Real Ramen Soup
“As a person living in Japan, I feel sad at how ramen is treated in the west. It is considered the epitome of junk food; a greasy, carcinogenic mess, lacking in any nutrients whatsoever and only to be eaten as a last resort or as a college student… Here in its home country, ramen is, if not the healthiest thing around, at least something that you can eat every day and not get sick....

green smoothies
pastas
salad

Green Rice
I add spinach to many of my dishes. I should try this one.
Article from the NY Times by Martha Rose Shulman
Green rice — arroz verde — is a great way to get your kids to eat spinach without realizing it. Serve this rice with just about anything — it has a fresh, herbal flavor. You can make the dish with brown rice, but it won’t have the usual vivid green color. If you use basmati, you’ll...

What About Grass-fed Beef?
This article is available here at the Food Revolution site.
Cows, sheep, and other grazing animals are endowed with the ability to convert grasses, which those of us who possess only one stomach cannot digest, into food that we can digest. They can do this because they are ruminants, which is to say that they possess a rumen, a 45 or so gallon (in the case of cows) fermentation tank in...

Steve Ells: The Man Behind Chipotle!- A Must Read
It’s a classic variation of the American success story: An aspiring entrepreneur starts a hole-in-the-wall restaurant serving food that’s quick and unpretentious. Pretty soon, he starts a second restaurant, and then a third. Investors flock to the company, attracted to the owner’s relentlessly perfectionist style. Before long, identical versions of that hole-in-the-wall have...
