Sag Paneer
We have Indian food at least once a week in our house, and I’m telling you, this is a cracking recipe. Not only because it requires little preparation, but also because it’s so good for you. If you don’t like Paneer (Indian cheese) or don’t have an Indian grocery store nearby, this dish is still divine. Try it with basmati rice and oooh, I can’t help myself: a nice bowl of Dal would go nicely with it. Argh, I know, we’re trying to save time, but I just have to slip the idea in. Just cuz. I can honestly say that I too have those days when I just want to curl up on the couch with a cup of tea, turn on the TV, and chill out without a thought of what to make for dinner each night. Don’t we all dream about having our own personal chef (a personal assistant would be nice as well) on our craziest days? When I finish my tea, come back to reality, and shimmy off the couch, I roll up my sleeves and cook simple yet satisfying dishes that save money and time.

Superhero Soup
This recipe is a twist on Charlotte Gerson’s famous Hippocrates Soup which is full of rejuvenating nutrients to help you enjoy good health. Enjoy Superhero Soup when you are feeling low on energy, in need of an uplifting meal after a big night out, or simply just to enjoy “feel good” food. I often start by checking out what greens are hanging out in the fridge, then I add a few special ingredients: rainbow carrots, shiitake mushrooms, daikon, or lotus root. Whatever takes your fancy, as long as it’s organic and fresh. Always remember that when your greens get bendy and limp, they’ve lost their spark and lack nutritional value. For a nice kick, add a splash of Nama Shoyu (naturally brewed soy sauce) at the end of cooking for flavor. In case you’re wondering, you won’t turn into Wonder Woman or Bat Man as a result of eating this soup, but you will feel energized, clean, serene, and lean by incorporating this recipe into your regular diet. Superhero Soup 6 cups of filtered water 1 cup broccoli florets 1 1/2 cups of rainbow carrots, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 1 cup daikon, cubed 1 cup mushrooms (any organic type that takes [...]
