When it’s nothing but hot, hot, hot, these simple, refreshing summer drinks – with our without alcohol – are a great way to cool down!

Summer Watermelon Margarita

4 cups cubed seeded watermelon – freeze for frozen drinks!
Juice of two lemons, or 4 limes

Adults-only version:

3/4 cup good tequila
Shot of triple sec

Optional garnish ideas – pick one, or get creative: Lime wedges, watermelon wedges (rind on), mint, cayenne pepper, sugar on rim of glass.

Frozen Melon Directions: Add first two ingredients to the blender, with 1/4 cup of water and “adult” ingredients, if using. Blend, tamping down as needed, until smooth (do not over-blend, you want this thick and frosty). Serve immediately.

Non-Frozen Melon Directions: Add first two ingredients, plus “adult” ingredients, if using, to the blender and blend until smooth. Pour over ice to serve.

Spicy Black Bean Quinoa Burgers, over Crispy Salad

June 21, 2014 by Jennifer Silverberg Leave a Comment

LOVE this recipe for Spicy Black Bean Quinoa Burgers, and with this salad, it hits ALL the right tastes and textures: spicy, savory, salty, fresh, and even sweet, with the optional mango.

If you don’t have the exact ingredients below, feel free to sub with similar … chipotle can be replaced with a bit of Sriracha sauce … or even black beans with white beans. Play around – worst case, it falls apart but it still delicious!!!

Serves 2-4, depending on how hungry they are 🙂

RECIPE:

Patty Ingredients

½ cup onion, fine diced

1 clove garlic, minced

¼ cup jalapeno or bell pepper, fine diced

1 teaspoon cumin seed

½ teaspoon olive oil

1½ cups black beans, cooked and drained

2 Tbsp tomato paste

1 Tbsp minced chipotle chile in adobo sauce

½ cup cooked quinoa << Click2Cart my favorite brand, at Walmart

1/2 cup rolled oats, ground into crumbs

½ teaspoon salt

Optional items, for a different texture/taste/nutrition:

1 egg (makes the patties hold together better, but you can skip for a vegan version)

¼ cup chopped cilantro (add with quinoa)

¼ cup grated cheese (add with quinoa)

2 tablespoons minced almonds or pepitas (add with quinoa)

1 cup fine chopped kale (packed cup, about 2-3 leaves) (add with quinoa)

Salad ingredients

Cabbage, 1/4 medium head, finely sliced

Cashews, about 1/4 cup, raw, unsalted

Carrot (1 large), Grated

Cauliflower (1/4 medium head), medium dice

Green onions (3 average-sized) thinly sliced on a diagonal

Romaine lettuce (1 bunch), cut into strips

Optional: Mango, 1 medium, in a small dice

Optional: shredded organic sharp cheddar

Dressing Ingredients

Juice of one – two limes (depending on juiciness of limes)

3 tbsp olive oil

Pinch of cumin

Pinch of salt

Directions

Prep:
Cook quinoa and let cool … or ideally, use leftovers :-).

Heat olive oil over medium heat and add the onion, garlic, jalapeno and cumin, plus a pinch of salt. Saute about 5-6 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Place into a large bowl, and add 1 cup of the black beans (reserve 1/2 cup for texture, later) and tomato paste. Using a potato masher or large fork, mash all of the ingredients together.

Stir in the remaining beans along with quinoa and ground oats until evenly distributed. Make 4-6 patties, packing them tightly with your hands, and let rest in the refrigerator for at least a few hours.

To Cook/Assemble:
Preferred: Bake on an oiled baking sheet at 400ºF for 20 minutes until heated. Flip halfway to brown evenly.

Alternate: In a skillet over medium-high heat, fry in a bit of oil for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

While patties are cooking, mix the dressing ingredients well in a large bowl, taste and correct seasoning if necessary, then toss all salad ingredients with the dressing. Note: the flavor of this dish is complemented by the dressing, but doesn’t depend on it, so it needs very little dressing. If you’re concerned you need more, feel free to make it, but hold it to the side until you’ve tasted the patties/salad together – you may find you don’t need it at all.

To Serve:
Plate the salad in large bowls and top with the warm, golden brown patties.

Love those Vibrant Veggies!

June 16, 2014 by Jennifer Silverberg Leave a Comment

This weekend, when I was walking around my Farmer’s market, and then later around my local Whole Foods, it occurred to me that when I looked at fresh, local, farm produce, it nearly vibrated with light and vibrant health. Early tomatoes glowed, eggplant shimmered, and cabbage was jumping out of its skin … and I immediately understood that they would have a similar effect on my health, the visible (skin, hair, energy) and the invisible parts (disease-fighting, hormonal balance, etc).

In contrast, nothing in a package even winked, they just kind of sat there. Seemed kind of dead and desolate by comparison.

I know what I’m eating these days! Check out my Vibrant Health Recipes page for vibrant veggie cooking inspiration!

Colorful Roast Spring Squash – a great way to celebrate the colors of Spring!

