Kitchen Sink Salad

As I've said many times before but, nothing delights me more than a salad full of all my favorite veggies. Arugula, beets, artichoke hearts, feta, grilled eggplant & zucchini, and a Dr. Prageger's burger all topped with Goddess dressing. mmmmm, mmmmhhhh, mmmmmm!!

Greek Plate

For me it's always best to keep it simple. That's where my Greek plate comes in. Add some hummus, some feta, kalamata olives, onion, heirloom tomatoes, some toasted pita and you have a meal ready in under 5 minutes. Yum!

Yoga and Pizza

I had a great yoga class this morning with lots of deep stretching. Felt amazing. I got home and wanted some pizza so I threw together this quick, easy, and healthy margarita pizza.

To make this simple take a whole wheat pita, brush it with evoo, and spread a good amount of chopped garlic. Then place in toaster over for 2-3 so crust gets golden and crunchy. I then topped the pita with a thin layer of cottage cheese (I used a fork to avoid the runniness of the cottage cheese), sliced heirloom tomatoes, and feta and place back in the toaster for 3 minutes. Garnished with fresh basil from the garden (and of course a healthy amount of crushed red pepper) it made a delicious afternoon lunch.

Making Veggies New

I have them. You have them. We all have them. The veggies that have been in the fridge past their due date. So how do you make them new again? By tuning them into soup!

I made this soup by taking half and onion and about one carton of mushrooms and covering them with chicken broth. I cooked the veggies till tender and then added in the rest of the spinach left in my fridge. Let the soup first cool to room temperature, then puree in the blender. Trust me on the waiting to cool part - I tried while it was hot and made a big ol' mess and burned my hand. Once soup is ready you can serve chilled (great in these hot summer months) or reheat on the stove. I topped mine with feta. It was delish!

Pita Pocket

I started playing in a kickball league this fall. Our first practice was last night so dinner needed to be quick! I took a 1/4 piece of tofu and cut it into chunks. I then grilled it a frying pan with cooking spray until golden on both sides. I'm my pita I had hummus, feta, red onion and heirloom tomatoes. I ate the extra tofu on the side.

Quick, fast and delicious!
