(airing on Cosmo TV) came back to the kitchen for a visit. Remember the last time he was here? I flirted my heart out with him and it seemed he wanted to come back for more. On the menu were our kitchen fave veggie rice wraps with almond dipping sauce and our conversation quickly went off course. One moment we're talking flaccid cucumber and the next we chatted 'poo juice' and how pooping makes us pretty. Watch my love sweet lovers. Watch, laugh and learn. I often have a tough time watching myself on TV- but this clip even had me giggling. The peeps at Cosmo did a superfantab job of this segment and now I will just wait by the phone to see if I get called for a magical third date with Wilder. This time, we were talking detoxing.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/01/31/wilder-returns-to-play-and-talk-deto/feed/ 8 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/11/22/vegan-hummus-recipe-miso-nutritional-yeast-bean-dip/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/11/22/vegan-hummus-recipe-miso-nutritional-yeast-bean-dip/#comments Mon, 22 Nov 2010 10:00:54 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=7272 Now, I’ll admit that this hummus looks a bit like poo. But so does re-fried beans and this is so much better, but tastes the same. I think. I don’t actually think I’ve ever had refried beans but you could definitely use this recipe in place of refried beans in your favourite layered dip or burrito. That’s right, we’re taking this miso hummus to mexico!]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/11/22/vegan-hummus-recipe-miso-nutritional-yeast-bean-dip/feed/ 13 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/09/08/recipe-edamame-hummus-sundried-tomatoes-healthy-homemade/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/09/08/recipe-edamame-hummus-sundried-tomatoes-healthy-homemade/#comments Wed, 08 Sep 2010 10:00:20 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=6321 Was I the last to know that edamame grow locally? I don’t ever remember seeing them at markets before and suddenly I see edamame and okra everywhere. Living alone, I sometimes have really odd meals and I can tell you with only a touch of shame and sprinkle of embarrassment I ate a massive plate of edamame for dinner. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/09/08/recipe-edamame-hummus-sundried-tomatoes-healthy-homemade/feed/ 8 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/09/01/easy-tomato-recipes-health-benefits-of-tomatoes/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/09/01/easy-tomato-recipes-health-benefits-of-tomatoes/#comments Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:00:25 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=6257 In case you haven’t noticed, or maybe have only been shopping at great big supermarkets where seasons don’t tend to exist, this is tomato season!]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/09/01/easy-tomato-recipes-health-benefits-of-tomatoes/feed/ 4 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/06/23/vegan-caesar-salad-tempeh-summer-bbq-recipe/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/06/23/vegan-caesar-salad-tempeh-summer-bbq-recipe/#comments Wed, 23 Jun 2010 10:01:57 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=5277 Contrary to popular belief, I am not a strict vegan. As my friend Elana, who was once macrobiotic and is now indulging in raw cheeses and fish says, “labels are for tin cans”. I agree. But I have my limits when it comes to eating foods that once had eyes.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/06/23/vegan-caesar-salad-tempeh-summer-bbq-recipe/feed/ 17 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/05/10/wild-leek-adventure-pesto/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/05/10/wild-leek-adventure-pesto/#comments Mon, 10 May 2010 10:00:35 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=4798 What fun we had last weekend, when we went away up north to my cottage to harvest some of Spring's best goodies. Of course, a first harvest of the season is not complete without wild leeks, also known as 'ramps'. This was our first foray into the land of wild leeks and was it ever exciting for two nerdy nutritionists! There is great power in the first fresh local foods of the season. These mighty little things are the first to spring forth from the earth after the deep freeze of Winter. And wouldn't you know it, they also provide so much of what our body needs to cleanse from the Winter build-up. One nutrient of note, is quercitin. You have heard of this before. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/05/10/wild-leek-adventure-pesto/feed/ 15 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/04/30/kale-chips-5-ways-and-weekend-brunch/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/04/30/kale-chips-5-ways-and-weekend-brunch/#comments Fri, 30 Apr 2010 10:00:20 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=4665 I have been totally obsessed with kale chips. It started up again after that event I went to a few weeks back and sampled some of the best Kale chips of my life. I have since been trying all kinds of different, delicious toppings and every single one has been a delicious hit. I have realized that you can pretty much put any thing on these awesome, dry them out and voila- you have the perfect crunchy delicious and oh so healthy substitute for chips. So consider this Way Two of Kale Chips 5 Ways. You can find Way One here and the rest will be following over the coming weeks. To tantalize your taste buds- we've got an Asian Macrobiotic Sesame chip, A Sour Cream and Onion (with neither sour cream, nor onion) and a Spicey Nacho Cheese (again- no nachos or cheese). And wow are they all fantastic and if you are free this Sunday, you can sample one of the many awesome varieties I have been coming up.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/04/30/kale-chips-5-ways-and-weekend-brunch/feed/ 13 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/04/14/sometimes-vegetables-look-like-penises/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/04/14/sometimes-vegetables-look-like-penises/#comments Wed, 14 Apr 2010 11:00:40 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=4533 5 Days Healing with Everyday Superfoods Challenge begins this Sunda, April 18th followed by 3 Day Green Smoothie Cleanse on April 23rd.

Chocolate will do that. The chemicals in chocolate as we know, make us feel just as we do when we are falling in love. And oh, how being in love is so very satisfying just like chocolate. Chocolate is so delicious in fact, as I once shared before, that more women would rather have chocolate than have sex. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/04/08/strawberries-and-love/feed/ 12 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/02/24/marinading-in-the-marinade/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/02/24/marinading-in-the-marinade/#comments Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:00:25 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=4018 Day 4 my plant eating monsters of 5 Days Vegan!
