Tofu Mole: Authentically Delicious
Before I even think about sharing this recipe (see, I’m learning: some things are more important than food!), I want to send out a heartfelt “thank you” to everyone who left comments on my previous post and even to those who read it and chose not to comment. This is why I love the food […]
Double Ginger Quinoa Scones
Seems we all focus on the “main event” meals during the holidays, poring over cookbooks or stressing about which dressing would be best with the tofurkey (okay, I know many of you don’t eat tofurkey–but it’s such a fun word to say, isn’t it?). But what about the meals after the big meals? What about […]
Flash in the Pan: Sugar Free Oven Dried Cranberries
[Sometimes, you just want to eat something now. 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 easy to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] [Here’s how […]
SOS: Sweet or Savory Sweet Potato Spread
[Fantastically versatile, high fiber and low(er) fat. . . savory spread, here on a raw veggie cracker.] It was while lunching with a friend in New York last weekend that I first had the inspiration for collard rolls with sweet potato spread. Okay, maybe it wasn’t exactly while we were lunching, but more like a day […]
Outrageously Decadent Chocolate-Hazelnut Ice Cream (No Ice Cream Maker Required!)
* Or, How I Waited Until the Very Last Possible Moment to Make Ice Cream There are some people (I won’t mention any names) who simply like to leave things to the last minute. Like, for instance, when they (who shall not be named) promise to mow the lawn over the weekend, and then suddenly […]
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 […]
Grilled Vegetable Salad with Fresh Tarragon Dressing
Remember that first blush of new love, those early days when you were still keen to learn every little thing about your sweetheart? A casual glance around the back yard revealed the emerald hue of the grass, the red of the tomato plants, the coral of the peonies all mysteriously so much sharper and more intense, as if your world […]
Cabbage (or Broccoli) Delight
[Ah, if only I were truly still enjoying my salad days . . . in reality, I am firmly ensconced smack-dab in the middle of my “main course” days. But you can enjoy this salad at any age!] Now that summer is undeniably underway in these parts (nothing spells “summer” quite like a week of temperatures soaring beyond 33C/92F), heavy duty […]
Sugar-free, Dairy-free, Candida-friendly “Notella” (Chocolate Hazelnut Spread)
[Just look at that icy, smooth surface. . . dig in!] The Nutty Part: Ever since I created that Walnut-Cacao Nib Butter a while back, I’ve gone all-out nutty. Seems a day cannot go by without my consuming some form of nut butter. I had already been enjoying nuts on this ACD (one of the […]
