So much fun in the sun. And oh so much cooking of the local goodies. As always happens when I come back from an adventure, I have learned so much and now have so much goodness (or should I say, greatness!) to share. One of the sweetest things about coming to the island of Jamaica and staying in a private cottage as oppose to a massive resort, is that have to no choice but to eat only locally grown, market available food. I love going to the 'bend down market', appropriately named because you have to bend down to see the goods. I love the chaos and commotion and checking out the foods I have never seen before.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/12/13/pumpkin-coconut-curry-recipe/feed/ 19 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/09/17/how-to-sprout-sprouts-sprouting-from-seed/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/09/17/how-to-sprout-sprouts-sprouting-from-seed/#comments Fri, 17 Sep 2010 10:00:58 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=6517 Well isn't that video a blast from the past? Filmed nearly two years ago over a few days in my old kitchen with my un-sun-bleached hair, with plenty of morning-meghan-face to giggle at. This video has nearly hit the 10,000 views milestone and so I thought I would share it once again here as it is really pretty straightforward in terms of how easy it is to sprout your own sprouts.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/09/17/how-to-sprout-sprouts-sprouting-from-seed/feed/ 76 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/08/23/recipe-sweet-potato-fries-and-cheese-sauce-bbq-summer-recipe/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/08/23/recipe-sweet-potato-fries-and-cheese-sauce-bbq-summer-recipe/#comments Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:00:47 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=6157 One more summer weekend to go? Could this be? Just one more August weekend and then we wait nine months or so for summer to hit again?]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/08/23/recipe-sweet-potato-fries-and-cheese-sauce-bbq-summer-recipe/feed/ 21 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/02/10/okra-homa-i-do-love-you/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/02/10/okra-homa-i-do-love-you/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2010 12:00:03 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=3926 As I prepare for another deliciously delightful 5-Days Vegan that I hope you'll join me for on February 21st, I have also been venturing into the land of new vegetables. I suppose that's what travelling does to someone who is a nutrition nerdress like me (though I say that without judgment). Monday we talked eggplant, today, I am kicking it slimy style with okra. This is okara: Okra is a green vegetable that is mildly fuzzy on the outside and majorly slimy on the inside. As revolting as that unjust description may sound, don't judge a vegetable by its furry/slimyness and instead trust that 1) it IS delicious and 2) that slimyness is a little health bonus. Am I ever excited to share these little tidbits with you: * The superior-powered stylings of fiber found in okra helps stabilize blood sugar by slowing the rate at which it is absorbed. * Okra's mucilage (the slimy part) binds with cholesterol and bile acid carrying toxins that get dumped by our hard working liver and gets that shyte out.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/02/10/okra-homa-i-do-love-you/feed/ 21
