I always end up with a bunch of leftover parsley or cilantro and I’m never quite sure how to use it up. I saw this quesadilla recipe in my Phytopia Cookbook and thought the parsley spread was a clever way to prevent waste. Turns out that parsley is chock full of Vitamins A, C and Iron. |

Plain yogurt makes a quick and healthy pasta sauce a la alfredo…stop laughing. OK, it’s not exactly alfredo, but it IS tasty. Is there anything yogurt can’t do? |

The standout here is the homemade pizza crust. If you have never done this before, don’t be scared. It’s really easy. The hardest part is waiting for the dough to rise for ~2 hours. |

This is a lovely salad that I modified from a recipe in Quick Vegetarian Pleasures. The rice will take 45-60 minute to cook depending on how you go about it. I like to cook rice in a steamer so it takes me closer to an hour. Most of that time is hands off because the rest of the recipe comes together quickly. |

As you can probably see by the frequency of my posts, I’ve been quite busy the past two weeks. In between all of the extra hours at work and travel I have had little time to grocery shop, nevermind cooking. This is how I make something healthy out of almost nothing. |

I recently went on an Amazon.com book buying binge in order to educate myself on cancer prevention. I know what you’re thinking. Dr. Miggy, don’t you already know this stuff? Nope. It’s like one of my prof’s kids said, “You’re a doctor but you don’t help people.” |

I’m all about no-cook recipes right now. It’s been brutally hot and humid here and the last thing I want is to apply more heat by cranking up the stove. I found this recipe on Real Simple and adapted it below. |

No, there aren’t two kinds of meat in this salad! Hippie meat tends to be a bit gamey for my taste, yuk yuk yuk. I call this Hippie Salad because it contains two grains that hippies love: bulgur and quinoa. |

A few months ago I was on a muffin kick. I tweaked this recipe until I got it the way I like it, and I swear to you I’m so eager to eat these in the morning that I almost want to wake up early so I can get at them sooner. |

When I’m in Chicago, my boyfriend likes to cook breakfast for the two of us. The thing he always includes on the menu are his killer hash browns. I was missing him today so I decided to recreate his specialty. |
