They contain fiber, potassium, and vitamin B6 among many other vitamins. What’s fun about this eggplant salad is that it is not dripping with liquids, so you can put it [...]

Must-Bake: Oh My God Iced Yellow Pumpkin Cookies

The Meatless Cook — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 10:00:22 +0000

Pumpkins aren’t specific to any region, they are available almost everywhere. When I was younger, I used to have pumpkins almost every day in the form of different types of curries.

All the Goodness in a Jar: Green Tomato Jam

The Meatless Cook — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 13:30:31 +0000

I have yet to explore the health benefits of green tomatoes. Cost wise, tomatoes have always been much cheaper than vegetables. Whenever, I hear anything unusual about tomatoes, I quickly remember the Tomatina festival in Spain. What a fun and frolic – fighting with tomatoes! La Tomatina is a festival of its own in the [...]

I would be surprised if I met anyone who hated bananas. And who would not l.o.v.e. warm, moist banana bread topped with almond butter?
