I’ve never been what I’d call a “good” flirt. In high school, I hung out with the nerdy crowd (hard to believe, I know!), so there wasn’t really any opportunity to flirt. Then, when I was finally old enough to attract the opposite sex in my 20s, it seemed too late to get the hang of […]

Flash in the Pan: Baked Beans Nested on Greens
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.”] [Oh, and before I continue: notice the photo? Notice anything different? Um, like, actual detail on the food? Well, […]
First Date Pasta
[Whether it’s a first date or a 10th anniversary dinner, you’ll love this savory, flavorful pasta dish. It’s vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg free, soy-free, optionally nut-free, optionally yeast-free, and low glycemic. Suitable for Stage 2 and beyond on an anti-candida diet.] It’s been a whirlwind weekend, first, with a birthday dinner (THANKS for all […]
Lucky Comestible 4(5): Raspberry Coconut Coffee Cake
[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 fourth edition, I’m focusing on Coconut. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky comestible. This […]

Blast from the Past: Barley-Hazelnut Salad
As someone who considers herself an unabashed fan (and follower) of popular culture, I love trend-watching (and also soap opera-watching, and celebrity-watching, and style-watching. . . plus reading trashy magazines at the supermarket checkout line. . . I could go on, but really, haven’t I embarassed myself enough for one day?) Over the years, I’ve […]
Holiday Bundt Apple Cake
[Looking for the revamped gluten-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free, egg-free version? It’s here.] One of the shared quirks of most Canadians is our propensity to focus on the weather (well, that, and our internationally-recognized, world-renowned politeness. Oh, but please do excuse me for interrupting that train of thought with a parenthesis–how very rude! I do apologize). We […]
Pear and Parsnip Soup
It seems like another lifetime now, but the year after my starter marriage ended, I lived in a townhouse with my dear friend Gemini I. Shortly after the furniture was placed and the boxes unpacked, we began to negotiate the rules of housework, grocery shopping, and TV usage when we got to chatting about food. I remember […]
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 […]
