Healthy Plant-Rich Enchiladas

I tend to avoid Tex-Mex food because it is so heavy and leaves me feeling like I’ve eaten a tank. Then I made Sweet Potato Enchiladas from Oh She Glows cookbook and I discovered crazy delicious, digestible enchiladas. Casting about for something to take to a friend’s house for the Superbowl today, enchiladas seemed to […]

White Bean and Kale Stew

I may be a little obsessed with nutrient-dense foods and repeating over and over again how greens, beans and onions are an immune-boosting power cocktail, but putting aside repetition, this soup is flavorful and sticks to the ribs. Variations: Add other vegetables (bell pepper, a turnip, maybe a cup of chopped broccoli or cauliflower) depending […]

Discovering how powerful it is to our immune system motivated me to find ways to eat it. And as always in my kitchen – nutritious must also be delicious! So thank […]

Marinara Sauce

Homemade marinara sauce is simple and simply delicious. Store-bought sauces inevitably have sugar or other unnecessary additives. This is a great recipe to double and, when cool, keep extra jars in the refrigerator (or freezer) for busy nights. Cook some pasta, add shrimp or quickly sauce some veggies, toss with marinara sauce and dinner is […]

Roasted Cod with Red Bell Pepper Tomato Sauce

Growing up in Bolivia, seafood and salt-water fish were unavailable. Except for salted cod. But that too was rare and expensive and only appeared at Easter. So for years, cod was something I thought of only at Easter. But this recipe can be made any time. And not only with cod, but can also be […]
