Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad

November 23, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Ok friends. I swore to my kids I wouldn’t try to create a healthy Thanksgiving menu, but I do think it’s good to balance virtue and vice.

Arugula, Watermelon and Feta Salad

July 3, 2017 By msmart 2 Comments

I use toasted pine nuts in this recipe. Slivered almonds or toasted pecan pieces would also be delicious, or if you have nut allergies leave them out entirely.

Green Bean, Red Pepper and Carrot Slaw

June 9, 2015 By msmart Leave a Comment

Last week I taught a class to a few women in Los Angeles who are no novices in the kitchen. But I stuck with my usual fare. Simple, good food that tends to be healthy but doesn’t follow any particular diet. This is one of our favorites from the class, a colorful green bean slaw that fills the “eat the…
