flour. The top crust is made out of wholegrain cereal (Organic ... Read More »

Calories in, Calories out, but don’t obsess!
I had a lovely exchange recently with one of my followers, a UC Berkeley alum (Go bears!), who asked me why I didn't include the calorie count, or any form of nutritional analysis for that matter, on Cuisinicity. It was an excellent question and one I would like to spell out here. As a trained scientist, and wife of a nutrition expert, I like to know the nutritional ... Read More »
