This post was written by Tiana Yom Today — April 3rd — is Whole Grain Sampling Day, a nationwide, annual initiative by the Oldways Whole Grains Council (WGC), designed to introduce consumers to the health benefits and great taste of whole grains. This year, events will take place in supermarkets, on the streets, and in foodservice establishments. And today at…
Hello April! It finally looks like Spring around here – hopefully that’s not an April Fools joke! Hope everyone had a nice Spring Break, Passover, and/or Easter holiday. We’re down to the last two days of Passover at our house and it’s been a nice holiday so far. I can’t say I’ve really missed any of the foods you’re not…
Updated April 6, 2015 As promised, here are some of my recipes that can be made all year round, but are also acceptable on Passover. Some have minor modifications that take into account those foods you cannot eat on Passover. Roasted Chicken with Fennel, Carrots, and Dried Plums Roasted Chicken with Artichokes, Peppers, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes Chicken Mexicano with Nectarine…
Last week I didn’t get a chance to share my Menu Plan Monday, but we enjoyed some delicious meals including a trendy take on baked ziti and fish tacos – a family favorite. This week is going to be filled with various cuisines. One night we’ll be going Greek, another night our fabulous nanny is making Dominican food, Indian take…
Hope everyone had a great weekend! The highlight of my weekend was when my one-year old twin girls ate Indian food last night for the first time! I haven’t been shy about giving them herbs and spices since they started eating table food, and they have had many common Indian ingredients – lentils, cilantro, cheese, spinach – but I’ve never…

Chanukah is over, but the holiday season is still in full swing as we start the last two weeks of December. Holiday parties and events continue, which means more nights out and fewer at home cooking nutritious and delicious meals. As you start your week, you may have the best intentions to eat well balanced meals and stay active, but…
Friday afternoon as I sat down to plan my menu for this coming week, my husband started to laugh. He couldn’t believe I was already putting together a menu for the week to come when I hadn’t even finished cooking for that night’s dinner. It does seem like I’m always planning the next meal, but to make sure we eat…
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Last week’s menu went pretty much as planned. Lots of Thanksgiving leftovers and a couple of new recipes that came out great. I had to make a couple of tweaks to the menu based on what was available at the supermarket, and there weren’t really enough leftovers for Sunday dinner, so we had pizza…
Happy Monday! I was all set with my menu for the week until Hurricane Sandy became a serious threat. I’m sitting at home right now waiting for the storm to hit and wondering what we’ll do if we lose power. I wasn’t nervous about this storm until everyone else around me seemed to be panicking. I think it’s contagious! I…
As promised, here is the recipe for the fish dish I made to go along with the Cider Wheat Berry Salad with Acorn Squash that I made for this month’s Recipe ReDux.