May 25, 2014 by Jennifer Silverberg Leave a Comment

This one takes a little work to assemble (:-) you’ve been forewarned), but is a fun project with kids and is REALLY pretty on the table. I actually like the non-casserole version better when served piping hot, but plenty of people disagree with me (and the casserole is crazy delicious when served cold) so here you go with both versions!

Ingredients
4 medium carrots
Spring zucchini and yellow squash – amount depends on size. I like the smaller spring versions, and buy about 20 of those, but if you have larger ones, the quantity is lower.
4 fresh garlic cloves, finely chopped or pressed
3/4 cup mushrooms, chopped, pick your favorite type
1.5 tbsp fresh thyme (I love lemon thyme in this, if you have it)
1 tbsp olive or coconut oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Additional for casserole version:
4 eggs
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup milk (any type, and optional)
1/2 cup cheese (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.

Slice carrots into thick matchsticks or similar small pieces, about 2″ tall. Warm oil in oven-safe casserole dish (about pie-pan size) over medium heat. Add garlic, mushrooms, carrots, and 1 tbsp of the thyme. Cook slowly for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are warmed throughout, then remove carrots and spread them out to cool, leaving the mushrooms and garlic in the pan.

While the carrots are cooking and cooling, cut the zucchini into similar large matchstick pieces.

Now, the fun begins. Spread the mushroom mixture across the pan, and begin arranging the matchsticks upright over them. Kids love helping with this, it’s a game. I find it easier to start in the middle and move outward. If you’re feeling creative, make a pattern, like a flower, with the colors. Go all the way to the edges so that the pieces stay upright while baking. If you’re not making the casserole version, sprinkle the remaining thyme over the vegetables, add salt and pepper, and pop into the oven for about 20 minutes, or until veggies are soft but not mushy (use a fork to gauge readiness).

Casserole variation: before putting the veggies in the oven, whirl the eggs, plus the cheese and milk if you’re using them, in your blender on low, along with pinch of salt. Stir in the parsley, and pour evenly over the vegetables. Grind pepper over all. Bake until the eggs are set, and the vegetables are soft but not mushy – you can tell by using a fork. Let rest about 10 minutes before eating. This dish is also excellent served cold!

Cabbage-Onion Saute with Marinated Cucumber Salad

May 19, 2014 by Jennifer Silverberg Leave a Comment

Cabbage-Onion Sauté with Marinated Cucumber Salad

Time: 20 minutes

This super-simple, idea-to-table-in-20-minutes dinner is great for a night where you’re behind in your veggie 7-a-day, but want something full of flavor! The bit of Dijon mustard in the cabbage brings out the natural cabbage and onion flavors, but feel free to sub in herbs or veggies you have on hand. Turmeric is amazing, particularly with coconut oil … or dill, sliced fennel, or finely diced carrot for a sweeter taste. Let me know if you find a great flavor profile you’d like to share!

For the Cabbage-Onion Sauté:
1/3 – 1/2 medium head organic green or Savoy cabbage, sliced (can be thin or thick, your choice)
1 medium organic onions, sliced
1 Tbsp. organic coconut oil, or butter
Salt
Pepper, freshly ground
Optional: 1 tbsp grainy Dijon mustard

For the salad:
1 organic cucumber, thinly sliced
4 tbsp rice wine vinegar (with no sugar), or white wine vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 organic red pepper, sliced into strips
1+ cups arugula

Optional: 1/2 sliced avocado on the side

Melt coconut oil or butter over medium-high heat and add the cabbage and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes or until soft (to your taste) and lightly browned. Stir in the dijon mustard and let melt into the vegetable mixture for at least a minute or so before plating.

After adding the cabbage and onions to the pan, thinly slice the cucumber, sprinkle with the rice vinegar, then the oil, then the salt and pepper, then stir. Let rest until the Cabbage/Onion mixture is ready.

To plate: serve the cabbage/onion mixture. Beside this, put the arugula, top with the red pepper, then place the cucumber slices over all (the oil and vinegar will fall over the arugula). Slice the avocado (yeah, it’s optional, but really? :-)) and place with the salad, or next to the cabbage. This will all come together on the plate delightfully.

Ideas for Craveworthy, HEALTHY Pizza!

May 19, 2014 by Jennifer Silverberg Leave a Comment

Food marketers pull out all the stops to make you crave their foods … fight back by using their secrets to train your body to crave the foods you WANT to eat, for vibrant health!

Craveworthy, HEALTHY pizza!

Hint: all that greasy cheese actually doesn’t even have that much flavor – you won’t miss it!

