Minestrone Soup

Minestrone Soup

This is the soup I have made most often, that my kids ask for the most and that I can make blindfolded with one hand behind my back. It's a kind of take on a milestone sans the pasta. Well, that might be overstating it, but suffice it to say, you do not have to be too...

Squash or Pumpkin Soup

Squash or Pumpkin Soup

The key to a good squash soup is to bake the squash and sweet potatoes and white potatoes and to not rush them along. With pumpkin or squash, I will cut in half, get out the seeds and bake face down on a cookie sheet. I was once so inspired by the sound of sizzling of...

Red Lentil & Black Bean Soup

Red Lentil & Black Bean Soup

I am an artist at heart so a lot of the things I love to do, I love to have a visual component that is compelling. With this soup, the black beans stand out like punctuation in the yellowish backdrop. I think it’s the sesame oil that makes this recipe pop and not...

Corn Chowder

Corn Chowder

I love to serve corn chowder with what my mother called a Famous Sandwich: toasted bread with a dab of mayo, lettuce, tomato & cucumber; you have to cut on the diagonal and if you happen to keep toothpicks with frilly tops on hand, this would be the perfect...

Tomato Soup

Tomato Soup

This is less of a recipe and more of the realistic food prep in a busy household! For the month of May, between travel and family and work commitments, I wanted to prepare a nice dinner/soup but found myself short on time. SO! I offer here instead a salad with a...

Turkey Soup

Turkey Soup

I make this one just like I make my Chicken soup, but instead of using a whole chicken or chicken legs, I use turkey legs. They are bigger in general and you do not need as many. You can also make this soup using scraps of turkey from a carved bird after Thanksgiving....

Roasted Squash Seeds

Roasted Squash Seeds

This year before the last harvest was in, I was taken by surprise by a group of delicata squash lounging about on the edge of my small backyard garden. The trail of green tendrils last spring meandered away from seedlings I planted in early summer, followed by the...

Amy’s Quinoa Salad

Amy’s Quinoa Salad

From the Kitchen of Amy Rothenberg ND This newer grain to reach America is a real hit! It cooks fast, is loaded with protein & is easy to work with. It has a slightly nutty flavor but easily takes on the taste of ingredients around it. This salad takes about 20...

Watermelon Tomato Salad

Watermelon Tomato Salad

At first read, this does not sound like a good idea. But all I can say is that it’s delicious, refreshing and healthy! It's especially good as leftovers as the juices have further co-mingled and the combination of sweet, tart and salty comes to its full fruition....

The Two Minute Salad

The Two Minute Salad

From the Kitchen of Dr. Amy Rothenberg With all the encouragement to eat more veggies, I always set a goal for myself of eating 10 veggies a day. One trick is to include a veggie or two with breakfast. I have entirely recategorized which foods go with which meals!...
