Mum’s Original Review and Giveaway
[Yes, these Raw Caramel Cupcakes with Banana-Cacao Frosting are bursting with superfoods ingredients!] As many of you know, I spend some quite a bit a crazy amount of time every day on twitter.

Faux Kombucha
[Our potluck salad feast!] Last week, I alluded to the annual potluck I host for my nutrition buddies. As it turned out, 2011 was the first time in eight years that I missed it (why thank you horrible flu, awful weather, and chaotic schedule with 200 student assignments to mark within one week). Needless to […]
Chocolate Chip Cheesecake-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

After spending the past three days with a miserable cold (damn you, recirculated airline air), I woke up today feeling marginally better […]

I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so simple to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] […]
Grain-Free and Green: Raw Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
[Regular raw cookie dough balls mixed with a few Irish-inclined ones (green courtesy of spirulina)]. No, it’s not your imagination; there has not been a single St. Patrick’s Day-themed recipe previously posted on this blog. It’s not that I’m opposed to them–after all, at least 50% of what I cook is green–it’s just that, since I […]
“It’s a Keeper” Butterscotch-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
[Note: this recipe is now available in my cookbook, Naturally Sweet and Gluten-Free, along with over 100 more refined sugar-free, gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free treats!] [photo: Celine Saki] When I first met the HH way back in 1997, he was dabbling in astrology. I don’t mean the kind of horoscopes you read in the daily newspaper or […]
