Cat head biscuits are a southern staple. They are tall, fluffy and traditionally made with lard–but you won’t find lard in my Vegan Cat Head Biscuits. Instead, we are using chilled vegan butter, and you won’t believe the light and flaky texture. Instead of traditional sausage gravy, I’ve added a plant-based spinach and mushroom gravy….
Green Goodness – Eating in Season
This Green Goodness puree makes a delicious, seasonal sandwich spread. It’s perfect for hot days when you don’t want to cook. You can also enjoy it like a dip for your favorite vegetables.

Fireworks Black Bean and Mango Salad
This Black Bean and Mango Salad is so quick and easy, it barely qualifies as a recipe. But it explodes with pizzazz, pairing the sweet summer burst mango (let’s hear it for fresh, seasonal and local — summer means mango season in South Florida) with a zing of chili. Black beans add fiber for fullness…
Social Justice with Urban Oasis Project | Sweet Potato Salad
Social justice is making news now, and the whole world is paying attention. Attention is great. Action is better. We all need to pursue social justice every day and support our own communities as a way of life. I am excited to see so many local businesses and organizations creatively seeking ways to do just…
Mango Pulp Fiction – Naked Mango Salad
I wrote this many years ago, in the rich, riotous throes of Miami mango season, long before Covid-19 altered life for all of us. Even in these dark, uncertain days, it’s mango season once again. Savor the sweetness and believe in the bright, sunny days to come. I’d intended a loftier, more literary tone and…
Moroccan Carrot Salad
Today, Earth Day turns 50. For half a century, we’ve devoted a day to make up to the planet the damage we’ve done. Tomorrow at sundown marks the start of Ramadan. It’s very early this year, but right on time with the way we’re living in this time of coronavirus. Ramadan is 30 days of…
Pappa Al Pomodoro: A New Life for Old Bread | Conscious Cookery Day 6
Pappa Al Pomodoro is a soup for everyone made with old bread and bursting with flavor. This soup is a great way to reduce waste and increase consciousness. Before Covid-19 changed our world, many Americans were avidly anti-bread, following Paleo, Keto and gluten-free diets. Sheltering in place has brought out everyone’s inner baker. It’s as…
Just Add Water – Cocina Povera | Conscious Cookery Day 4
We waste up to half our food in this country. This is unacceptable in the best of times and now, in this time of lockdown, well, just don’t do it. Give produce bits and bobs the second chance they deserve. Make vegetable broth and agua fresca for free. Free. Do I have to say it…
Get More Whole Grains Into Your Life
If you’re like me, you keep wondering what you can do to protect yourself from the coronavirus — and ensuing craziness. Wash your hands. Hydrate. Avoid crowds. Load up on hand sanitizer (if you can get it). And eat whole grains. Wednesday is Whole Grains Sampling Day, your friendly reminder from the Whole Grains Council…
My Favorite People, My Favorite Recipes – Joe Yonan
Impeachment acquittal, Trump’s State of the Union address, don’t get me started. What’s really exciting in DC these days isn’t happening on Capitol Hill, it’s happening at the Washington Post. Food editor Joe Yonan has fallen for beans. His new cookbook Cool Beans is a veritable love letter to legumes. This post contains affiliate links….
