Not the most common food, but an interesting and tasty one, I thought I’d look into the health benefits of wheat berries a bit and share them with you, along with the recipe for a good wheat berry dish — which my partner, Marika, just made and I am actually eating as I write this.

I’d fallen out of the breakfast habit, so in an effort to get back into eating the most important meal of the day, I decided to whip up a bowl of oatmeal after my run this morning.

This warm, spiced bowl of goodness might just be the dish that gets me back to breakfast!

I’m a sucker for a good soup and now that the weather will be cooling down, I’m so excited to break out my favorite soup recipes again. A great one that can actually do well year round is a hearty chicken noodle. The great American comfort food, the soup that makes it all better when your sick or just an all around great meal, I love playing with the original to jazz it up every now and again. This one is full of vitamins, minerals, plant-based protein and just some serious goodness! Plus, it’s simple, fast and if you make a large batch, it’s easily freezable to enjoy later.

Looking for a quick weeknight meal? Beef and Peppers can be prepared from scratch in less than thirty minutes. Peppers, both chile and bell, have an excellent nutritional profile with vitamins C, A, and B-6. They’re easy to grow in a backyard garden or pot on the patio and peppers are prolific, so you only

One of my favorite ways to get “bread” on the table fast is to make socca, the chickpea pancake that’s a classic in France. It’s fast, easy, and – in it’s simplest form – contains nothing but chickpea flour, water, oil, salt, and pepper. You can find chickpea flour at health food stores and larger

Winter is winding down and I might actually go outside barefoot in the next few days. It’s been unusually cold in the South this year, but that just makes the spinach taste that much better. As with many of the winter greens, spinach is a nutritional powerhouse most famous for its iron content, but also
