and she makes the most wonderful desserts. She made an outrageous

birthday cake for Marlie's first birthday. Everyone was jumping on

to eat later.

This week's menu:

MINESTRONE MISO SOUP SMALL___ LARGE___

A rich full bodied macrobiotic version of the Italian classic, using

with bite sized dices of carrot, celery, yellow onion, sweet and

fragrant fennel, bitter green liver cleansing escarole, brown rice

penne noodles, (the coolest little round, hollow noodles that allow

little items like beans to float through them!), flavorful and

decorative cremini mushrooms, energetically relaxing, cleansing

shiitake mushrooms, wakame sea vegetable, barley miso, and a

sprinkling of fresh green chlorophyll rich Italian parsley.

MILLET, TEMPEH, AND KABOCHA SQUASH STUFFING SMALL___ LARGE___

cooked with mineral rich kombu sea vegetable, cubes of protein rich

wild rice tempeh, sweet and juicy kernels of fresh corn, pancreas

Fresh ginger, shoyu soy sauce, immune system strengthening shiitake

mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, brilliant green, wild and bitter, good

for the liver rappini, beta carotene rich bright orange sweet

potatoes, delectable mineral rich brussel sprouts, and chewy pieces

of protein rich seitan garnished with fresh green chives create this

colorful and flavorful stir fry.

BROWN RICE PUDDING WITH APRICOT SAUCE SMALL___ LARGE___

rice syrup, pine nuts, cinnamon, and vanilla that is topped with a

lovely orange iron and mineral rich full of vitamin A and good for
