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 […]

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.

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 […]

Thank you, Ellen! 😀 ] Sometimes, you just want to eat something now. I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in […]
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.

The sun makes its presence known through the diaphanous curtain as it tickles the pillows of our bed with little sparkles of laughing light. […]

Moroccan Spiced Tomato Soup
As promised, I’m going to supply the recipes from the cooking class I taught last week—my last ever in my home (sniff!). Now, on to today’s NAG-friendly recipe. . . . This recipe for Moroccan Spiced Tomato Soup was originally given to me by a former office mate, who eventually became a close friend. At the […]
