delicious seasonal eats
What seems like ages ago, I made a recipe for Blood Orange Cream Cookies based on a recipe by chef/photographer extraordinaire Aran Goyoaga. It really was a lifetime ago! Just looking at the old blog post, I am brought back in time. I took the photos in the spare bedroom we used as an office in […]
Hello, friends! It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted a recipe. It’s been a whirlwind year that I will tell you about later. For now, I want to share this new recipe for Fresh Autumn Glory® Apple Chutney that I created for one of my very favorite brands, SuperFresh Growers. Last fall I was invited to […]
I’ve partnered with Pamela’s Products for this holiday cookie recipe. Friends, meet your new favorite holiday cookie – Egg Nog Spiced Gluten-Free Slice and Bake Cookies. It’s that time of year again when we fill our cupboards and fridges with baking essentials. For me that always includes several bags of Pamela’s All-Purpose Gluten-Free Artisan Flour […]
These Coconut Quinoa Bowls will have your tastebuds rocking out. Topped with tender-crisp roasted broccoli and yummy tahini sauce for a delicious, healthy meal. Hallelujah, it’s February! That means we’re almost through the harshest part of winter. Spring is on the horizon! February can be a little sparse produce-wise, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t […]
Comforting, nourishing, and healthy as can be, this Winter Cauliflower Rice Bowl is full of mouthwatering flavors, textures, and seasonal ingredients. Over the past year or so, I’ve become the hugest fan of “bowls.” I think it all kind of started with my love affair with Chipotle. I used to be like, “What’s the deal […]
This Vegan Pumpkin Black Bean and Lentil Chili is both filling and nourishing. Cook up a big pot to enjoy by the bowl full on a cold day or use in other favorite ways – over a baked potato, with nachos, as a base for tamale pie, or for game day eats. Ah, chili. Its […]
There’s a bit of story and history behind these Gluten-Free Peppermint Bark Brownies… I first made Peppermint Bark Brownies way back in 2006 in the early days of Cafe Johnsonia. Back then CJ was called Just Recipes. That was a very long time ago in blog years! The idea for the brownies came from my […]
This toffee recipe is made with real butter, maple syrup, and pecans for an irresistible salty-sweet treat. As I know is true for many home cooks, the holidays are a favorite time of year. I learned how to make homemade candy and other treats by watching my mom and scouring her cookbooks and handwritten recipe […]
This Persimmon Ice Cream starts with slow roasted persimmons. No sugar added, 100% fruit-sweetened. Last year I took the plunge and decided to finally try persimmons. I had bought them many times but they were only used for decoration, or sat on my counter while I tried to decide what to do with them. And […]
It’s finally here! Today’s the day when Kelly and I are sharing our full PLANTSGIVING menu! All week we’ve been sharing some of the recipes, and now it’s time for our showstoppers. I’ve been incredibly excited to tell you all about our dinner. The entire meal was plant-based (vegan) and gluten-free. I’m still dreaming about […]
