[Whole Grain Waffles from Good Morning!: Breakfasts without Gluten, Sugar, Eggs or Dairy] With all the chaos over my dad’s heart attack earlier this month, I’ve been a little distracted and just yesterday, I realized that I’d forgotten to mention a few things I wanted to tell you all about! So today’s post is dedicated […]

Kitchen Classics: Chickpea, Tomato and Potato Stew for Winter’s Reprise
What?? It’s winter? Again?? Okay, Mother Nature, this is really getting old. I mean, we’ve been tortured by suffering with enduring tolerating winter since October 21, 2010 (should I feel guilty that that’s my birthday?). Time for some warmer temps, dry streets, green buds poking their happy noses out of the ground. Time for some […]
Happy Hemp Two-Bite Brownies (Grain-Free, Sugar-Free, Vegan)*
* Or, You Put WHAT in Those Brownies? *Or, Cheech and Chong’s Favorite Dessert FIRST THINGS FIRST–A BIG “THANK YOU”: Before I get to all the “hemp in brownies” jokes (and you know that I will), I wanted to post a quick update about my absence this past week and express my thanks to all of you. […]
SOS Adzuki Beans: Adzuki Spread
If you are (or were) an English major in university–or even if you know someone who studied English–you are probably familiar with one of the most common themes in literature, “appearance versus reality.” You know the one: it’s the notion that things are not always what they seem to be on the surface, and the way we […]
March SOS Kitchen Challenge: Ingredient Reveal!
Merry March to you! A new month brings a new SOS Kitchen Challenge, the monthly recipe event hosted by Kim and me celebrating vegan, sugar-free, natural recipes using a featured ingredient. Rather than focus on something obvious like oats, cabbage, or potatoes this month (the blogosphere loves St. Patrick’s Day!), we’ve gone in a different direction entirely. This […]
SOS Stevia: The Roundup
Thanks to everyone who submitted a stevia-based recipe for February’s SOS Kitchen Challenge! As always, we received a stellar collection of recipes. Here’s the “Sweet”: Kim and I were blown away by the creativity in the “sweet” section of the event this past month. While I have added every single recipe to my “to try” […]
Flash in the Pan: Carrot Cake Smoothie & A Weekend Giveaway
[Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s “no fuss.” 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 simple to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] [THE GIVEAWAY […]
Classic Pasta Arrabiata
[Warning: Extra, extra, extra-long post. Feel free to portion it out in smaller doses. . . or simply take your time and revel in the sunshine.] [Nope, no alligators in this Florida body of water. (And no, that’s not the HH at the pool!)] Um, so, yes, I have been rather MIA the past week […]
SOS Stevia: Dairy Free, Sugar Free Coconut Ice Cream (No Ice Cream Maker Required)
I suppose anyone who devotes one third of their blog’s name to “dessert” must really love the sweet stuff. (Uh, yeah). A quick glance at my blog’s recipe index will reveal that, ACD be damned, I’m not willing to give up my sweet treats. You’ll also notice that stevia has been my savior ever since […]
SOS Coconut Oil: Roundup and a Winner!
Like the new logo? Kim designed it and I just love it! We thought it was time for an update, something a little more playful and fun to fit the spirit of the challenge. January’s Sweet or Savory Kitchen Challenge was an exciting one, featuring none other than coconut oil. Health promoting and versatile, coconut oil […]
