[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).] Over the […]

Feeling Snacky: Crunchy Stalks and Branches
[Before I delve into today’s snack post, I want to send out a heartfelt “thank you” to each and every one of you who responded to my last post. I was bowled over by the outpouring of kindness and support that you folks displayed. And thanks to all of you who shared your own story or struggles with […]
Lucky Comestible 5 (5): “Ground” Tempeh in a Cilantro Curry Sauce
[I thought it would be fun to run a little series over here at DDD: I’ll profile one one of my favorite foods, or a food that I’ve recently discovered and enjoyed, over several days. For this fifth edition, I’m focusing on cilantro. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky […]

Seven Grain Dirty Rice and Beans
[Totally tangential rant: When I woke up this morning, I was sure my eyes were playing tricks on me–it is snowing outside! Snowing. BIG snow. As in, “little white flakes that fly across your field of vision.” As in, “icy and slushy and boots weather.” As in, “everything is coated with rime and appears opaque and goes crunch […]
Anti-Candida Breakfasts: What Do You Eat?
[If you’re looking for even more ACD-friendly breakfast foods, you might like my digital cookbook, Good Morning! Breakfasts, 2nd edition. It’s been updated to reflect the latest diet changes, and contains some recipes not available anywhere else. Take a peek and grab your copy here.] When I first began this round of the Anti-Candida Diet […]
Maple Mania I: Marvelous Maple-Flax Cookies
[Welcome to the new home of Diet, Dessert and Dogs! I’m still tweaking the format and layout of the blog, so please bear with me while I update some links, combine some page tabs, etc. It should all be up and running smoothly within the next week or so!] A few weeks ago, I was contacted […]
The Nerd Makes Good: A Double Ode to Okra*
* Or, Give Pods a Chance! [Okra pods, in the raw] I have a confession to make. I haven’t told you all about this yet because, quite frankly, I was afraid you’d reject me. Move that cursor elsewhere, and click. At best, roll your eyes. Maybe snort in disgust. Maybe gag, even. But I’ve decided it’s […]
Please Standby
I’m going to be dashing around town for the next couple of days, doing cooking classes (short notice, but if you’re in the Toronto area, I’ll be at the Bayview/Sheppard Loblaws tonight at 7:00–would love to meet you!), and then my friend Babe is coming to town tomorrow, so I won’t have much time for cooking […]
A Bowl Lotta Love
[Thanks to everyone who left such sweet comments and encouragement for the hellish week of marking! (And I know I still owe some of you emails. . . coming soon!) Some of you who are students noted that you’d be doing as much work on the other side of the red pen. Whether students, parents, […]
