It’s a truism when discussing the era of flower children and Woodstock to say, “If you remember the ’60s, you probably weren’t there.” When it comes to the 1980s, however, those of us who lived through it are more likely to lament, “I remember it all–if only I could forget!” Still, the Era of All Things Excessive (also known […]

Lucky Comestible II (3): Quinoa-Oatmeal Croquettes
[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 second entry, I’m focusing on Quinoa. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky […]
Juicy Cuisine and Crunchy Granola
Part I: THE JUICE SEGMENT (feel free to skip to Part II) We’re having some down time today at the DDD household, as today is the first-ever Family Day holiday in Ontario (I’ve always thought it only civilized to have a day off in February–the gap between New Year’s and Easter/Passover is just too long). Everything government-related […]
My Mother’s Potato-Corn Chowder
“I’ve got to share this soup recipe!” was my first idea. After all, it’s been one of my favorites for (literally) several decades now. Then, quick on the heels of that thought was this one: “Hmmn. No, maybe not. Can’t use that one; too bland. Too boring. Too commonplace. Too–I don’t know–too beige.” And yet, I love that soup. […]
Comfort from the Cold: Spiced Brown Basmati Rice Pudding
Somewhere around the first week of December (either that or the 3rd day there’s snow on the ground, whichever comes first), I decide I’ve had enough of winter. Bah! Who needs lawns covered in a glistening, pristine blanket of white? Who needs billowy undulations of snow-covered hills along the roadside? Who needs that dainty spray […]
Tofu Quiche for Thirty
The weather continues to annoy me, what with all the grey and gloom and snow and slush. Too much shadow (and so I take umbrage at the weather. Bah.) Consequently, I wasn’t all too thrilled when I remembered that I had to drive about 40 minutes just to teach a cooking class this evening at a local […]
Quick and Easy Tofu Masala
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed today, what with an order for 56 frosted cupcakes due by noon, as well as an article on cooking with avocado expected by this afternoon. Yikes. Therefore, today’s Holidailies post will be short and sweet. Or, in this case, short and spicy. This recipe for Tofu Masala is quick and easy, […]
Sweet Potato and Carrot Casserole
Today is moving day! We are likely en route right now, between houses, stressing about whether the movers will break our fragile glassware, or whether all the boxes will arrive at their destination, or whether the stove will fit in the space that’s been left for it. In any case, I thought I’d leave a […]
Baked Oats
[There’s nothing like a steaming bowl of oatmeal for breakfast! These baked oats are vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg free, soy-free, nut-free and yeast-free. Suitable for Stage 3 and beyond on an anti-candida diet.] One of my all-time favorite breakfasts is baked oats. The recipe is adapted from the Moosewood Classics cookbook, but I’ve made […]