Use thin-crust, light-on-the-cheese pizza as a base, and then PILE on the veggies! Pretty much anything goes – onions, peppers, arugula (my fave), garlic, broccoli, eggplant, sweet potato, kale, zucchini (sliced thinly using a peeler) etc. Pile it on and eat salad with your hands!
(My favorite tip) Saute a huge handful of pressed garlic cloves in a little olive oil, add a little parsley, and use as the sauce, as a topping, or as a dipping sauce for your pizza. Adds mad flavor, fun, and the healthy goodness of garlic!
When you make homemade pizza, experiment with using very light cheese, or no cheese at all! Or, switch in unexpected cheeses with more flavor than mozzarella – like gorgonzola. A little goes a LONG way on flavor!
Another way to amp up flavor and healthiness is with herbs: try oregano, rosemary, thyme … and of course, crushed red pepper!
Pizza re-heating tip: place it in an iron or stainless steel skillet with just a tiny bit of oil … heat over medium heat, cover at the beginning if needed to warm up toppings. The crust will be crispy and delicious!
Avoiding gluten? Some of the new cauliflower-crust recipes are AMAZING, and taste/feel just like regular thin crust!

Don’t let candy marketers in your Easter basket! :-)

April 19, 2014 by Jennifer Silverberg Leave a Comment

Hey … just to let you know … someone else, someone without your best interest at heart, is trying to grab hold of your Easter and make it all a little crazy.

Somehow, a celebration of rebirth has gotten stuffed into a gooey, mass-produced, junky mess of chocolate-flavored waxy substance. Or sugar-coated marshmallows, dyed pink. Or blue or yellow. Marketers make it, and we buy into it, somewhat mindlessly throwing these pastel-colored sugar bombs into our shopping cart without really thinking: is there a good reason to feed this to my kids? Is it feeding their health or stealing their health?

And if it’s stealing their health … (it is) … how on earth is that a reasonable celebration of the rebirth of a holy life? I mentioned this to a friend the other day, and she said (thankfully not in front of her child), “seriously, Jennifer, can’t we just let them have a little fun every now and then?” And then she stopped and said, “wow, did I really just say that?”

Yes, you just bought into what every food marketer wants you to internalize: Sugar=Fun. Taking away sugar=punishment, or at the least, loss of fun. And what parent wants to steal fun from their kids?

What if, instead, we spoke the truth? The junky candy that is sold at Easter = junk in kids’ bodies. Skipping it = showing love. There are thousands of ways to have fun that have nothing to do with junky foods! And there are definitely better ways to celebrate rebirth!

Here are just a few, to get you started:

My favorite: Plant a garden together. If it’s not time in your area, start seeds indoors. Seriously, what is more rebirth-affirming than watching seeds turn into food?
Make a clean sweep of a room that really needs it. Playrooms would be great. Where would these toys have a “new life” with kids who need them? Same with clothing, or books!
Get a tree guidebook and look up the trees in your neighborhood. Give your favorites names, and watch them grow throughout the year.
Adopt a dog or cat from a shelter – give them a new life! Note: please do NOT get a baby chick or bunny, unless you have experience with these animals and know how to give them a good, long life. Most die within a few weeks of being purchased for Easter.
Sprout your own seeds, for eating! This is a great quick project – you can sprout things that grow within just a few days! Watch the seeds “come to life” together, and then add them to salads or sandwiches.
Start a family “Rebirth” journal. Use this as your own personal new year, and have every family member write in what talent, hobby, or habit they want to be “born” in them this year. Every year, review the prior year’s commitment, and discuss how it has blossomed in your life.

That’s just a few, but they all have much longer-lasting, positive impact than anything that comes in a Pez dispenser or plastic packaging!

Happy, Healthy Easter!

Bittersweet Winter Greens Salad

March 15, 2014 by Jennifer Silverberg Leave a Comment

Winter greens are delicious, with stronger flavors than most summer salad choices. That’s a good thing, so that they can stand up to the heavier winter flavors of root vegetables and so forth … but for small children and others that are more sensitive to strong, bitter flavors, you may want to balance the flavors with a slightly sweet dressing.

This recipe uses a quick “cheat” that is probably already in your fridge.

Bittersweet Winter Greens Salad Recipe

Go to your local farmer’s market or grocery for a large bag of winter greens: escarole, sorrel, swiss chard, arugula, etc. Just before preparing the salad, wash the greens and let them dry in a colander.

In a small mason jar, mix 1/4 c olive oil, 1/4 c red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp jam – apple, berry, or other sweet flavor. Add a pinch of salt, a twist of pepper, and then put on the top and shake until well mixed. Pour over the greens (to taste), toss, and serve immediately.

Optional add-ins: any nuts, feta cheese, purple onions, dried fruits (cranberries are delicious), oranges or mandarin bits, or avocado (of course). Also great served over leftover quinoa or other grains.

What is your “but”? (biggest healthy eating challenge)

September 15, 2013 by Jennifer Silverberg Leave a Comment

Most people say they want to make healthier food choices … but.

: What is your but?Marco Bellucci / Foter / CC BY

Are any of these YOUR but?

I don’t think I can afford to eat healthfully.

What exactly is healthy and what is unhealthy, anyway?
I don’t have time to cook.
I’ve already tried and it hasn’t worked.
My husband/wife won’t do it with me and I can’t make the changes alone.
I’m just too weak.

I’m only eating lowfat foods and I don’t know what else I can do.

I’m working on a project – a BIG BIG BIG project (that I’m really excited about) – and would love to hear more from you about your “but.” PLEASE comment below – thanks in advance!
