In the past few years I have created several millet recipes, which I have prepared for our customers more than once, so I figured it was time for a new one. This recipe is relatively mild, so if you like spice, add more! Ingredients 1 cup uncooked millet, rinsed and drained 2 cups water 1/2 vegetable…

Curry Millet Pilaf with Cashews
This recipe is a variation of my Curry Quinoa Salad. When the price of quinoa increased, I decided to try out some of my recipes with millet instead. Millet is a healthy whole grain that is naturally gluten-free and easy to digest. It is not often eaten in our country, but is readily available in natural food stores. Millet is very…
Frittata
This is my vegan version of frittata. I’ve always loved quiche, so decided to experiment with a frittata recipe, which is like a crustless quiche. I was pleased with the results. For a thicker frittata, double the recipe. Ingredients 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cups chopped or very thinly sliced onions 1 cup finely…
Lentil Stew
Lentil Stew is a great one-pot meal. Legumes, grains and veggies are all cooked together in one pot, yielding in a very satisfying stew. You can add your favorite vegetables or use the ideas suggested below; season according to taste. Some curry powders are stronger than others and some bouillon cubes are saltier than others….
Kale Chips
I love kale! This highly nutritious leafy green can be prepared in so many ways and added to many different dishes. After the first time I tried kale chips, I decided to make my own. I was surprised to see how easy it is. You can cook the kale on a high temperature for a…
Mexicali Quinoa

Thai Coconut Curry Vegetables with Tofu
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. This is my version of Thai red curry. People really enjoy this dish! Ingredients 1 (14–16-ounce) block of tofu, cubed and baked* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil…
Kale-Cucumber Salad with Citrus-Mint Dressing
The topic of alkaline foods is common these days. High-acid foods (coffee, alcohol, meat, cheese, etc.) may contribute to acid reflux, heartburn and other conditions. 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…
Indian Kichari (Mung Bean & Brown Rice Stew)
Kichari is a very popular Indian dish. It is a great one-pot meal made with legumes, whole grains and assorted veggies. Mung beans are well-known in India and are touted for their health benefits (see below). I always get great responses when I prepare this dish. It is so healthy and hearty–and great for cold-weather…
Kale Apple Salad with Pumpkin Seeds
This is a variation of my Kale Apple Salad recipe. In this version I use pumpkin seeds instead of walnuts. Choose whichever you like best! Ingredients 1 small bunch of kale (about 2–2 ½ cups finely chopped) 2–3 tablespoons lemon balsamic vinegar, available in ME’s bulk section (for local people) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1…
Curried Red Lentil Soup
Red lentil soup is a staple in my home. We love it! I have always prepared it “Indian-style” with curry and other common Indian spices. It is a wonderful way to enjoy lentils. Lentils are high in fiber, and worth adding to your healthy diet. Every time I make this at work, or variations of this…
Springtime Vegetable Soup
I created this recipe when I first started working at Mother Earth’s a few years ago. It was springtime and I was somehow inspired to make a soup. One of my co-workers tasted it and gave me good feedback. She said that the fresh lemon juice and coconut oil gave the soup an exceptional flavor, so I…
