Instead of chickpeas, the base is black beans and the flavor profile is smoky, citrus-y, and fresh.

I am speaking amongst some amazingly passionate people and the day should be memorable and full of inspiration. Here is the <a href="http://tedxconejo.com/program/" target="_blank">program of speakers</a>.<br />
<br />
Although the event has been sold out with a huge waiting list since almost two weeks ago, I am thrilled to announce that the event will be livestreamed! Thus, if you <a href="http://tedxconejo.com/" target="_blank">click this link</a>, you can watch the entire day from the comfort of you home and all over the world! OR...you can watch right here via this feed below....<br />
<br />
I am scheduled to give my talk, <i>Breaking Bread,</i> at 4:35 pm PT, but the timing is imperfect, so check in earlier and stay longer if you want to hear me. I am very excited because this is the first time I am speaking about the global and personal impact of a plant-based diet and how every single bite matters for you and the rest of the world...I am extremely passionate about this topic as it drives every moment of my life. The theme is togetherness so my talk will tie in our diet to our interconnectivity with others. I hope you will stay tuned. I will also be posting the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/plantdietitian?feature=mhee" target="_blank">You Tube video</a> of my talk as soon as it is available.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your support...<br />

The first recipe I tried and loved from this latest gem was<b> <i>Sweet Potato-Spinach Soup</i></b>. It is the perfect blend of spicy and sweet, hearty and light. I ate the entire recipe in less than 24 hours...yes, it is <i>that </i>fabulous...and I am going to share it here with you...<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Serves 4 </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<b>2 tsp. neutral vegetable oil </b>(I omitted this, as per Robin's suggestion, and just brought in some of the broth earlier to saute with)<br />
<b>1 yellow onion, finely chopped</b><br />
<b>1 large sweet potato, diced</b><br />
<b>1 TB. grated fresh ginger</b><br />
<b>2 tsp. ground coriander</b><br />
<b>1/4 tsp. cayenne</b><br />
<b>1 (14-oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained</b><br />
<b>2 TB. soy sauce</b><br />
<b>1/3 cup creamy peanut butter</b><br />
<b>4 cups vegetable broth</b><br />
<b>Salt and freshly ground black pepper</b><br />
<b>1 1/2 cups unsweetened nondairy milk</b><br />
<b>4 cups baby spinach</b><br />
<b>1/4 cup chopped peanuts</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
Heat the oil (or broth) in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sweet potato. Cover and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, coriander, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne or to taste. Add the tomatoes and soy sauce.<br />
<br />
In a small bowl, combine, the peanut butter with 1 cup of the broth, stirring until smooth. Stir the peanut butter mixture into the soup, then add the remaining broth and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes,<br />
<br />
Stir in the nondairy milk and spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Serve hot, sprinkled with the chopped peanuts.<br />
<br />

Lindsay is also a consulting chef at <a href="http://www.lasamanna.com/web/omar/la_samanna_resort.jsp">La Samanna</a>.

<b>serves 2</b><br />
Sure canned refried beans are easy, but you just can't top the taste of homemade. The little effort required here is so worth it---these beans are fantastic!<br />
<br />
1 small onion, finely diced<br />
15-oz can pinto beans (undrained)<br />
1 tsp cumin<br />
1/2 tsp chili powder<br />
paprika<br />
<br />
Line a skillet with a thin layer of water and saute onion over high heat until translucent and most of the water has cooked off. Add cumin, chili powder and a few dashes of paprika, stirring to coat the onions. Add beans with their juices and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and mash beans well using a fork or potato masher. It will look very soupy, don't be alarmed. Crank the heat up to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes. If the bans start popping and splashing, cover for a few minutes, then uncover. Stir every minute or so, scraping the bottom to lift the beans. After 10 minutes the liquid should have significantly reduced. It may still be a little soupy, that is alright, it will thicken as it cools. However, if it's really soupy, cook longer. Add salt and pepper and taste, then serve.<br />

<b>Sweet Potato Dal</b><br />
<b>serves 2</b><br />
This soup is Dal-icious! It's so flavorful you'll want seconds, and thirds!<br />
<br />

1 small onion, finely chopped<br />
3 garlic cloves, minced<br />
red pepper flakes<br />
1/4 tsp turmeric<br />
1/4 tsp garam masala, plus extra<br />
1 cup vegetable broth, plus extra<br />
1/2 cup red lentils<br />
4 cups spinach, or more<br />
salt<br />
<br />
Dice sweet potato into small 1/2-inch cubes and set aside. Line a medium pot with a thin layer of water and saute onions and garlic for a minute. Add a pinch or two red pepper flakes and continue to cook until all the water has cooked off. Add turmeric, 1/4 tsp garam masala and stir to coat. Add 1 cup broth, uncooked lentils, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for a few minutes, about 5. Add sweet potatoes, bring to a boil again, and reduce to low and simmer, until lentils are fully cooked (they expand and the sauce thickens), about 5 minutes more. Check periodically to see if you need additional broth (I tend to add an extra 1/2 cup but it can vary). Once lentils are cooked and sweet potatoes are fork tender, taste, adding more garam masala as desired (I like to add another 1/4 tsp but some blends are stronger than others). Add spinach, continuing to stir until spinach cooks down and softens. Add salt to taste and serve.<br />

