This is a vegetable version of the classic Thai Tom Yum soup. You can find lemongrass, lime leaves, and galangal (a close relative of ginger) at any Asian supermarket. If you can't find the lime leaves, you can add extra lime juice to taste, but do try to find the lime leaves because they make a big difference. It tastes just like my local Thai restaurant!

Coconut Date Bars
The on-the-go, travel-light snack bar. Derived from a famous raw food bar and the ultimate in 'foodie!' This is a great snack for the active lifestyle and impressive to hand out to others. As an outdoor professional I take these in the back country and they need not be refrigerated and give great energy. Cut into bars and enjoy or wrap individually for on the go.
Mai Tai Cocktail
This variation on the classic mai tai combines three kinds of rum with orgeat, orange liqueur, and lime juice for a taste of the Pacific islands!
Grilled Chicken Street Tacos
These chicken street tacos are easy to make with minimal cleanup. Grilling both the chicken and tortillas gives these tacos a nice, subtle smokiness. I like to double up the tortillas to make them easier to eat.
