I first learned about posole when I read “Born to Run”. I had never heard of it, but I was interested to eat it. I was inspired to make this after reading several different recipes for Posole Soup online. It is rich and savory with an impressive amount of flavor. I served it with homemade baked corn tortilla chips. Yum!
Scalloped Potatoes
Sometimes you just need something warm and savory. These scalloped potatoes hit the spot. Light and creamy and full of flavor. It won’t take long to make a batch. Give it a try.
Southwestern Rice and Beans
I like simple to make and tasty food. This dish is a favorite at my house because it meets both of those conditions. It takes less than five minutes of prep time. This time I modified my recipe for Easy Southwestern Rice by adding one 15oz can of rinsed pinto beans. Otherwise the recipe is the same. Click on the link to see the full recipe.
Dr T. Colin Campbell at TEDxEast
A couple of you expressed interest in my class at eCornell on the fundamentals of nutrition that I mentioned in my previous post. I’ve finished the first few sections, and I am enjoying it.
The video below was mentioned as extra material. Since it is on YouTube, I can share it with you! It is a very summarized version of the first few modules of the course - several hours of material in less than twenty minutes.
Enjoy!

Certificate in Plant Based Nutrition
Today, I start the first of three courses at eCornell: TCC501 Nutrition Fundamentals with the goal of completing a certificate in plant based nutrition.
They are all online courses, and I hope to complete one per month for the next three months. While they have no direct relation to my job or career, I hope they will make me more informed.
Nutrition Fundamentals focuses on the following topics:
- State of Health
- Protein, A Revered Nutrient
- The China Project
- Nutrient Fundamentals I
- Nutrient Fundamentals II
- Fat, A Less Revered Nutrient
I’m excited to start. I’ll report back later with my thoughts on the course and eventually the certificate.
Vegan food at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD)
My wife and I recently found ourselves with a few hours to kill and a fierce appetite while waiting to catch a flight at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD). We spent some time wandering around and came up with two options for tasty food. There may be more, but we quit looking after finding these two.
JezRipe Gelato
I have eaten a lot of frozen treats in my time, and quite a few of them vegan. I was surprised and excited when I found JezRipe Gelato on a recent trip to Malaysia. It is made locally in Malaysia from fresh fruits and other ingredients sourced from Italy. It is delicious. They have many flavors including: durian, mango, strawberry, passion fruit, coconut, lychee, peach, lemon, dragon fruit, banana, orange, kiwi, pineapple, papaya, jack fruit, watermelon, chocolate, and vanilla.
