This is truly one delicious and nutritious dish. Quinoa is one of the few grains that can boast of being a complete protein. Sheet-pan roasting the veggies makes for a light, flavorful version of ratatouille, the classic French summer vegetable stew. Choose small, firm zucchini and the small, slender Asian eggplants if you can find them — they don’t need to be salted and sweated before cooking. If you like spicy food, swap the red pepper for a couple of dark green poblano peppers. For even cooking, cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces. As the seasons change, you can change up the roasted vegetables and herbs you use. It’ll always be good!

Tofu is a great shapeshifter ingredient. The flavor profile of this recipe is Mediterranean, which shows the adaptability of tofu outside of the usual Asian-inspired recipes. Spices and herbs are a great way to add phytonutrients to the diet and use less salt, while increasing flavor and supporting a healthy immune system. Cumin is rich in vitamins A and C, which make it a potent antioxidant that helps support optimal immune function and helps prevent cancer progression. Cilantro is a rich source of vitamin K and also anti-inflammatory thanks to its high phytonutrient content. Read more about phytonutrients on our blog.

We love the simplicity of Vietnamese food. Classic Pho is a particular favorite when feeling under the weather. This delicious vegan pho version is super easy to make, and is a great candidate for our homemade vegetable stock. If you use store bought, be aware that they all taste very different. To make sure the low sodium stock you’ve chosen has a flavor you like enough to drink on its own, buy some of the small 1 serving boxes that many brands make and taste test them to find your absolute fave. You’ll only have to do it once, and it’s really worth the trouble.

If you are one of those who crave spicy food during chemo this dish is for you. Although great year round as is, if it’s summer go ahead and add in some fresh basil the last minute or so of cooking.

F a decade, in blog posts and scientific papers and public talks, the psychologist Hal Herzog has questioned whether owning pets makes people happier and healthier. It is a lonely quest, convincing people that puppies and kittens may not actually be terrific for their physical and mental health. “When I talk to people about this,” Herzog recently said, “nobody believes me.” A prominent professor at a major public university once described him as “a super curmudgeon” who is, in effect, “trying to prove that apple pie causes cancer.”
