Here’s a really easy and simple way to make vegetables satisfying and delicious.  The secret is not oil or butter, as it is in a lot of recipes, but flavored vinegar, herbs and spices.  It only takes a few minutes with little prep time, and you may keep these on hand for a few days…

This week, salads are hot!  Here are some variations of the recipe for salad I wrote last week, from folks who commented.  To see my original recipe for salad, click here. Please add your ideas and recipes for more variations, by posting!  THANK YOU to you and all who are getting more into salads, as…

I want to thank you so much for your kind words of condolences about my Father-In-Law’s passing.  I feel your love and warmth very much, and my wife does, too. Here’s the prayer I wrote for him last week, in case you missed it: click here. 

A Q&A Day! At our kid’s school the typical menu is fried chicken, French fries (or some other potato) and sometimes salad. Peanut butter and jelly is available every day. Dessert is served every day. The kids are not allowed to bring their own food. Our entire family is vegetarian. We talked to the school…

Do you remember that old expression, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away?” It’s true, you know! Eating fruit every day gives you vitamins, minerals and fiber – all good for your body – muscles, organs, and digestion. It also gives you sugars (fructose), less than in desserts or candy, but still very sweet…

I’ve discovered this great little take out place, not so far from where we live.  They have only one item on the menu – baked falafel sandwiches in whole wheat pita bread.  You can then help yourself to vegetable “toppings” from their little salad bar.  Only $5.  Amazing. So I’ve been “treating” myself to that…

This week brought lots of deep and insightful comments, particularly from last week’s article, “What I learned from Easter and Passover.”  Please take a look and add your comment to it. So many people opened up and shared their pain, heartache and lessons learned.  I am very moved from reading about you, and send my…

Listen to the birds chirping. See them flying. In the day, they’re out in the air and sunshine. At night, they perch on a limb. They gather food when they’re hungry. They eat what they like; as much as feels right. They spend most of the day flying around. They find mates. They raise their…

I’ll admit it, I am just not that big a fan of salads!  I know they are so healthy for me, and my whole body loves them, I just don’t really find them tasty.  Often, they leave me a little hungry in almost no time.  I’m just not a salad kind of guy.  My digestive…