<b>makes 4</b><br />
I developed these burgers in a hotel room: they're quick, easy, and require very few ingredients. (In fact, except for the beans and seasoning packet, I sourced all the ingredients from the complimentary "breakfast bar). I make these burgers any time I need a super fast meal or I'm really low on ingredients.<br />
<br />
15-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed<br />
2 tbsp yellow mustard<br />
1 tsp onion powder (granulated)<br />
1 tsp garlic powder (granulated)<br />
1/3 cup instant oats<br />

<b>serves 2</b><br />
The slightly spicy orange sauce in his dish is one of my favorites. You can serve it with any greens you like or have on hand, but collard greens are my favorite to use. For a complete meal, serve over or tossed with noodles.<br />
<br />
1/3 cup water<br />
2 tbsp soy sauce<br />
2 tbsp minced fresh ginger<br />
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes<br />
1 tbsp orange marmalade or jam<br />
4 cups greens (any)<br />
<br />
Pour water, soy sauce, ginger, and red pepper flakes into a skillet. Turn heat to high and saute until the ginger is fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in marmalade and then add chopped greens. Reduce heat to medium and using tongs, turn greens into the sauce. This will help cook the greens down; stop when your greens are bright green and have softened. Serve.<br />
<br />
Chef's Note: Coked broccoli florets may be substituted for the greens. Toss cooked broccoli with the sauce once it's been warmed and serve.<br />

<b>makes 1 1/2 cups</b><br />
Good over greens, mashed potatoes, faux chicken---anything really. This is my latest go-to gravy.<br />
<br />
1/2 cup vegetable broth<br />
1/2 cup nondairy milk<br />
1 tbsp rubbed sage (not powdered)<br />
2 tbsp nutritional yeast<br />
2 tbsp white whole wheat flour<br />
1/4 tsp garlic powder (granulated)<br />
1/4 tsp onion powder (granulated)<br />
1/4 tsp liquid smoke<br />
dash paprika<br />
1 lemon wedge (juice of)<br />
pinch salt<br />
black or white pepper<br />
<br />
Whisk all ingredients together in a medium pot, taking care to rub the sage between your fingers to break it down in smaller bits, especially if your brand is a little rustic with bigger leaves and stick pieces (pull out those sticks if you can). Squeeze the juice out of your lemon wedge completely, and discard the rind. Bring gravy to near boil over high heat but just before it boils, immediately turn off the heat and remove the pot to a non-hot burner, stirring it. Taste, adding black or white pepper and salt as desired.<br />
<br />
Chef's Note: Brown rice flour may be substituted for a gluten-free option.<br />

This episode will show you how...and why! One tablespoon of oil contains 120 calories and 100% of those calories come from fa!. Plus, the amount of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) found in oil is minimal...especially when compared to the whole food version. But who needs oil when you can saute in water, vegetable broth, coconut water, juice, beer, or wine and never miss the flavor (or the fat)?!<br />

It is commonly agreed upon that a certain weight gain is expected between Halloween and New Years....upon which, the focus shifts from accumulating towards removing those excess pounds as a resolution for the new year. The average weight gain during the annual holiday season ranges from 5-10 pounds. If you fail to accommodate for these subtle additions to your body, you could pack on some serious poundage over the years and increase your risk of virtually all chronic diseases at your disposal. <div><br />

J. Morris Hicks wrote a fabulous blog delineating the details of the show on his site. To read it, click here: <a href="http://hpjmh.com/2011/10/30/oz-hits-a-home-run-with-julieanna-hever/">Healthy Eating Healthy World</a>. After Dr. Oz showed the massive beneficial results of putting 3 women on a whole food, plant-based diet for about 6 days, he had me explain how this is plausible in the real world. I explained how to appropriately and easily find protein, calcium, healthy fats, and carbs in the plant kingdom, all while improving your health. In the second segment, I demonstrate how to make 3 recipes from my book: <a href="http://toyourhealthnutrition.blogspot.com/2010/01/green-sludge-video-is-here.html"><i>It's Easy Being Green</i> Smoothie</a>, <i><a href="http://toyourhealthnutrition.blogspot.com/2010/01/noritos.html">Mexican Noritos</a></i>, and<i> <a href="http://toyourhealthnutrition.blogspot.com/2011/07/4th-of-july-chili.html">Beans and Greens Chili</a></i>. Overall it was an incredible experience...going to New York City, taping at 30 Rock, and meeting Dr. Oz and his incredible team. If you liked the show, <a href="http://www.doctoroz.com/contact">please write in to tell them here</a> because I would love to go back.<br />
