  Kitchari is a staple comfort food in India, which normally includes yellow moong dal, rice, healing spices, and vegetables. In Ayurvedic Medicine, Kitchari is used to purify the blood and cleanse and remove toxins through the digestive tract. I love Kitchari because it is delicious and satisfying. I change up the veggies with whatever I have in my fridge. I frequently add sliced curly kale, spinach, or other greens. Kitchari is an easy, versatile, and healthy dish to make  and  a great way to give your body’s digestive tract a well-needed break. This is easy to make and really delicious! Ingredients 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 medium-large yellow onion, diced 4 large carrots, diced 4 large celery stalks, diced 2 medium Yukon potatoes, quartered and sliced into bite-size slices 10 cloves garlic, minced 3” piece of peeled fresh ginger, minced 1 tsp hot Madras Curry Powder (I prefer McCormick’s organic) 1 tsp Garam Masala (I prefer Frontier’s organic) ...

  A French galette refers to a pie that doesn’t require a pie tin. The lack of a pie tin makes galettes far more forgiving and easy to bake. It basically is an easy free-form pie.  It gives you all the satisfaction of a fresh-baked pie but is so much easier to put together. You simply roll out the dough, put the fruit in the middle, roughly fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, and bake it. What could be easier? Ingredients 3 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or flour of choice) 1 Tbsp turbinado sugar 1/2 tsp salt 2 sticks cold butter 1/3 cup icy cold water A little non-dairy milk, like Almond or Hazelnut milk Coarse turbinado sugar to sprinkle on the crust 4 cups fresh/frozen triple berry blend (blackberries, strawberries, blueberries) 1/4 – 1/2 cup raw or coconut sugar  1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1 Tbsp lemon juice + ½ lemon zest 1-2 Tbsp organic cornstarch, tapioca starch, or flour Intructions To make the dough, place all the dry ingredients in a food processor; ...

  For good health, youthful radiance, and to improve elimination, try this pureed fruit salad for breakfast. Raw almonds that are soaked in water and peeled are delicious, sweet, and easy to digest. I like to keep a jar of almonds soaking in the fridge, so I always have some handy for this quick breakfast or a fruit smoothie. I sometimes use raw sesame butter instead of sesame seeds. Ingredients 15 raw almonds, soaked and peeled 2 small apples 2 small ripe bananas 1 large green bell pepper 3 tablespoons raw sesame seeds Intructions Soak almonds in cold water overnight or for several hours. Remove skins (they will slip off easily). Core apples and cut into quarters (do not pare). Wash and remove stems from peppers but keep the seeds. Place almonds, apples, bananas, peppers and sesame seeds in a blender jar. Scrape the inner white from the peel of the bananas and add. Blend or process all ingredients until pureed (you will need to pause every few seconds to press ingredients down).

  This recipe uses silken tofu to give it a little density and whipped aquafaba* to give the mousse a light and airy texture. I played all day experimenting with Vegan Chocolate Mousse. My finest result came when I combined silken tofu and melted chocolate with whipped aquafaba. I got the perfect texture and consistency of rich, decadent chocolate mousse that is traditionally made with raw eggs and whipped egg whites. Voila! Ingredients 2-4 Tbsp maple syrup, agave, or coconut sugar, to taste (or sweetener of choice) 1 pkg organic Mori-Nu silken tofu (12 oz) 9 oz dark chocolate, melted 2-3 Tbsp oat or almond milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 3/4 cup aquafaba (chickpea liquid) 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (this really helps the aquafaba to whip up) 1 Tbsp agave (or sweetener of choice) ½ tsp vanilla extract Intructions Slowly melt the chocolate in a double boiler (the water should be simmering); add the almond milk and mix until creamy. Remove the bowl from the heat and allow to cool down to roo...

  This recipe is the foundation for making a gravy-based sabzee with the vegetable of your choice. For best flavor, grind your own spices with an electric coffee grinder or mortar and pestle. You will find different vegetables are better complemented with different spice combinations. For example, cauliflower and potatoes beg for ginger and coriander. Potatoes and black mustard seed are also a fine couple. Fresh lemon juice and/or tamarind concentrate give a perfect tangy flavor to eggplant. Turmeric and whole spices need to cook in oil so that their healing essences may be released and readily absorbed. A few good vegetable combinations to try are: CauIiflower with Peppers, Potatoes and Peas, Mushrooms and Peas, or Eggplant and Potatoes. Contrasts in color, taste, and texture make the sabzee more pleasing to the senses. It’s also a good idea to limit the dish to one or two main vegetables so their flavor may be fully appreciated Ingredients 5-6 cups chopped vegetables (cut into un...
