Sweet Potato Red Curry with Baby Bok Choy and Tofu By Sara Novak IN Food & Health Dec 3 2010 I got the email Wednesday from my friend Ginny pleading that we pick up some of the new abundance of sweet potatoes from the front porch. It seemed the crop was double the size they had initially expected. And just like that I rushed across the neighborhood basket in hand and returned with more sweet potatoes than I knew what to do with. + READ MORE

Enjoy Comfy Sri Lankan Potato and Coconut Curry On a Cold Winter's Day By Sara Novak IN Food & Health Feb 5 2010 And as we brace for another winter storm (in our case barrels of rain), I reach for all things comfy like pajamas, blankets, teas, and hearty eats.

Keeping your heating bills in check is not only easier on the planet, it's a simple way to keep your budget under control. + READ MORE

Frugal Vegetarian Eating: Chickpeas and Spinach By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jan 21 2010 I generally cook vegetarian meals for our weeknight dinners.We occasionallly have meat, but not that often. Not only is it healthier for us and for the environment, it's easier on the pocketbook.

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

A Home Cooked Take-out Treat: Indian Butter Chicken By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Dec 8 2009 I had a family crisis this fall, so I was out of the house a lot and my husband had to fend for himself for dinner. I felt guilty about it, but as it turns out he was happy to go to a local Indian restaurant and feed his obsession with their butter chicken. Whenever I suggested that we could try something else from the menu, he would just look at me as though we'd never met. Once things settled down and I was home more often, I realized that I better learn how to make butter chicken or face bankrupcy. + READ MORE

Indian Cuisine at Home: Dal Makhani By Sara Novak IN Food & Health Aug 25 2009 I've always been a fan of Indian foods because so many of the dishes are vegetarian and still so full of flavor.

5 Free Green Ways to Reverse Summer Skin and Hair Damage By Laurel House IN Fashion & Beauty Aug 20 2009 Seems we?re often attempting to mimic nature when paying big bucks for beautifying treatments. You spend wads of cash trying to get a ?natural? spray tan glow?the more expensive, the more seemingly ?natural.? You dedicate hours out of your day at the local hair salon trying to transform your locks from dull and mousy to sun-kissed and highlighted. Since Mother Nature has proven herself to be the most direct (and least expensive) route to beauty, why do we continue to try and outdo her with chemically concocted copy-cats that pale in comparison? + READ MORE

Quick Spicy Cauliflower and Chickpea Curry By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jul 22 2009 I find that I become a really lazy cook during the summer months, especially when I'm at the cottage. I'd much rather be sitting on the dock with a book than standing at the stove cooking dinner. I tend to throw stuff on the grill, or occasionally get myself together to get my crock pot going in the morning. It saves time cooking, and there are fewer dishes to wash afterwards. + READ MORE

Make An Easy Indian Dal By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Apr 10 2009 I made this lentil dish for my vegetarian son to eat at a family dinner at my mother-in-law's where the main course was a roast. Otherwise he gets to eat salad and potatoes. I didn't add as much liquid as the recipe calls for, because I wanted it to be more like a stew, but it really is supposed to be a soup. + READ MORE

Chicken (or Tofu) Tikka Masala By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Apr 8 2009 I know that one of the delights about ordering in is that you get dinner quickly. But sometimes all that is required is a bit of planning ahead. This recipe takes a bit of marinating, but if you've been craving some spicy Indian food, this is an excellent recipe. Once the marinating is done, it doesn't take long to make at all. + READ MORE
