TBT, baby!

One of the new directives we are taking to heart with our revamped nutritional plan is to not waste food. Whether it is leftovers, fresh fruits or vegetables nearing the end of their life span in the crisper, or sheer boredom, we are newly determined to use our food more thoroughly, more creatively, and not waste our resources.

Sweet potato and sea vegetable salad...

This salad is another favorite dish in our house, and has its roots in our macro food traditions and my efforts to make that cuisine as palatable and somewhat mainstream for my family. The original salad was simple: diced sweet potatoes, celery, and hijiki. The sea vegetables added some good nutrients and trace minerals, and an amazing little burst of contrast.
