Easy Dinner: Pyramid Style

Let’s face it. When it comes to dinner, we want it all: 

  • Easy
  • Delicious
  • Healthy

I’m no different, even though I’m a cookbook author with 10 books (soon-to-be 11!!) to my credit. Making dinner every night can be challenging.

Fortunately, Farmers’ Markets are now offering all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits. Cooking is a pleasure. So we invited Dr. Lilian Cheung, a nutritionist from the Harvard School of Public Health, to a Farmer’s Market and were inspired. Using the HSPH Food Pyramid and the newly designed USDA Plate (http://www.usdaplate.com), we brainstormed and came up with all kinds of quick, healthy Asian dishes.

Easy Dinner, Pyramid-Style

Let’s face it. When it comes to dinner, we want it all:

  • Easy
  • Delicious

I’m no different even though I’m a cookbook author with 10 books to my credit. Making dinner every night can be a drag.

Dr. Lillian Cheung, a nutritionist from the Harvard School of Public Health, loves to cook, and she knows what’s good for you. Lillian and I went to a Farmer’s Market and were inspired. Using the HSPH newly-designed Food Pyramid (you can actually understand it!), Lillian and I give different ideas for a great autumn menu.

Go to the Recipe section for

  • Cantonese-style Microwave-Steamed Halibut with Scallions and Ginger
  • Roasted Ratatouille with Zucchini, Eggplant, and Cherry Tomatoes (great for leftovers)
  • Roasted Brussels Sprouts
  • Herbal Brown Rice

For information on the newly formed HSPH Pyramid, go to the News Section.

Enjoy!
