Kale & Sunflower Seeds
Kale is an extremely healthful leafy green and a more sophisticated cousin to spinach. However, I find kale to be a little bitter for my taste. I just read about "dinosaur" kale, a variety of kale that is sweeter and nuttier than regular kale, nicknamed "dinosaur" for the texture of the leaves.

I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I had the honor of cooking dinner for a small group of four people. The meal was vegetarian (actually vegan, except for one dessert), mostly organic, with no added sugar and nothing refined.
Vegetable Purée Soup
There's really nothing more comforting in winter than a bowl of soup. I've never made soup, but I love vegetable purées and I was feeling inspired.
I had never done this before, so I did everything intuitively and used whatever vegetables looked good when I was shopping.
A Typical Day
One reader asked to see a sample menu of what I eat in a typical day. I thought this was a great idea, but before I get into it, I thought I'd talk a little about my eating habits.
First of all, I'm a vegetarian.
