Is it a taco or tostada? A tostada is made on a flat, crispy corn tortilla topped with refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. However, we made this version on a soft corn tortilla (choose organic if you can). We topped our creation with crisp-tender asparagus and called it a “tacostada.” Just fold in half…
Peanut Butter Cookies
It’s not easy to improve a classic like peanut butter cookies, but we think we’ve done it. How? These cookies have less sugar, allowing the peanut butter to be the star, not the sugar. With less sugar and more peanut butter, these cookies are more nutritious than most. Since the peanut butter flavor is front…
Vegetarian Chili
“One day I had some cauliflower I needed to use, so I decided to experiment and make a vegetable chili. I was pleasantly surprised at this wonderful alternative for my vegetarian family and friends, so I served it as an option at a chili dinner. Even the non-vegetarians in the crowd liked it!” ~ Bobbi…
How to Make Beef Bone Broth
Whether you’re trying to build stronger bones, support digestive health, provide healing nourishment during and after an illness, or simply make some outstanding soup, homemade bone broth is the way to go. Use it in soups and stews or just heat a cup with Tamari and Chinese 5-spice for a tasty, health-restoring tonic. Difficulty: Moderate,…
Slow Cooked Chicken
This is such an easy way to cook up a bunch of chicken to use in all sorts of recipes! You can cook the chicken in a large saucepan as well, but you’ll want to check to see if yours is large enough. We recommend adding a slow cooker when you have a chance. It…
Chicken Carcass Bone Broth
When we simmer a chicken in water (see our recipe for Slow Cooked Chicken) we end up with a pot full of rather bland chicken broth. No problem! Once we’ve removed the meat, we add the carcass back to the broth, throw in some vegetables and make a rich and complex bone broth. You can…
Tuscan Kale and White Bean Soup
“My husband likes to shop with a list. I like to be spontaneous and see what’s alive and happy. One day we found beautiful, crisp Tuscan kale at the farmers market in California, and even though it wasn’t on our list, I had to have it! We developed this recipe to highlight it, and it’s…
Shrimp à la Créole
This is a simpler and more healthful version of one of our Cajun family favorites. Although we usually buy fresh shrimp and let Richard (aka Dad, the Cajun) peel it himself, purchasing peeled and cleaned shrimp will save you some time. (Below, Dad teaches son the Cajun way of peeling shrimp.) Frozen shrimp also works…
Jambalaya
We always make Jambalaya around Mardi Gras, but it makes a great meal anytime of the year! “Jambalaya was the first dish I made for my husband when we were dating… and I didn’t even know he was Cajun! It looks complicated, but it’s really not. The amounts and choices of meats (proteins) can be…
Salsa
“It was the end of the summer, and I had a bumper crop of tomatoes. Believe it or not, I had never made my own basic salsa, nor did I have a recipe to do so. Occasionally I’ll buy some for a party, but we just don’t eat chips and salsa any other time. “I…
