Years ago, I saw a cartoon in a women’s magazine. In the frame were two girls aged about 5 or 6, facing each other. Girl One (self-satisfied smile on her face): My mommy lets me eat candy every day. Girl Two: (scowling): That’s not candy, stupid. That’s broccoli. Girl One (crushed): You mean. . . broccoli […]

Great Eats on the Road: It’s a Wonderful Town!
[“Hey, Mum, this is a really Big Apple!”] How did the HH and I end up in New York last weekend? Well, it all started last December, after the HH had a car accident. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the fender-bender, but that left my honey without a car. And since I’d been planning […]
Baked Sweet Potato Falafel
Do you believe in sharing your food? I don’t mean “sharing” in the (laudable) sense of offering your excess tomatoes to an elderly neighbor who can’t grow her own any more, or asking your single, cash-strapped nephew to your holiday feast, or donating part of your groceries to the local shelter; when I say “sharing,” what I mean is […]
No-Cook, Allergy-Friendly, Grain-Free Breakfast Porridge
[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).] […]
Grain-Free Pizza Crust
Some of you may recall that a while back, I was working on perfecting a grain-free, bean-based pizza crust. When I finally got the recipe just right, I was thrilled and posted a photo on Facebook. Today, I’m delighted to present the recipe in a guest post for Susan, blogger over at The Well-Seasoned Cook. Susan originated […]

Chickpea “Quizza”
[Delicious as a pizza–stellar as a quiche. This recipe has many talents!] Have you heard that Hugh Jackman, that alluring Aussie known best for his role as a latter day wolfman, is performing a one-man cabaret-style show here in Toronto right now? That’s right: Wolverine’s tricks span beyond giving manicurists nightmares or saving bald-headed professor-types from magnetized […]
Super Simple Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Fresh Favas (or Edamame)
This recipe will provide you with a quick, simple and tasty side dish or first course. Plus, bonus title alliteration! 😉 Living in a primarily Italian neighborhood has its advantages. I’ve learned how to grow tomatoes (of course, “knowing how” doesn’t necessarily guarantee success); that bocce ball is not (No, no, Signora, not at all!) the same as […]
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 […]
