This is my vegetarian version of a dish that is traditionally meat cooked on a stick. Shish kebab actually means “roast meat.” The shish kebab was developed by nomadic peoples who once inhabited the area around present-day Turkey. Today, variations of the dish exist in almost every culture. In Asia they are called satay and […]

It’s also gluten-free and vegan, so you can provide this dish for those who have those specialized diets. The sweet potato is sweet, but not the high-calorie indulgence […]

This is an easy, refreshing, and delicious soup that is great for summer! It can accompany a main dish, a sandwich, or a salad. I highly recommend purchasing certified organic corn, because of the danger of the non-organic Bt toxin in GMO corn. Insect-resistant crops include corn, potatoes, soy, and cotton. Due to genetic modifications, […]
People may or may not be celebrating Halloween this year, due to current events. But if it is celebrated, even on a smaller scale, it is always a good time to think about introducing healthier foods to your and your child’s diet. We want to protect our children from harm in all aspects of their […]

This is an easy, high protein, savory dish. I made this as a Celebrity Chef at the State Fair Of Texas one year. Everyone loved it! You can serve this chili with a sprouted brown rice or even put it into organic taco shells with some lettuce for healthy plant-based tacos. Why would you want […]
