An Easy and Delicious Pork Stir-Fry By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Nov 1 2010 My husband is the guinea pig for all the recipes I post on Planet Green and TreeHugger. He's an excellent sport about it all, eating whatever I put in front of him without complaint. But every once in a while he rebels and asks me to put aside the lentils and kale and make him a Chinese meal. I usually turn to Fuchsia Dunlop and find something spicy and delicious, better than anything you can get for Chinese take-out. + READ MORE

A Take-out Treat at Made at Home: Steamed Pork Buns By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Oct 19 2010 A couple of years ago, I shared a recipe for steamed pork buns with Planet Green readers. Since then I have discovered the wonderful cookbooks of Fuchsia Dunlop. She has a rather different recipe for pork buns, and seeing as it is one of my husband's favourite treats, I decided to give it a try. The results were quite different from the pork buns I have made in the past. + READ MORE

Ridiculously Delicious Vegan Lettuce Wraps By Sara Novak IN Food & Health Mar 26 2010 My mom gets a little funkier and greener in her cooking every time I see her. She's gotten into vegetarian eats instead of her traditional meat, veggie, and carb combo of old. These days it's a meal loaded to the brim with vegetables and meat-free protein sources. Recently, when we went to visit her she made these divine lettuce wraps. They were even vegan. + READ MORE

25 Take-Out Foods You Can Make at Home For Cheaper By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Dec 14 2009 digg_url = 'http://planetgreen.discovery.com/food-health/takeout-treats-home.html';Other than the ubiquitous fast food hamburger or fried chicken, it seems to me that the majority of take-out foods come from cuisines other than American. Pulling together the material for this post made my wonder why that is. Do we order Chinese food because we don't normally have the ingredients for it in our pantries? Do we order Indian food because it's too foreign to cook it ourselves? Do we take-out fried chicken because we are afraid to deep fry something? + READ MORE

Soup of the Week: Asian Egg Drop By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Apr 24 2009 Earlier this week, we had one of those cold rainy days that makes you want to make soup. I really didn't feel like braving the elements, so I had to come up with something that I could make from the ingredients I had on hand. I was pretty low in the fresh vegetable department, but I had eggs. + READ MORE

Try this Spicy Sichuan Eggplant By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Apr 22 2009 I'm always talking about allowing yourself flexibility in the kitchen. Let your ingredients give you a bit of guidance. I usually start out with a particular ingredient or recipe in mind and then build my menu around that. I had planned to make a vegan potato salad and I found some organic pork scallopini at my local market which I could quickly pan fry adding a little stock and a bit of lemon juice to make a sauce. Scouring the vegetable aisle for something from Ontario, I came across some greenhouse eggplant. + READ MORE

A Chinese Stir-fry From Leftovers By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Mar 11 2009 Tuesday is garbage day at our house, so that means the weekly fridge clean out meal happens Sunday or Monday. It was especially important this week, because I'll be away for a week so I don't want a lot stuff hanging around growing mold. It's a good habit to get into because with high food costs, uncertain economic times and the state of our landfills, you don't want to be wasting any food. + READ MORE

Make Some Chinese Dan Dan Noodles By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Mar 10 2009 I've been making a Chinese beef and noodle dish for my family for years. It's extremely quick and easy and everybody loved it, so it was always my fallback dish if I was in a hurry or lacking in inspiration. You cooked the ground beef and added a bit of soy sauce and a pinch of sugar, then you put the sauce ingredients in the base of individual serving bowls, which allowed the adult's dinner to be spicier than the kids. + READ MORE

Some Say Red Bull, I Say Kombucha!! By Seth Leitman IN Food & Health Feb 6 2009 Recently I had purchased a Red Bull drink and noticed that even though there is a lot of Vitamin B, there is a lot of sugar (you can get sugar-free, but then you have that sugar replacement stuff instead). + READ MORE

Happy Year of the Ox! By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jan 26 2009 Today is the Chinese New Year and we move from the Year of the Rat to the Year of the Ox. Babies born in the year of the ox will mature to be stable and persevering, obtaining prosperity through hard work as well as being patient, strong and responsible. Sounds to me like those born in the Year of the Ox will have all of the traits necessary to get through a recession. So all of you people born in a previous Ox year (newly minted President Obama being one of them), it's time for you to shine. + READ MORE
