* Or, It’s a Privilege to Eat You (thanks, Whole Foods). Happy “Celebrating Our Country’s Freedom Day” to both Canadians and Americans (and anyone else who’d like to take part in the party!).** And before I forget (because I’m at that age when I do forget), let me also say “THANK YOU” to everyone for your […]

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 […]
Gastronomic Gifts VII: Chocolate Macaroons in a Flash
[There’s just nothing like a homemade gift for the holidays. This year, with the purse strings a little tighter than usual, I’m determined to make at least a few in my kitchen–and thought I’d share my ideas in case you’d like to partake, too. Here’s the last post in the series.] Can it be possible that […]
Two-Toned Latkes
[Latkes are great for Hanukkah, but this version is so yummy, you’ll want to eat them all year round. These Two Toned Potato Pancakes are vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg free, soy-free, nut-free and yeast-free. Suitable for Stage 2 and beyond on an anti-candida diet.] The weekend began like most other mornings: a wet, cold nose against […]
Flash in the Pan: “My Life in Balance” Buttery Spread
[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.”] What??? Another Flash in the Pan, back-to-back with the previous one? Honestly, I was working on a post about […]
Holiday Brunch-Worthy: Tofu Omelet with Pesto, Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms
Now, I realize I promised a light and not-too-filling recipe today, but before we get to that, I must share something very rich and decadent and–because I ate most of it in one sitting–rather filling: the Peppermint Ritter Sport bar I won (a while ago, now) in Amey’s contest! I received the bar in the mail a […]
Let Them Eat (Eggplant) Caviar
So, you may have heard: the economy is tanking. According to retailers, we’re spending less on gifts this holiday season than we did last year. We’re taking vacations at home. We’re economising on everything from groceries to toiletries, and people are learning how to darn socks again, bake from scratch again, or wash their own cars. […]
Chili to Last Through the Winter
The three of you who were reading my blog last year at this time may recall that I am not a fan of winter. “What?” the rest of you ask, “and you from Montreal?” Well, I’m here to tell you that being born in a certain place doesn’t automatically predispose one kindly toward the weather of […]
Don’t Mock (Tuna) Me: When “From Scratch” Disappoints
If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you know I’m a “from scratch” kind of gal. I mean, when you’ve been told you can’t eat anything processed, anything with additives, anything with coloring, anything with refined sweeteners or flours–basically, anything that’s not fresh from the vine or the ground–you learn to cook from […]
