Kung Pao Tofu

Kung Pao Tofu

March 14 by Priscilla 27 Comments

I first made this deliciously spicy, sweet, savory dish last year when I decided to get on board with the Meatless Monday movement and cut out meat once a week. Cutting meat one day a week can reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease while saving precious resources like fresh water and fossil fuel. […]

Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Curry

January 31 by Priscilla 21 Comments

You live with someone for half your life and just when you think you know everything about them: you can complete their sentences and predict their response to nearly any situation – they surprise you. And that’s somewhat refreshing when you get to this stage of the game 🙂 For some reason I thought The […]

Chickpea Curry with Bolani

December 7 by Priscilla 16 Comments

We’ve all heard the saying “you are what you eat” and yesterday my post focused on a recent article about how, more than ever, food defines social class in America more than the clothes you wear or the car you drive. Basically, the food that is available and affordable to the vast majority of Americans […]

There is absolutely nothing better on a hot summer’s day than a chilled noodle or pasta salad. I’m talking about this refreshing, delicious departure from your typical store-bought pasta salads laden with fat and calories from mayonnaise, but a Thai-inspired Soba noodle salad strewn with vibrant carrots, cool cucumbers and a luscious homemade peanut butter-ginger […]

Asparagus Three Ways

March 25 by Priscilla 3 Comments

When you see asparagus in the markets you know spring has arrived!  Here in southern California we may not realize it as much as folks who have lived through months of snow and bitter cold but, like golden daffodils, the way asparagus suddenly pokes its head from still-thawing soil, it too is a harbinger of […]

Sassy Sausage & Peppers

January 20 by Priscilla 1 Comment

Sausage and peppers is a classic comfort food and it’s so easy to make. Sometimes I add chopped tomatoes to have more juice that soaks into the roll, mmmm. This time I added tiny portabella mushrooms because I had them in the fridge and they add a “meatier” taste – you know, cuz I’m trying […]
