During this month that was MoFo, I’ve been writing up weekly roundups at the end of each week to recap what transpired. As you can see, I missed this past weekend, what with exciting events (both the “exciting-scary” and “exciting-fun” categories) taking place between Thursday and Saturday. And since Vegan MoFo actually ends today, I […]

Borscht to Beet Stress*
*Okay, it’s a horrible pun. But I”m an English teacher. We’re genetically programmed to come up with groaners like that. [Sorry about the bad lighting. . . by the time I got this photo, the sun–and the HH’s car–were long gone.] Hope those of you who celebrated had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. And for the rest […]
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 […]
A New Kind of “Pizza”
Not your conventional pizza! Isn’t it gorgeous? I swear, I am in love with this “new” food, which is really a traditional Italian snack. I am betting you will love it, too. And as a bonus, it’s gluten free, vegan, grain free, sugar free and anti-candida (ACD) friendly. Hallelujah! If you follow me on twitter, […]
Biscuits in Need of Therapy
[This little Biscuit hates its mother.] I’ve been spoiled rotten the past week with my friend Sterlin in town visiting from England. We’ve seen each other several times and it’s been great getting together, gabbing on the phone, laughing and commiserating, just as if we were back in high school (oh, except that three decades have […]

It’s My Birthday. Have a Cigar
A very heartfelt “THANK YOU” to everyone who left birthday wishes on Facebook, twitter, and via email! I loved hearing from all of you, and your comments and good wishes made this birthday one of the best ever. So thanks, everyone, for making my day that much brighter! 😀 [Okay, so maybe mine look more […]
I’m Thankful for. . . Quick Cranberry-Apple Compote
Hope you all had a great weekend! Over here, it was Canadian Thanksgiving (and “Anti-Candida Thanksgiving,” all in one!). For a great tongue-in-cheek summary of the Canadian version of the holiday and how it came to be, take a look at Willie’s explanation, here. 😉 Rather than visit with my family in Montreal or head over to a friend’s […]
Some Thanksgiving Ideas. . .
