If you haven't yet discovered tempeh, you're in for a great find.  While tofu offers incredible protein, tempeh is the entire bean with protein, fiber, antioxidants and more. For a killer sandwich, grill some tempeh for a few minutes in liquid aminos and sesame oil, toast a sprouted grain bun, add a little avocado tahini spread and some veggies. Truly Satisfying!

The key to this delicious and fun Summer Quinoa Salad is to blend a variety of colors and textures. You can substitute whatever you have on hand--get creative! Toss with our Maple Pecan Dressing, or another of your favorites.

John and I returned home from a gathering where nachos were served and determined that there must be a way to make these healthy--loaded with protein and veggies minus the unhealthy fats, carbs, and extra salt.  We created something we love using organic sprouted corn tortillas at the base loaded with organic fat-free refried pintos, avocado, tomato, red onion, orange pepper, black olives and nacho jalepenos with salsa and fat-free greek yogurt for dipping. Serve with romaine and our creamy cilantro dressing…

Toss greens, garbanzos, cooked barley, tomatoes, red onions, kalamata olives, and a little feta (if desired) with Jane's Zesty Lemon Herb Vinagrette, and you've got a tasty salad that could serve as a meal. This one served as many meals throughout the week--it was just so good!  Enjoy!

We were nearly out of vegetables (shame on me)-- I scrounged and found three zucchini, one red onion, and combined them with some pre-cooked sprouted beans that we had on hand.  I threw them all in a pan with my asian sauce (liquid aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil and garlic) and couldn't believe how yummy and satisfying this dish was.  I hope you enjoy it too.And, there isn't a single ingredient in this dish that doesn't promote your health.Sprouted beans may…

Beets contain betaine and trytophan which can help alleviate depression and relax the mind.  Beets may also lower blood pressure, among other things.I've always loved beets, but just discovered these awesome chiogga beets which are pink and white stripped.  I used to steam or roast my beets until I realized how easy it is to simply grate them raw.…

I threw this hearty salad together last night and we enjoyed it with baked halibut. It is also substantial enough to be served as a meal on its own. It is highly versatile--you can add practically any veggies and fruits you have on hand, as I did. It tastes even better as left overs the next day, which gives the dressing time to mellow the kale. I went to bed last night looking forward to this salad and enjoyed it…
