In keeping with the season of resolutions, I have given you a recipe that is about as simple and as healthy as you can get. There isn't much to this, just lots of green leafy vegetables and some good stock. I know it sounds a bit bland, but it really isn't at all.

A Crunchy Celery Root and Beet Salad By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Dec 21 2009 We have seen the last of the late fall greens here in Toronto, so there won't be much in the way of a green salad for us until spring. Now is the time to turn to other vegetables for a winter salad. I've made winter salads from roasted vegetables before and I made my beet, avocado and pea shoot salad this week for a pot luck. + READ MORE

Soup of the Week: Butternut Squash and Apple By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Dec 18 2009 A few years ago it seemed that every restaurant you went to had butternut squash soup as the soup of the day. I quite like it, and it's one of my daughter's favourites, but I did get a bit tired of seeing it everywhere. I couldn't resist however when I found a squash at the farmers' market that was the perfect size for soup. And then I added a new ingredient... + 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: Parsnip By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Dec 11 2009 On those mornings when it is getting close to lunch time and I'm thinking about what to make, I most often think about what I have on hand for soup. I do sometimes make a huge pot of soup to have over a couple of days, but more often than not I use up leftovers or bits and pieces of ingredients from other recipes and make just enough soup for two. + READ MORE

Try a Winter Salad to Beat Holiday Excess By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Dec 10 2009 It seems ridiculous, because we just had our first snow storm of the year which normally makes you crave stews and the like, but after all of that heavy eating we've done in the past week, my husband and I really wanted something light, something green. It's not so easy to do that kind of a meal in December in Toronto, but I actually have some salad greens from my farmers' market because we had such an astonishingly mild November. + READ MORE

Healthy Eating for December: Chili Lime Tofu By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Dec 3 2009 This is the time of year when you might find yourself indulging a little more than you should. Christmas parties follow hard on the heels of the big Thanksgiving feast. So for those evenings when you aren't nibbling shortbread cookies and drinking egg nog with friends and family, you probably should be thinking about healthy meals. + READ MORE

Jonathan Safran Foer on Factory Farming, Thanksgiving, and Birthday Cake (Interview) By Rachel Cernansky IN Food & Health Dec 2 2009 What matters is how animals are treated and how the environment is treated. If we can move toward a place where people are eating less meat--and approach dietary transformation through meals, rather than through lifestyle patterns, I wonder if it wouldn't be more effective. I'm not interested in perfection. I'm interested in working on these issues. + READ MORE

Try a New Vegetable: Broccoli Rabe By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Nov 30 2009 I can remember many years ago, when I first encountered broccoli rabe, (or rapini, as it is also known), I didn't know what to do with it. It looked a bit like broccoli, but it clearly wasn't. The individual heads were significantly smaller than broccoli and there was a lot more foliage, but it looked interesting, so I decided to try it. + READ MORE
