UPDATED January 19, 2017: I'll be honest, I decided to re-post this blog from last year verbatim, because I don't have time to write a brand new one as I am about to go back to France to visit my Mom and won't have access to my computer. I just didn't want you to wonder why I "disappeared"! Everything I said last year holds true so if you have the time, I think this ... Read More »

There is no question that vegetables are an important staple of a healthy diet, both for our personal well-being but also for that of our planet.

Apple Hazelnut Kale Salad
The combination of the sweet & sour apple cider vinaigrette, fresh grated apple and chopped hazelnuts (or other nuts) with the finely chopped kale is absolutely superb! I now use this salad as a foundation: by that, I mean that I like to "build on it" and make it more of a centerpiece all-in-one meal (how wonderful is that?!) so I can add some grains and legumes or beans ...

Eggplant Chickpeas & Raisins
This is definitely a feel-good for your soul kind of dish...at least it is for me! It reminds me of a North African dish we used to make for the Jewish holidays when I was a little girl (except it also had chicken). The fresh ginger and blend of sweet spices and raisins simmer slowly with the eggplant and thinly sliced onions resulting in an absolutely luscious sauce! I love ... Read More »
