Today, I am thrilled to present the very first video on Jeanette’s Healthy Living, produced by two of my incredibly creative kids, Kyle and Alex. This video (at the end of this post) is especially meaningful because my youngest son, Alex, is making popsicles for a friend with cancer – he gets it. He has…
Baked Avocado and Egg with Miso “Butter” Recipe (Power Food)
A little while back, I saw a picture on Pinterest of an egg baked in an avocado half and was instantly intrigued. Dr. Mark Hyman also posted it on Facebook. This interesting idea reminded me of the “egg in a hat” that I make for my kids for breakfast sometimes, where an egg is cooked…
Garlic Scape, Cilantro, Swiss Chard Pesto Recipe {CSA Box Recipe}
I joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) group again this summer and have been getting garlic scapes, Swiss chard, romaine lettuce, baby lettuce greens, scallions, and cilantro in my CSA Box the last few weeks. Last year, I made Garlic Scape Swiss Chard Pesto which was a nice change from the traditional basil pesto recipe….
Momofuku Roasted Asparagus with Poached Egg and Miso “Butter” Sauce Recipe (Power Food)
Have you eaten at any of David Chang’s restaurants before? I haven’t, but I have checked out his Momofuku cookbook from the library on several occasions. Cookbooks are my way of traveling and “eating out.” One of the recipes in David Chang’s cookbook that has intrigued me over the years is his Roasted Asparagus with…
Indian Watermelon Lime Salad Recipe
Recently, a friend of mine hosted a homemade Indian luncheon at her home. I am a big fan of Indian cuisine, but have never been treated to such a feast as this. She made a vegetarian meal consisting of six dishes and homemade Indian bread. There was chickpea curry, stuffed eggplant with spices, potato curry,…
Fish Tacos with Coleslaw and Chipotle Sauce Recipe
Fish Tacos with Coleslaw and Chipotle Sauce make a healthy, delicious family-friendly meal. My kids love almost anything served taco style. I think they just like eating with their hands. I like tacos because they are easy to make and can provide a one-dish meal for a casual summer dinner, or for a busy night….
Strawberry Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing Recipe
A few weeks ago, a few of my friends and I co-hosted a Spring Ladies’ Luncheon for our church. We used to serve sandwiches and salad for these luncheons, but found that all the salad would be gone in a flash, leaving a platter full of sandwiches nearly untouched. So, over the years, we have…
The Best Tomato Bruschetta Recipe
This past week has been both exhilarating and difficult. Exhilarating because I came in #1 in Circle of Mom’s Top Foodie Mom Contest! Difficult because two of my boys (my youngest son and one of the twins) suffered concussions within the span of 3 days, and both of them will have celebrated their birthdays…
Easy Chocolate Mousse Recipe (egg-free, dairy-free) – {Secret Recipe Club}
On this Memorial Day, I would like to take a moment to thank all the veterans who have sacrificed their lives so that we might have freedom of religion, press, speech, the right to vote, the right to assemble, and so much more. Today is my youngest son’s birthday – he’s turning ten! I can’t…
Berry Popsicles – Food as Medicine
“Mommy is God’s gift”…”Mommy is more special than anyone I know.” These words from my youngest son today touched my heart in a way that I cannot explain. These words are what help keep me grounded and keep everything I do in perspective. I could soak in these words for 24 hours a day. My…
Cha Cha Bowl (Recipe for Mexican Chicken and Black Bean Rice Bowl)
One of my kids loves Chipotle Grill’s Burritos. This is a gigantic size tortilla filled with rice, beans, meat, salsa, cheese, and sour cream. Although the ingredients in and of themselves don’t sound too unhealthy, one of these burritos with all the fixings (sour cream, cheese, guacamole) tops 1000 calories! However, deconstructed and served as…
Grilled Salmon with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce Recipe
Serve this Grilled Salmon with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce with Stir Fry Bok Choy and Steamed Brown Rice for a deliciously healthy meal. My kids are not big fish eaters unless it’s sushi or fish tacos (they like just about anything wrapped in a tortilla), but I finally found a cooked salmon recipe that they…
Egg Free Greek Potato Salad Recipe
Egg free Greek potato salad is a lighter, healthier potato salad. My oldest son returned home from his first year of college last weekend, and I’ve been a little off kilter this entire week. It feels like I’m a day or two behind…perhaps it was the five loads of laundry that he deposited on the…
Five Easy Breakfast Ideas via Instagram
My husband just bought me an iPhone a few weeks ago and I have been obsessed with taking pictures using it ever since. Not only have I been taking pictures of practically everything I make and posting it on Instagram, but it is so easy to post photos on Facebook to share what I’m making…
Warm Artichoke and Hearts of Palm Dip
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about Food as Medicine and shared my story of how this blog began as a place to record foods I made for my friends with cancer, as well as my personal journey to help feed my family healthy, delicious and beautiful food. I also shared my dream to…
Stir-Fry Spicy Kung Pao Chicken with Walnuts Recipe
Stir-Fry Spicy Kung Pao Chicken was my husband’s favorite dish in college. I made this dish several times a week for him and his suite-mates. I’ve been on a spicy kick lately. Just last week, I made Chicken Tacos with Garlic and Chile Sauce, served with fresh jalapenos. Before serving the tacos to my kids,…
Muhammara {Roasted Red Pepper Walnut Dip} Recipe
Muhammara is a roasted red pepper walnut dip that is perfect for dipping with vegetables or served with toasted pita bread. It is also delicious served on chicken and fish, or stirred into soups as a garnish. I first made Muhammara, a Middle Eastern roasted red pepper walnut dip four years ago. Muhammara originates from Aleppo,…
Chicken In Garlic Chile Sauce Tacos Recipe
This past Monday, I wrote about my passion for cooking for people with cancer and how I had gotten discouraged by someone’s remarks when I told them I wanted to teach cooking lessons for cancer patients and caregivers. Thanks to your support, and the support of my friends, family and Rebecca Katz, I am happy…
Easy Breakfast Bruschetta with Tomato and Avocado Recipe
Don’t forget to enter the Picnic for the Planet 2012 Giveaway to celebrate Earth day – ends April 22nd. This past week, there have a lot of late nights in our family. Spring is in full gear with all the kids’ activities and we are still trying to settle into a routine (although I’m…
Asian Napa Cabbage Carrot Salad Recipe
Today, I am sharing a simple recipe for Asian Napa Cabbage Carrot Salad that I threw together as a way to use up the ends of some napa cabbage I had leftover in my refrigerator. I hate throwing away food (my friends can attest to that as my refrigerator is always full of little…
Lyon-Style Chicken with Vinegar Sauce Recipe
Lyon-Style Chicken with Vinegar Sauce is a simple, healthy and delicious dinner. Spring sports are in full swing in our household and things have gotten pretty crazy lately.
