Homemade Edible Gifts
I thought this would be a perfect week to share some of my favorite recipes on the blog that would also make fantastic homemade–and edible–gifts. In my younger years, I made almost all of my gifts myself (edible or otherwise). Of course, the fact that I was a student living in penury (I won’t say I […]
Plumberry Sauce (or Jam!), a New Favorite at Thanksgiving
I was chatting yesterday with some online buddies about Canadian-vs-American Thanksgiving (I’d say the tacit consensus was that Americans make more of a fuss about it) and I admitted that, in the home of my childhood, we never actually celebrated T-Day. My memory about it is fuzzy (who am I kidding? My memory about everything is fuzzy these […]
Spiced Pumpkin Cream Cheese Spread
Ah, nothing like a short work week, is there? Hope those of you who celebrated on Monday had a great Thanksgiving! (And hope everyone else had a good weekend, short as it was!). I can’t wait to tell you all about the phenomenal Thanksgiving Vegan Cassoulet I made for The HH and me, or the […]

Flash in the Pan: Chocolate Bean Butter
[Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s quick and easy–no fuss. 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).] […]
Glazed Tofu Cutlets with Ginger-Cilantro Pesto
Welcome back, Americans! Hope you had a great July 4th weekend. And hello again, rest of the world! 🙂 As promised last time, today I’m going to share the main course that the HH and I enjoyed a few nights ago. Because I know that many of you are only today back at work, and perhaps […]
Raw Chocolate Almond Butter
[A favorite raw breakfast: chocolate almond spread on apple slices.] Remember the days when there was only one kind of nut butter–and nobody was allergic to it? I think I ate peanut butter almost every day until my late 30s. As a kid, I slathered it on saltines alongside chocolate milk during cartoon-drenched Saturday mornings; I ate […]
Muddy Caesar (Salad, that Is)
Ah, summer. How I remember the long, languid, carefree days infused with sunshine. The kind of brightness that shimmers in mid-afternoon air, making the trees, the leaves, even the parked cars look as if they’re trembling with sheer joy. Easy living, with no boots or jackets or scarves or sweaters. Being able to think, “oh, I forgot to buy lemons,” […]
