Winner! Winner! Tofu Dinner. No, I haven’t lost it. Yet. But I agree we’ve gone a little soy crazy over here. The Mom in me wants to make sure I give you enough soy meal options to try if you need to control those hot flashes. If you missed my post on soy and hot flashes […]
Super Easy Baked Orange Juice Tofu
I’m certainly learning a lot about tofu so far this month. I had no idea that it had to be pressed before you cook with it—I thought you just cut open the package, fish a chunk out of the milky water, slap it onto the cutting board and create your tofu masterpiece. The recipe I […]
Easy, Tasty Tofu Curry Veggie Bowl
So, this month is all about hormones and Heidi is going to tell us all about how that controversial ingredient “soy” fits into our menopausal lifestyle.

Let’s just call them a “super food” bargain. Please don’t keep this a secret, especially if you are trying to […]

The Fresh 20 Inspired Hummus Tortilla Melt
This is the first of my “Fresh 20” (www.thefresh20.com) inspired recipes and the second time in my life I’ve eaten hummus, except this time I actually liked it. I think the other hummus “incident” occurred when I was with a Heidi few years ago and she suggested I choke it down with some carrots. Just […]
Perfect Split Pea Soup {Vegetarian}
Man, I love this split pea soup. It so rarely gets cold here in So Cal to serve up hot soup, but today is a heater-on-window-closed- soup-type-of-day. I’m in! Are you? I love to use split peas because they don’t require “soaking” before cooking like most beans. And if you use a rich vegetable broth […]
