This dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free and sugar-free strawberry ice cream is fresh, rich, and brilliantly pink. It’s also suitable for stage 2 and beyond on an anti-candida diet. What’s not to love? You know how there are foods (and drinks) you always thought you didn’t like because you hated them as a child? And then, when […]

Creamy and Comforting Chickpea Pasta Casserole
These days my cooking ventures are entirely vegan and gluten-free, based on whole foods and as healthy as I can make them. Even though my desserts taste decadent, they’re all made with natural sweeteners (and sometimes, even vegetables!); my main dishes are plant-based and lower fat, offering up antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and high fiber. But […]
Collard-Wrapped Yellow Rice and Black Bean Enchiladas
As promised yesterday, I’ve got an amazing recipe for you today from Nava Atlas’s Wild About Greens (to read my interview with Nava and learn more about the book, go here).

Outrageously Decadent Chocolate-Hazelnut Ice Cream (No Ice Cream Maker Required!)

SOS Apples: Greens with Roasted Beet, Apple and Almond Feta
After the excesses** of the recent long weekend here in Toronto, I felt the need for something more ascetic. I was craving something light, clean and (yes) green: a salad! And I knew that my salad had to contain apple. I got this recipe from a cookbook I’ve had for years–a decade, almost–and from which I have never […]
Pick-Your-Own Gluten Free Pancakes*
*Or, Thanks, Michael Ruhlman (for the rule, man). [Millet, buckwheat, oat and bean flour with chopped pears and cranberry compote] I’m all about freedom of choice. While my dad eats the identical breakfast every day**, I feel the need to rotate among cereal (hot or cold), omelets, baked sweet potato and almond sauce, apple and almond […]
