Yoga and Nutrition are Perfect Partners Multi-Grain & Vegetable Stir-Fry with Crisp Tofu and Peanuts Recently one of my favorite yoga instructors at the Pine Lake Club, Rebecca, asked me speak about dietary approaches to “cleansing” before a cleansing yoga workshop she was leading. As the dietitian-nutritionist for the club, I said “sure, but….” [...]
Salmon Braised in Red Wine with Greens, Crisped Prosciutto and Radish Crunch The April, 2013 pre-conference tour for attendees of the Washington State Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics annual meeting continues to Willie Green’s organic farm in Monroe and on to Patterson Cellars in Woodinville.

Farro and Spring Asparagus Salad with Fava Beans, Arugula, Basil and Oil-Cured Tomato Dressing from Chef Lisa Dupar I’m not a farm girl. Of course I seek the best quality agriculture products for my never-ending kitchen exploits, but the closest I get to a farm is a trip to the Farmer’s [...]
Make Meatballs Who doesn’t have stress? Group it with taxes and death – unavoidable. While we all have stress, some more than others, what matters most is how we cope with it. My top stress-busters are to: · Call a friend · Take a walk or a bike ride in nature · Attend yoga class [...]

My recipe [...]

A good friend introduced me to lactose-free milk in coffee because it tastes sweeter than regular milk. Recently my nutrition students made the same discovery during a sampling of lactose-free and regular milk. The word [...]
Apricot-Almond Crumb Bars I take a lazy, low-tech approach to DIY (Do It Yourself), but by February I’m glad I made a little time last year to preserve one of the best parts of summer – fruits. I don’t bother with a canner or dehydrator, but do task my freezer with storing [...]

Over the past year my pantry has been slowly populated with an unusual variety of salt – of various textures, blends and far-flung origins. I’ve been having fun sprinkling, cooking and learning. I’m not the only one. I’d say salt is “the food gift” for 2012. Friends are discussing, buying and giving salts. [...]
