The farmer I purchase corn from at our farmer's market says the corn should keep growing until December, if there's no rain. I'm taking full advantage, and I've recently been transforming that corn into this ginger-y, peanut-y corn dish.

Cozy Red Lentil Dal with Ginger & Turmeric

This dal is the meal that's most often repeated in our house. It's my favorite savory breakfast on cool mornings, it travels well in a thermos for work lunches, and it's a quick last-minute pantry-meal when I have little else in the fridge. Red lentils are simmered with onion, turmeric, chili powder and curry powder. Kale is added towards the end, and the soup is finished with ginger and lime.

Indian Quinoa Salad with Mango Cilantro Chutney

Fresh herbs. Most people use them only as a garnish. But I think we should be using them much more generously. I consider herbs as their own category in a meal and encourage my clients to do the same. Did you know fresh herbs can help regulate different systems in the body? Here's the rundown on a few of the most common herbs.

Golden Ghee

You may have noticed just a few of my recipes call for ghee. ;-) So I'm overdue for sharing a recipe for ghee itself. It’s an all-seasons pantry staple in my kitchen and it couldn’t be quicker or more satisfying to make.
