Though this is a quite textured corn bread, it is gluten-free, which can be a plus. The flavors go well with roasted meats (see Stuffed Pork Loin Roast here). Use whole grain, organic corn flour from the health food store if possible (as opposed to the standard “degerminated” corn meal). Coconut milk can even substitute…

Broccoli adds nutrients to a meal and potatoes are a healthy way to thicken the soup without using the flour typically used. It makes this a gluten-free recipe, and if you leave off the parmesan garnish, it’s vegan too! Serves 6-8. INGREDIENTS 2 broccoli crowns (stems too, if available) Optional: 1/2 c. leaves or tops…

Make extra of this to store in the freezer for quick last-minute meals; healthy, nourishing, economical, and tasty. Freeze portions in plastic wrap, and microwave later for soup or burritos.

A food processor or immersion blender works well to make this a smooth, creamy soup; the blend of spices is reminiscent of pumpkin pie (only healthier). Omit the extra water to serve this as a side dish. You can also omit the cream for a lower-cholesterol version. Adjust the recipe depending on the size of…
This vegan recipe has a meaty, hearty texture, especially when “hulled barley” (found in health food stores) is used; “pearled” barley is a more processed version of this grain and will cook more quickly. Barley has two outer layers; for “hulled barley”, the outer layer has been removed, but it is considered “whole grain barley”,…

At The New Deli, we save time by processing a big batch of the garlic, salt, and herbs; then we freeze portions, which can quickly be mixed into olive oil and vinegar for an easy, fresh batch of the dressing. We love it on a Greek Salad; it’s good on most any other salad too….
