About This Blog

I have always loved creating and enjoying interesting new food experiences. That’s still true, but now I’m working with some additional constraints. To improve my health, I have adopted a low fat vegan gluten-free diet. I had to re-learn everything I knew about cooking, ingredients, and nutrition. Here, I share the whats, whys and hows of maintaining this health-supportive lifestyle, without giving up great taste and despite the whirlwind that is my everyday life.

Black Rice Salad

There’s been a lot of good news about black rice lately. It is full of antioxidants, including anthocyanins. It is also tasty and easy to prepare. Combined with the orange of sweet potatoes, what better dish could you ask for at Halloween time?

2 cups black rice
4 cups water
2 Tbsp Tamari or low sodium soy sauce
1-2 Tbsp sesame oil, to taste
3 medium roasted, diced sweet potatoes
1.5 cups diced red peppers
1 bunch sliced green onions

Rinse rice well. Place in sauce pan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. When boiling, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for approximately 30 minutes or until al dente. Wisk together tamari and sesame oil. When rice is done, drain any excess water if necessary, but do not rinse. While still hot, toss with tamari and sesame oil mixture. Allow to cool. Place rice in large bowl, add remaining ingredients and toss well.
