Wednesday was a whirlwind, with two special events back to back — and extra deliveries on Tues to compensate. In the morning, at the Active Aging Info Fair held by Inver Grove Heights Community Center, I handed out last week’s DDoW, Kamut Salad in Orange Mint Vinaigrette, to all sorts of people, and had my Whole Grains & [...]

I love to browse ethnic grocery stores the way you might browse a thrift store — you will always find interesting stuff! Indian groceries are particularly fun because I’m not as familiar with them as with Asian stores. A while ago I picked up a couple packages of spices unknown to me. Trying new and [...]

My brother Eric in California asks me great questions about cooking. I provide info, as an extension of the cooking coaching I did for them a year ago on a visit (and b/c I’m a nice sister). So, he wrote recently that he was craving sauteed greens and wanted a few more variations than the [...]

That’s the sound of relief and pleasure at the perfect summer days and cooler nights we’re finally experiencing. I can turn on the oven again! Roasting all these lovely market veggies is an easy way to prepare them, especially in quantities to feed you all week-long. Don’t have to peel anything, don’t have to watch [...]

As much as I love to write — and read my own writing — I haven’t been blogging. Why? Mainly because I’ve been keeping very busy lately and all the updates pile up in my head. Besides the Delivered Dish of the Week service, I’ve been catering and teaching cooking to small groups. A few [...]

This tasty superfood is one of the March 8-15 “Dishes of the Week” (aka “Chopped Salad of the Week”). #2 is Quinoa Veggie Salad in Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette. One dish is dense and soft, the other light and crunchy. Both are vegan, contain lots of fiber and complex carbs and no saturated fats (olive oil only). [...]

Crunchy Cabbage Slaw, cool purple veggies at Market

Today, Little Locavore kids and I made Orange Ginger Vinaigrette to top off a colorful, Crunchy Cabbage Slaw made fresh with veggies I found at the market this morning. Many of these veggies in the slaw were members of the Cabbage family such as green cabbage, curly kale, kohlrabi, and an attention-grabbing bright purple cauliflower [...]
