"My 4-year-old son referred to it as 'the phenomenal noodle salad' and kept offering additional helpings to everyone at the table! I will definitely be making this again. :-)"

"Cooking for my family had become a chore. I was basically in a rut until I came across your site via the OCA. I have actually began enjoying cooking again. My kids are now even trying simple recipes on their own. I feel such a sense of satisfaction knowing I am preparing food that's nourishing and delicious. I have learned so much. Thank you, thank you :)"
-Kaylla
"I must tell you what an inspiration your blog and videos have been to me....and my kids. We love watching you and learning great tips."

"I have been cooking more. I made some really good fried tofu, delicious soba noodles, Bok Choy (from the collard greens vid), Blanched red cabbage, fried rice, some thing else I can't remember, and almost every day for breakfast I eat either quinoa or steel cut oats. Not only that my knowledge on food has increased 10 fold. All thanks to you. xo"

"Besides providing amazing how-to recipes on whole, organic foods, you weave a gentle little funny-family story-line throughout that always leaves me wanting more. I forward your site to friends with the spoiler, "pssst, bet you can't watch just one!" There's just nothing like your program anywhere!"

Nut BurgersReprinted from Feeding the Whole Family by Cynthia Lair (Sasquatch Books, 2008)
This delicious burger recipe will give you opportunity to pile up a bun with mustard, pickle, tomato or whatever and chow down without bothering a single cow. The nut and grain combination makes a complete protein, all you need is a vegetable soup or salad to make the meal complete. Try them with our Tomato Basil Soup or the Massaged Kale Salad.
¾ cup sunflower seeds
¾ cup walnuts
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 ½ cups cooked brown rice
1 small carrot (or ½ of a large one), grated finely
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
1-2 teaspoons ghee or butter
4 sprouted whole grain buns
Grind nuts and seeds to a fine meal in a small grinder or food processor. Place ground nuts in a bowl and add cumin, oregano, cayenne, garlic and salt; mix well. Fold in cooked brown rice. Add tomato sauce a little at a time until you get a stiff, but workable texture. Form mixture into patties with moist hands. If the mixture is not holding together, the nut grind wasn't fine enough. Put all of the mixture back into the food processor and pulse 3-4 times. That should do it. Refrigerate patties for a few hours if possible. Lightly coat a skillet with ghee and brown patties on both sides. Serve on whole grain buns with your favorite fixin's.
Preparation time: 15-20 minutes (without refrigeration time)
Makes 4 burgers
FOR BABIES 6 MONTHS & OLDER: Puree extra cooked brown rice with a little breast milk or water.

Hi! I love your cookbook and your videos! You are very motivating and I love the way you celebrate life and food.
I have a nutrition question. I'm getting ready to puree some broccoli with pear for my one year old son and I was wondering if broccoli florets are more nutritious than the stems or maybe there is no difference?
Thanks again for everything. Best wishes to you, your family, crew and staff. :)

Thanks Cyn for looking out for us veggi's. You are such a great cook and I love all your vegetarian recipes. I would like to suggest on your next book if you could include vegetarian and vegan alternative ingredients in your recipes.

Kris,
I think the florets would be easier to digest (hence more nutritious)

We have made this recipe several times now and it's the Real Deal It's delicious If you haven't purchased Ms. Lair's Feeding the Family, you should; it's available at Amazon.com (but probably also on her website?). This is a vegetarian burger that even a carnivore like me can love
