Pick-Your-Own Gluten Free Pancakes*
*Or, Thanks, Michael Ruhlman (for the rule, man). [Millet, buckwheat, oat and bean flour with chopped pears and cranberry compote] I’m all about freedom of choice. While my dad eats the identical breakfast every day**, I feel the need to rotate among cereal (hot or cold), omelets, baked sweet potato and almond sauce, apple and almond […]
Easy Breakfast “Sausage” Patties and Biscuits with Smoky Almond Gravy
What? Another breakfast recipe–and so soon, you say? Well, you can never have too much breakfast is what I say. I mean, breakfast really is the best repast of the trio of meals, isn’t it? To begin with, if it’s breakfast time, you’re probably rested. Your belly is primed and ready to accept food (after all, you have […]
Grain Free Lemony Almond Pancakes
[Looking for more candida-diet recipe inspiration? Get 100+ recipes plus diet and lifestyle guidelines in Living Candida-Free!] These days, I try to be a little nutty every day. Of course I don’t mean “nutty” as in “I missed my plane so I’m going to become a minor celebrity on YouTube” nutty. Or “I think I’ll switch careers at […]
The Biscuit and The Scramble (to Woo Your Rake)
The close friendship between my buddy Sterlin and me was soldered back in high school, when we first discovered that we were the only two girls in the entire school who had never had a boyfriend (well, I guess there was “BB,” too, but we figured that sleeping with the entire senior class had to count for something). […]
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 […]
Corn Crêpes with Quick Tomato Tracklement*
* [or Concasse, if you prefer the more conventional term. . . but I just loved the word “tracklement” ever since I read it on Lucy’s blog, and besides, “Tomato Tracklement” is just so much more alliterative.] Last weekend was our Canada Day holiday, and this year I learned an important lesson. No, it wasn’t “Canada […]
Spontaneous Carob and Date Pancakes
Thanks, everyone, for all your wonderfully supportive and encouraging comments about the osteopenia diagnosis. I’ve been boning up on the topic (sorry-ouch) and have some great recipe ideas to share in the next while (and even one today). I’ll also get to my responses asap. . . sorry I’ve fallen behind a bit! Last week, […]
Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free French Toast Souffle with Summer Berries
In my mind, here’s the perfect way to wake up on a Sunday morning: Outside, the weather is balmy. A mild breeze whispers through the slightly opened window, curtains undulating softly with each invisible breath. The sun makes its presence known through the diaphanous curtain as it tickles the pillows of our bed with little sparkles of laughing light. […]
Frugal Frittata
Whenever we visit my family in Montreal as we did this past weekend, I return to Toronto feeling a little discombobulated. Since I was a callow young’un when I moved away from home (at 17), I never really got to know La Belle Ville that well before I left, so I always feel like a tourist when […]
