I mentioned last week that my sautéed kale and corn combo and luscious grilled peaches, while delightful on their own, were initial steps in the creation of a more elaborate dish. Yes, the day you’ve all been waiting for with bated breath is here at last on The Nutrition Doctor is In the Kitchen. Today I bring you a meal…

It’s the end of August and the beginning of Labor Day weekend, the unofficial end of summer. My Farm to Fork class at Harvard starts on Tuesday and I’m currently contemplating getting a treadmill desk for my home office. My horrid back injury consumed half my summer but is finally becoming a distant memory: I’m back to running and am starting to think about the…

Move over, zucchini. The peaches are taking over the grill. If you didn’t know me, you’d think I was talking about beef and chicken and lamb (oh, my). Nope, what I’m talking about is grilled fruit and, more specifically, grilled peaches: a delightful summer treat that celebrates this sunshiny, juicy stone fruit. It’s quite simple and the results can be enjoyed…

This marinara sauce may look simple, and it’s quick easy to make. But don’t let that fool you. If you could scratch and sniff you’d be jumping up and down right now, like I was. All that’s missing from the photo is a bright piece of basil, but I hadn’t plan to write this post and had none left. Today…

I’m not sure I’ve ever posted a side veggie dish before other than a salad. I think that’s because it’s very rare veggies are on the side in Newby world. In my home, vegetables take center stage, baby. In fact, this particular dish became a side for reasons that will become clear as the week unfolds. In the meantime, I give…

Today’s post is the sister to yesterday’s, which was dedicated to Southwestern scrambled eggs with two salsas. To balance out that on-the-long-side post with its multiple steps, which said most of what I need to say about the flavor delights and nutrition of bringing Mexican flavors into your morning, today’s is simply a photo of another Southwestern-style breakfast option: the…

Mexican Food: It’s Not Just For Dinner It feels good to be getting a lot of my dishes featuring global cuisine up here of late. While using big flavors and spices is key to any fabulous cookery, it’s especially important in plant-based meals to bring those vegetables to life. I have many more dishes lined up featuring Indian, Japanese, and…

I’ve spent a lot of time writing about corn and tomatoes, my summer favorites. Zucchini has now taken its rightful place in my seasonal repertoire with a few of my recent posts: the sweet (dark chocolate zucchini bread), the savory (e.g., grilled vegetable parmigiania, Mediterranean veggie sandwich, fajitas), and the salad (sun gold tomatoes and corn with ribbons of zucchini)….

Sweet corn kernels. Sun gold cherry tomatoes. Zucchini ribbons. Olive oil. Vinegar. Parsley. That’s all it takes to create summer sunshine on a plate. (Goat cheese optional.) With a name like this one, I’ll bet you’re thinking about something fruity and sweet, no? I seem to recall some ambrosia-like salad of yore with a similar name. Actually, I had two…

Who doesn’t love Mexican food? No, really, is there anyone, anyone at all that can’t resist nachos, chips and guacamole, burritos, tacos, margaritas, and the like? I certainly can’t. I love it. While not a regular part of my dinner repertoire, I always keep (homemade) burritos on hand in freezer for a quick supper. And once in awhile, when the mood…
