From the kitchen of Mark Bittman from Men's Health
I made this with strawberries, silken tofu and a little stevia. It was awesome! I bet Greek yogurt would be really good too.

Pasta, Rice & Grains > Butternut Squash Gnocchi
From the kitchen of Sunset Magazine 10/08 Issue
These little dumplings are ever so slightly sweet.

Good source of fiber, protein and healthy fats. I know-just what you want to hear when you’re thinking ‘cupcakes’. But I swear, they really taste good!

The soup which prompted Bop-Bop to have thirds.
Soups & Stews > Chicken Stew With Fennel & Saffron

A savory stew that can be served over brown rice, pasta, or just by itself. Its really more of a cacciatore than a stew.
Beverages > Balboa’s World famous Margaritas
From the kitchen of Balboa's Restaurant, Puerto Penasco, Mexico
The best-tasting Margaritas, hands down. After a pitcher of these, you’ll be able to sing like Jimmy Buffet—or at least you think you can!
Poultry > Panaeng Chicken (or beef) in red curry peanut sauce
From the kitchen of Quick and Easy Thai (liberal interpretation)
The original recipie is for beef; we have also sustituted chicken with equally delicious results.
Cakes > Ultimate Carrot Cake For Chloe
From the kitchen of Vegetarian Times and Amber, Frosting from The Vegan Chef and Amber
I have an inability to follow a recipe as directed; I always adjust to my needs. In this case, a cake for Chloe’s birthday. Requirements: Wheat free, dairy free, no refined sugar and deeee-licious. Mission accomplished.
Poultry > Jujeh Kabab
From the kitchen of New Food of Life by Najmieh Batmanglij
Very succlent, very easy marianade for chicken. We skewered it and grilled it, though you could easy bake or pan fry in its juices.
Breads > Corn Bread
From the kitchen of Amber
Salty, sweet and oh so good.
Great with chili on a cold winters day.
Vegetables > Kale, Carmelized Onions and Sour Cherries
From the kitchen of Mollie Katzen
Kale is my favorite veggie. This recipe is great-its tangy, savory and a little sweet.
I used dried cherries, that I soaked in hot water for about 10 minutes. I also used less sugar, about one teaspoon. Oh and I used extra virgin olive oil which is a MUCH healthier choice than canola.
Vegetables > Kale Crunch
From the kitchen of Mollie Katzen (molliekatzen.com)
A variation I havent tried yet but you can bet I will!
Vegetables > Kale Crisp
From the kitchen of some where
A crispy snack that is oh so good for you! Kale is virtually loaded with calcium, potassium, indoles (cancer-fighting substances), beta-carotenes, and other antioxidants (including ones that prevent blindness, macular degeneration and improve eyesight!)
Cookies > Chocolate Orange Cookies
From the kitchen of Pamela Anderson from "Cookies: Food Writers Favorites"
No, not that Pam Anderson. Anyway, these are delicious. I used half butter and half coconut oil which gave them great coconut undertones. They look kinda plain so you can drizzle a little melted white chocolate on top if you are going for aesthetic appeal.
Pies > Green tomato Mincemeat filling
From the kitchen of ?
Sweet, spicy, juicy, a touch tart. Use 4 cups in a whole wheat pie crust for a delicious treat. This will debut at Thanksgiving 2005. Cant wait!
Pasta, Rice & Grains > Green tomato and sausage pasta
From the kitchen of ?
A great way to use up all those green tomatoes!
Soups & Stews > Pumpkin Baked Black Bean Chili with Chocolate
From the kitchen of Whole Foods a la Amber
Ok, I have a chocolate addiction, I have to add it to everything. You can leave it out of this spicy chili or try it for something different. It turns out similiar to a mexican mole’ (not the animal).
Cookies > Chocolate Walnut Tarts
From the kitchen of Whole foods with an Amber twist
Relatively healthy, as far as cookies go.
Meat > Kabab Koobideh
From the kitchen of Amber
A delicious ground beef kabab. Traditionally the meat is put on flat metal skewers and cooked over a open grill. I omit the skewers all together and use the oven. Much easier.
Salads & Dressings > “Potato” Salad (with cauliflower)
From the kitchen of Amber
A healthy alternative to traditional potato salad. High in Vitamin C, antioxidants and cancer fighters! Plus it tastes great! My grandfather didnt know the difference!
Ingredients are approxiamate.

A nice layer of sugar and cream to top a healthy cake. Yum!!

This tasty dish can be filled with meat, mushrooms, etc., or can be cut into strips, rolled in granulated sugar and served with fresh berries, or my favorite, served slathered in butter salt and pepper.

These moist cookies with a hint of spicy ginger taste great! You would never guess that could almost be considered good for you.
