Chickpeas & Kale with Spicy Peanut Sauce
I have often shied away from using legumes that require overnight soaking and hours of cooking–though I do believe this is a healthier choice than canned legumes (beans). I like to provide ways to save time when creating my recipes, but this time I decided to use dry chickpeas as they are on sale this…

Tofu with Peanut Sauce
The first time I tried Thai food, I fell in love. Since then I have created a few recipes to emulate the dishes I have come to love.

Savory Zucchini Pancakes with Curry Mayo
This recipe is a variation of an Indian dish: Zucchini Kofta. Koftas are very popular and are commonly served with a sauce or chutney.

Kale-Cucumber Salad with Citrus-Mint Dressing

Alkaline foods (fruits, vegetables, seeds, herbs, spices, etc.) help to balance acidity. I prepared this salad for my demo at work. All the ingredients are alkaline, so I refer to it…
Lentil Curry with Rhubarb & Fennel
