One of my family’s favorite recipes (ever) is one that I made from In The Small Kitchen, a cookbook I reviewed last year–Baked Provencal Chicken. It combines dates, vinegar, herbs, tomatoes and lots of garlic. The sauce is intoxicating. I didn’t want to try it with tofu. It didn’t seem quite right. I had this […]
Gluten-Free Vegan Linzer Cookies
Linzer cookies are a holiday favorite. These Gluten-Free Vegan Linzer Cookies are as good as the original. Fill them with your favorite jam or chocolate hazelnut spread. I had so much fun making these Gluten-Free Vegan Linzer Cookies! Three years ago when I was baking with the Tuesdays With Dorie group, I made Dorie’s lovely […]
How To: Making Authentic Swedish Meatballs
I originally published this four years ago. (!) And it remains one of the most popular posts on this site. Also, it’s still one of my family’s favorite recipes. I still make the meatballs the same way. The kids eat them as fast I put them on their plates. Love all around. I’ve kept the […]
Oven Baked Potato Chips with Kale-Lemon Pesto for The Super Bowl
Hell has frozen over. I’m posting a recipe for Super Bowl Sunday. I honestly could not tell you who is playing and until Tuesday when I Googled it, I had no idea it was this Sunday. (Does that make you love or hate me a little more? I still don’t know who’s playing.) I whipped […]
Minted Grapefruit Sorbet
Friends, this stuff is it. My husband, bless his disbelieving heart, raised his eyebrows at the thought of this Minted Grapefruit Sorbet. I’m sure he was thinking (or maybe it’s because he’s said this before), “Why can’t we just eat the fruit? Why does everything have to be turned into ice cream?” My answer is […]
Butternut Squash Bake with Cranberries and Apples
This Butternut Squash Bake with Cranberries and Apples wants to be the star of your Thanksgiving or holiday table. Loaded with seasonal flavors, it’s sure to be a hit with one and all. Awhile back I was part of a cooking club that met monthly. It was such a fun group and everyone always went all […]
Smoky Black Bean Soup
I’ve been attempting to be more organized when it comes to cooking. I’m making beans in the slow cooker and freezing them for later. I’m actually making and sticking to grocery lists. The leafy greens are being used and not going to waste as I forget they are in my fridge…does that ever happen to […]
Quinoa Salad Soft Tacos (Vegan and Gluten-Free)
I love the beginning of a New Year. Hello, 2012. I hope you’re good to us. This year I have made a few goals. The first one being: Simplify. And that means I’ve shortened my list to just a few goals instead of a laundry list. Simplicity is something I’ve been craving. In my home, […]
Vegan, Gluten-Free Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies
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 […]
Eat Vegan On $4 a Day: Millet Crunch
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. […]
