Thai(ish) Yellow Curry – Americanized

Thai yellow curry made with easy to find ingredients.

Quick and Easy Breakfast (or lunch or dinner)

The key to maintaining any kind of diet or lifestyle is making it easy (or at least not seeming like its a ton of work). I do love to cook more elaborate, fancy things, but a lot of the time you really need something you can just throw together in 10 minutes. These are aContinue reading “Quick and Easy Breakfast (or lunch or dinner)”

Nut Milk

Starting the anti-inflammatory diet I have been mostly just drinking water, but occasionally almond milk or coconut milk. I don’t really like the texture of most of them, and they generally have added sugar and flavor, so when one of my friends mentioned that she makes her own almond milk I was intrigued. I hadContinue reading “Nut Milk”

Curry Crackers

I forgot to take prep pictures, but will add next time I make them, which is about weekly. These crackers are my favorite way to use the nut pulp left over from making nut milk (recipe to come soon, but essentially 2 cups water to 1 cups nuts, 3-4 dates and 1/4-1/2 tsp of salt;Continue reading “Curry Crackers”

Warm Lentil Salad

Lentils, in the legume family, come in a variety of (small) sizes and colors, including green, brown, red, yellow. With their good protein, fiber and iron content, they are an essential part of any plant-based diet. You can get them with husk and without. With husk they hold their shape with cooking, without husk theyContinue reading “Warm Lentil Salad”

Blueberry, Beet, Fennel Salad

This salad has anti-oxidant rich blueberries and beets, and protein with almonds and/or walnuts, and a touch of sweetness so is great as a meal of its own accord, especially if you prefer something a little sweet for breakfast. It also pairs nicely with the Rosemary Venison or my take on Chicken Marbella. Ingredients: EqualContinue reading “Blueberry, Beet, Fennel Salad”

Rosemary Venison

My anti-inflammatory diet is not vegan, or even vegetarian. I eat chicken and fish and red meat occasionally as well, but I do try to make sure the meat I eat is clean and healthy as well. Just like people are healthier if they eat naturally and get exercise, the same is true for animalsContinue reading “Rosemary Venison”

Ginger Orange Beet Salad

As you have or will notice I eat a lot of salad, and even when I’m not specifically making salad I usually throw whatever I have make on top of some spinach or lettuce or arugula. This is both because it is good to have a combination of fresh and cooked veggies since you processContinue reading “Ginger Orange Beet Salad”

Delicious Basil Pesto

We eat a lot of pesto at our house. It is great for all kinds of things, eat it as a main dish or side with pasta, or anti-inflammatory “pasta” such as zucchini or spaghetti squash, make salad dressing or add it as a flavoring for sandwiches or eggplant, tomato, pesto bites (my replacement forContinue reading “Delicious Basil Pesto”

Black Bean Burgers

Black bean burgers are a delicious, versatile and protein and fiber rich lunch or dinner. I’ll talk about 3 different cooked toppings I made, but they are just as tasty with simple burger toppings such as tomato, lettuce, salsa and guac (mustard can be ok too as long as there isn’t added sugar which canContinue reading “Black Bean Burgers”
