Thai food is one of my favorite Asian cuisines and much healthier when made at home. |
Thai Peanut Bowl
The advantage of cooking Thai food at home is that you can control the amount of oil and sodium. Americans make the mistake of assuming that eating out at Asian restaurants is healthy. Quite the contrary! You should consider these dinners a splurge unless, of course, you order steamed vegetables and a dipping sauce on the side. THAT is the only way to insure you are eating a reasonable amount of calories with low fat content.
Remember, you aren’t in China, Japan, Vietnam or Thailand– you’re in America where Asian restaurants have “Americanized” the menu. That means huge portions, too much oil, and mega sodium! Read more
“Ladles”- Sweet Potato and Cabbage Soup
|
Hit the jackpot on a winter's night with one of my absolute favorite soups EVER! |
Welcome to “Ladles”, an ongoing series of healthy soups, stewps and gumbos!
A year ago my son gave me the Moosewood Restaurant cookbook, Simple Suppers, for Christmas. This recipe originated from this cookbook with a few tweaks and additions.
I urge you to try it even if you aren’t a huge fan of sweet potatoes or cabbage. This Indonesian flavored soup is savory (garlic and ginger root!), slightly spicy (cayenne!), bizarre (peanut butter!) and creamy (there’s NO cream!). Serve as a fancy shmancy fine dining course OR at halftime of the Super Bowl to sober up the crowd. Your guests will think they’re dreamin’!
Don’t be ashamed to lick your spoon- I did!

“Ladles”- Lentil and Sausage Gumbo
|
No better time than winter for one pot meals served with a ladle. |
Welcome to “Ladles”, an ongoing series of healthy soups, stewps and gumbos!
Hearty soups feed the soul. Cheating is encouraged! Nobody cares if you chopped all fresh, organic vegetables or threw in a generic brand of frozen peas and carrots.
Comfort food doesn’t have to be mac and cheese or mashed potatoes. Protein doesn’t have to be a slab of meat. One pot to wash and leftovers that taste even better the next day!
Lentil and Sausage Gumbo (animal friendly, of course)
