Because five's been done way too many times. 1. Serve it with some coconut-mango ice cream (recipe follows). Buttercup squash dippers with an Indian-spice stew 2. Cut it into fun shapes, sprinkle it with cardamom, roast it and serve it with some Indian dip. Like this! Want the recipe for the dip? ...

Mwahahhahahaha! Well, it’s Halloween again. Yet another year has passed. In some sense, I feel like it’s only been a day; yet, in others, it seems like a lifetime since I last donned a costume and went begging for candy — I can’t even remember what I did on Halloween ...

Wow, I sure have been flaking on my resolution to post every day this week in honor of Earth Day (which is next Monday). It's just been so busy! (Ok, not really, but that's my story. Anyway, I'm posting now--and a science experiment at that! Now that the weather's getting warmer, I've ...

Before I get to the recipe, I want a take a second to mention my favorite holiday is coming up next week: Earth Day is next Monday, April 22nd, and I'll be celebrating with a week of tips, tricks and suggestions to make your home (and your food, of course) ...

I feel like this has been a long while coming. Coloring Easter eggs was one of the few holiday activities I was ever able to participate in as a kid and painting wooden eggs just didn't feel real enough. (Sort of like the laughing plastic pumpkin I grew up with). So ...

My favorite part about spring is the brightness of the colors: the intense greens and the super-blue blues. It’s as if everything looks more vibrant in the strong light. And I can’t think of a better way to do celebrate spring than with this bright green mint chutney. The mint's digestive ...

This used to be one of my favorite breakfasts before I went vegan. It's quick, it's simple and it involves almost no thinking whatsoever. Plus it gives me an excuse to eat more fruit! (Not that I ever need such an excuse). Since spring seems to have (sort of) sprung (or ...

I used to love fruit roll-ups as a kid. I'd break off bits and chew on them for hours; I'd pull apart the fun, little shapes and bite off heads before feet; sometimes, if I was really hungry, I wouldn't even bother unrolling--just unwrap, ball up and stuff in my ...

Here it is. Meatless Monday, once again barely making the time cut. This is one of my favorites: a mish mash of fruits, indian spices, lemon juice and whatever else you feel like throwing in (within reason, of course). It's simple, though, so don't expect detailed instructions (EatingWell would be appalled). ...

I'm sitting in the chemistry lab right now. Not doing any chemistry, but that's probably for the best. I can't really think, mainly because the Sri Lank-an kid asked me to play Indian music and so now my computer is blasting "Hindi filmi" songs. How am I supposed to think with ...
