I found the greatest little prize for Real Food, People & Health’s next contest! A treasure I plucked from a second hand store (lovingly…not rabidly) and can’t wait to tell you about!
The book is by Chef Michel Nischan titled, “Homegrown: Pure and Simple.”
Now – when I bought this book, it was without the fancy jacket cover so if you win, don’t be all pouty that the photo of tomatoes and stew/soup is absent. I’m warning you now.
So, while this book does contain recipes that include meat (grilled smoked pork loin with home baked beans, anyone?) they also include delicious noshing ideas such as green pea soup with caramelized paneer.
Some other interesting food ideas include:
Skillet browned broccoli and cauliflower with pan-toasted garlic
Shiitake mushrooms and koshihikari rice cakes
Sweet potato breakfast bread
Roasted asparagus with spring garlic scapes and parmesan
Sounds amazing, right? Michel even goes as far as to offer recipes for soup stocks and desserts! You definitely want this book if you are interested in exploring a healthier lifestyle of food and nutrition!

Oh…and it’s Friday! I’m headed outdoors to soak up some Vitamin D!
