This is Chuls' s (my 11-yr-old daughter's) favorite salad, as she states "a perfect finger food!" Thick matchstick slices of mango, jicama and cucumber tossed with a Pomegranate Cilantro dressing. My girls enjoy this as a snack, served alongside fish or tossed with spinach.…

When I grew up, nutrition was always as important to my mother as deliciousness. This is how my grandmother raised her and it’s the way I am raising my own kids.



Quinoa, an ancient grain native to Peru, is one of the most nutritious foods – there is a reason why it’s a staple in any health food store. We actually started having quinoa very young – when my siblings and I were babies, my mom used to give us quinoa…
