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’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. |

I was visiting a friend this weekend and noticed that she lost considerable weight since I saw her about a month ago. She looked 10-15 pounds lighter, so I asked her how she did it. Her response surprised me, but it shouldn’t have. “I started eating breakfast.” |

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. |

Independence Day is upon us, and I’m feeling quite festive. You probably think there is no way hot dogs can be healthy, and 9 times out of 10 you would be correct. But if you get the low-fat, all-natural, grass-fed, raised-by-nuns-on-a-sunny-pasture-near-a-rolling-creek kind you can still enjoyed those encased meat treats sans guilt. |

So what if you are not a huge fan of dairy, or if you’re vegan or you have an allergy? You can still eat yogurt, as there are plenty of non-dairy options. I rounded up the most popular brands to give you the low down on plant-based yogurts. |

Homemade tomato sauce is one of life’s simple pleasures. Unfortunately, most folks rarely get to indulge because tomato sauce has a reputation for being labor intensive. I have one thing to say about that: PSSSHHH! |
