delicious seasonal eats
Pfeffernusse cookies are a family favorite recipe lightly adapted from my very favorite cookbook, Joy of Cooking. The pfeffernusse are lightly sweet, spicy, chewy, and utterly delicious. Christmas cookies are wonderful, aren’t they? Baking favorite recipes together is one of my very favorite parts of the holidays. My husband is the first one who introduced […]
My favorite Christmas cookies are Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies from Martha Stewart. I played around to make them gluten-free and vegan. Some of you, I’m sure, don’t think it’s possible to make delicious vegan, GF cookies. These are the cookies that will shatter that. I’ll admit I haven’t adapted some recipes successfully. But this one […]
A few weeks before Thanksgiving I gave up gluten again. I was really wondering if I could be strong enough to resist all of my favorite Thanksgiving fixin’s that weren’t GF. I made a plan so it would be easier to be good. I looked for recipes on my favorite GF blogs so that I […]
Dosas with Potato Chickpea Masala, Palak Daal, Basmati Rice This is my new favorite condiment–Hot Cilantro Chutney from Bollywood Chutneys. The Johar family began packaging and selling the Hot Cilanto Chutney last year and have plans for five other chutneys. (I can’t wait!) They sent me an e-mail wondering if I’d be interested in trying […]
A few months ago I received Eat Vegan On $4 A Day by Ellen Jaffe Jones to review. I was excited to read it because I have been trying to get back to better eating habits and we are on an incredibly tight budget. Win-win. I opened the package right away and thumbed through it. […]
Smoothies have become my breakfast of choice most days. I have been so busy with various things that drinking my breakfast while I’m working has been a wonderful solution. If I don’t start the day out with a good breakfast, it’s almost certain the day won’t go as well. See? Your mom was right! This […]
Is it really October 19th?! Where is October going? I’ve been super busy with work and kids and other things. So I haven’t been over here much. This is what I’ve been up to while I’ve been away from you, Dear Readers. (I miss you!) *Watching the mountains turn gorgeous shades of orange, red, and […]
I have been soooo busy the last few weeks. I apologize, but I am yet again directing you elsewhere for a recipe. Hopefully things will slow down a little and I’ll be back with more consistent posts. Salad Nicoise? Do you want some? I think it’s the perfect end-of-summer salad, considering we are now officially […]
I’m over at Make and Takes today with my new favorite peach ice cream recipe. Head on over. :)
Fennel became one of my favorite vegetables a few years ago. We like to buy a bulb or two every so often as a special treat. It’s not always easy to find at the grocery stores here in Utah like it was when we lived in New York. Sadly, all the fennel I planted drowned […]
