Miso soup is a marvel

Quick is not even the word: By the time it comes to a boil, it’s done, a whole pot full!

Miso Soup is an incredibly nutritious and versatile low calorie Whole-Meal-in-a-Bowl.

I am giving you here a basic recipe, but I am including as many variations as I can think of, and let you play with it and get another exciting variationeach time. It will all be ready as soon as it comes to a boil.

You may never go back to the Chinese restaurant miso soup variety, unless you do, once in a blue moon, as I do: order it to your specifications: No canned veggies please! Banish the canned baby corn, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts: who needs it? Instead spread the fresh good stuff thick: fresh mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, snow peas, and so on.

Quick Minestrone Soup Recipe

minestrone soup

My Quick Minestrone tastes as if you had slaved on it!

I trust you should have no trouble whatsoever finding dozens of delicious minestrone recipes, made the loving unhurried way. My idea for this quick and incredibly satisfying version of the classic was: How can I play with the same ingredients and still get a great minestrone in a fraction of the time, and as always, all natural? The answer is:

Frozen vegetables are the best!

The fabulous selection of unprocessed frozen vegetables available in supermarkets, and dry herbs (although if you do have fresh basil, it would be really nice) makes for a wonderful soup.

This soup requires no prep work at all.

Please note the optional grains I have suggested cook quickly and need no soaking, to keep up with the brief cooking time of the soup.

chocolate chip magic health bars

Health bars are a delicious nutrition-packed mini meal

You may never again get anywhere close to the commercial worthless unhealthy health bars perplexingly and inaccurately marketed as healthy and good for you; Made with high fructose corn syrup and soy protein isolates: Healthy? Ugh, I don’t think so! Not enough people are aware of the dangers these two ingredients pose. Please read my blog post on the subject, What Price Protein: Beware of Those Protein Bars! 

My Magic Health Bars are loaded with super healthy ingredients:

This places them in an ideally enviable position, both as a healthy dessert and as a healthy small meal: Hence the Magic in their name. The other part of the magic is, well, my Magic Health Bars live up to their healthy name, plus they are fabulous, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free-adaptable, soy-free, crunchy and very moderately sweet. The bars will travel better than their Magic Cookie first cousins (exact same recipe, cookie shapes), compact and snug as they are: the perfect on-the-go food!

Fish Curry Recipe

Consider this fish curry a complete meal.

Once you master the delightful gamut of Indian flavors in your own kitchen, it will be kind of hard to have an appreciation for them in a restaurant, as you will do better each time at home.

I made this fish curry with Swiss chard, because a magnificent bunch was waving at me invitingly, I just had to take it home, and indeed it paired beautifully with the fresh tomatoes. But you can substitute other vegetables for the Swiss Chard (cauliflower, peas, small potatoes, sliced okra etc…)

For a vegetarian dish:

Proceed with this fish curry recipe, and substitute 2 pounds of extra-firm tofu cut into inch cubes or unflavored seitan for the fish.

My roasted salmon recipe is one of my biggest crowd pleasers.

I can’t tell you how many people make it. The short and dazzling favor lineup in this roasted salmon dish does its magic with practically no work.
No problem doubling the roasted salmon recipe when you have a larger group, it will all get prepared in the same record time. When I make it for a party, it is the very last thing I put into the oven, as guests arrive: that’s how quick and foolproof it is! You will never say you are bored of salmon again!

Bluefish will be suitable here, as well as any thick white fish (bass, mahimahi, halibut, etc.).

For this recipe, as with all recipes, no exception, please use a real, not disposable, pan. A real pan makes the whole difference, not only in the end results in this dish, and absolutely every dish, but in doing the right thing about cooking the healthful way.

Roasted salmon is delicious at room temperature too.
