Not barbecued on a grill, just barbecue-flavored and easy to make in the oven!
Jeremy’s Breakfast Pitas
This is the kind of hearty breakfast food that, with some fruit and coffee, gives you steady energy for many hours. It's pretty good for lunch or dinner, too!
Pumpkin Snack
This tastes like a dessert but is loaded with Vitamin A, plus significant fiber and iron!
Becca’s Broccoli Casserole
We love broccoli but aren't so crazy about the typical broccoli casserole that contains scary "cheese food" and such, so I came up with this recipe. It's a tasty way to turn leftover rice into something completely different, and I bet you could use other cooked grains if that's what you happen to have on hand.
Guacamole
Why buy ready-made guacamole when it's so easy to make your own? It usually costs less, too. Guacamole is a popular chip dip and also is delicious as a topping on burritos, sandwiches, and salads.
Cinnamon Apples
This is a great way to use up apples that are too old to eat raw. Try it alone or as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, oatmeal, or cold cereal.
Egg Drop Soup
Here's a way to clear your sinuses and get some protein when you're too sick to eat much. It's also a good appetizer for a Chinese-style meal.
Teriyaki Tofu
Excellent over rice or soba noodles with a side dish of snow peas or broccoli.
Bean Burritos
Make your own frozen burritos!
Sex Myths and Facts
In college I met many highly intelligent people who believed some inaccurate things about sex. Here are a few examples.
Camp Wah-Shah-She Cake
This combination of cake mix and canned pie filling is an ideal thing to bake when you don't have access to a fully equipped kitchen with an assortment of "from scratch" ingredients.
Lunchbox Nachos
This is a quick, easy way to make several days' worth of high-fiber, high-protein lunches to take to work or school. Of course, you could eat them at home instead.
Beans & Rice
This is our basic "Mexican food" recipe. It is very flexible and reheats very well. You can use leftover beans, leftover rice, or any appropriate leftover vegetables you happen to have.
Marinara Sauce
This recipe will save you money compared to buying prepared sauce for your spaghetti or pizza, and it's healthier than most sauces you can buy.
Fried Rice
This is our version of a traditional Chinese way to use up leftovers!
How Fear Handicaps Feminism
Women will not be equal until we are not afraid. Giving women options--making it possible for us to hold powerful jobs, to play sports, to exercise the same legal rights as men--is only part of the battle. The rest is getting women to feel that it's okay for us to do these things. The barriers we have to overcome are not only other people's prejudices but also our own.
Becca’s Pasta Salad
This is an easy way to get your vegetables, and it reheats well in a microwave.
The Evolution of an Environmentalist
No matter how strongly you feel you should do your part to save the planet, it can be difficult to change your lifestyle. We recommend a gradual approach: Do one new environmentally-friendly thing every few months. This gives you time to get used to each change and incorporate it into your daily life. As an example, here's a list of changes I've made in my own life.
Earth Day
Earth Day is an opportunity to think about how you've treated the earth (and how the earth has treated you) in the past year, and to strive to improve that relationship. Earth Day is a great opportunity to commit yourself to positive change.
