Salads can easily be unsatisfying or leave you hungry. “My favorite go-to salad is my Eggs, Beans, and Greens Salad Bowl. McKel Kooienga, MS, RD, LDN, Author and Founder of Nutrition Stripped Your meals are about to get so much more green.ġ. Read on for some much-needed salad inspo. I quizzed some of my favorite nutritionists, doctors, and all-around wellness gurus for the salads that not only pack a nutritional punch but are also so good that they can’t get enough. Stedman Graham is the author of IDENTITY: Passport to Freedom.The actual key to sticking to a healthy lifestyle is to turn good-for-you foods into delicious meals that you’ll crave all the time (read: “salad pizza”). Oprah: Sometimes we're sitting here in beautiful California and Stedman's eating grits and catfish, and I'll say, "I do believe you're the only person in California who's having grits and catfish right now." Certainly in Montecito. Stedman: Your homemade blueberry pancakes are fantastic. Oprah: The rosemary rice was a hit! You just get fresh rosemary and clip it and stir it up in the rice. Oprah: Remember when I did the rosemary rice? I went to the garden and I picked herbs, and then I pulverized the herbs, and then I rubbed the herbs on the chicken, and then let it sit overnight, and then sautéed the chicken in a skillet with the herbs. Stedman: The best thing you made was when you marinated the chicken overnight-how'd you do that? Oprah: Thank you! Big time! Hey, honey, what do you think is the best thing I've ever made? Stedman: And all the work she does and the effort she puts into anything she does. She's just an exceptional cook and an exceptional person. She makes great eggs, she makes great steaks-I mean, you could go on and on and on. So when I'm sautéing the little scallions and I'm slicing the avocado and making sure-because he likes his tomatoes thin-that the tomatoes are perfectly thin, it'll all be done with love. I think anything that you do should be done with the utmost care-it's like giving a part of yourself. I've only made it for a couple of other people, so if you've had me make the Love Sandwich for you, you have to be somebody I really care about. It became the Love Sandwich because I first started making it just for Stedman. Oprah: One day there was some pepper Jack cheese in the refrigerator, and there was some turkey in there, and there were some avocados on the table. Anything she cooks I really enjoy eating, and I appreciate it very much. You put a lot of love in the work you do, and it crosses over into the food you make. Stedman: Chefs don't have anything on her. I tried ginger herb rice the other day because that's all I had. So it's gonna involve some kind of herb-basil is my favorite-and usually some kind of grain or pasta. It'll be based on what is here, and what is in the garden. I don't like looking at recipes, and even if I do use one, I will adjust it to whatever feels right to me. Oprah: I'm absolutely an improvisational cook-a makeshift cook. ![]() O: How would you describe yourself in the kitchen? So when Stedman and I are alone, I basically do all the cooking. Oprah: I've had chefs over the years who have come to work for us, and what we've learned is it's much easier for me to just do it myself on the weekends. To learn the true source of the Love Sandwich's irresistibility, read on. ![]() The next morning, Rori made another one, shown here. All that remained were a few scattered crumbs. And the Love Sandwich? Gobbled in the night by persons unknown. ![]() In the morning, the plate was still there. ![]() She placed it on a plate and left it in the kitchen. On the night before the shoot, Rori followed Oprah's recipe and made a beautifully grilled, heart-shaped stunner. That was a sweet touch that came from O food stylist Rori Trovato. Don't worry, you won't need heart-shaped bread. Knowing that Oprah delights in cooking-and by all accounts is quite fantastic at it-we asked her to share a few of her secrets, including the Love Sandwich. This is a lovely moment, one you might even call intimate-except for the 30-person camera crew surrounding them. It's a multilayered affair, rich with fresh tomato and avocado, dripping with melted cheese and sautéed scallions, anchored by savory smoked turkey. Inside, Oprah is making lunch for her longtime beau, Stedman Graham, expertly assembling his favorite sandwich from a recipe she created herself. The sun streams in through Oprah's kitchen windows birds chirp in the garden. Psst! Did you know it's Stedman's first time appearing on the cover of O?
