I love samosas. But, I don’t always want the guilt of the deep fried wrapper. That’s when I turn the filling into a warm salad. The samosa filling is perfect for this. It’s got a ton of flavor and it’s filling enough to satisfy as a meal. Warm […]

Juicers are fine. But, you lose all of that healthy fiber. If you enjoy some pulp in your juice, a powerful blender will do the job even better. But, you do need a blender with sharp blades and a strong motor. Carrot Apple Juice makes 2 glasses
This is an all-purpose vegetable that works well with grilled meat, roasted chicken, sausage or pork. Or, even better, toss with al dente whole wheat pasta, butter & crumbled goat cheese. Roasted Red Cabbage 1/2 head red cabbage, sliced 1 large Vidalia onion, sliced olive oil, […] |
