Who’s ready to celebrate? With all of my 175 students’ assignments, exams and final marks finally submitted–I am now officially on holidays until 2011–whoo hoo! That makes me one very celebratory gal. Par-tay, I say! And how about having everything all ready to start cooking my big holiday meal? Um, no. (Insert sheepish expression here). “Mum, did […]

Rutabaga Gratin
My recipe this week, surprisingly, involves rutabaga. (It’s only a surprise, really, if you know my history with this gnarly root–but we’ve now gotten past our differences, the ‘Baga and I). It all started in the Garden of Eden. Well, okay, not literally, but it began with the promise of a portrait. And before that, it had its […]

[PLEASE NOTE: If you participated this month and didn’t see a comment from me, it’s not that I didn’t try. For some bizarre reason, WordPress is now tossing all of my comments into spam. If I usually comment on your blog and you haven’t seen any from me lately, please check the spam comments and […]
Zucchini Fritters (Vegan, Grain-free, Candida Diet)
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 […]

[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).] So, are […]

Some Thanksgiving Ideas. . .

Kim from Affairs of Living (my challenge co-host) and I received almost 40 recipe submissions from readers all over the globe, a wide variety of sweet and savory dishes that tempted our tastebuds and got […]
Zucchini Pie–Yeast Free and Anti Candida Friendly
[Before I launch into today’s post, I wanted to thank everyone for their kind wishes for poor, accident-prone Elsie! Our Number One* Girl is doing much better, thanks–still limping a little, but infinitely less than that first scary evening. While her gait has improved, her mood hasn’t quite, as she has to stay behind with boring […]
