Don’t like eggplant? You can replace it with quartered mushrooms or slices of zucchini or summer squash. For a Vegetarian version, replace the chicken with diced, firm tofu and skip the fish sauce.
I was introduced to this fabulous and fabulously easy chutney by the one and only Julie Sahni a couple of years ago. It has since become a staple in my kitchen as a dip for parties and is also terrific topping roasted salmon. You too can become the hit of your next potluck or dinner party if you make this. Just watch to find out how…
This is one of my ‘go to’ weeknight meals. You can make this in the time it takes to call in take out. It’s ridiculously easy, you only really need two ingredients and a pan and a stove. The secret lies in perfectly cooked, tender shrimp. Paired with rice it is a complete meal. It’s based on one of Melissa Clark’s recipes from the NY Times. Seeing is believing—you’ll need to watch this to understand just how crazy simple and good it is. To dress this recipe up, you only have to go to your spice cabinet and pick your favorite seasonings.
Sprout is a fantastic all organic toddler and baby store in San Francisco. They have a variety of events each month and have a really cool space available for baby showers. The first time that I walked into the store, I loved the vibe and wanted to be a part of it.
Last month I presented a shortened version of my healthy snack seminar at in their store. We all love the idea of ‘healthy snacks’ and I think that healthy snacks should be the same for both children and adults. Cheese, yogurt, fruit and nuts are all examples of basic healthy snacks. But what about when you want something a little bit more decadent? Can you find something that satisfies? Will it still be wholesome? I think that you can. Homemade fruit leather and granola can be made with a minimum of fuss and are both tasty and delicious. I also love to make fruit filled quesadillas with flour tortillas. You can use gluten free or sprouted grain tortillas if wheat is an issue. Banana and chocolate are a favorite as is apple and cheddar.
Check out my video blog for recipes and demos. Hopefully you will see more of me at Sprout in the spring! Everyone deserves to eat tasty food.
