Hope you’ll join me over at The Balanced Platter today, where I’ll be talking about quick and easy (and delicious!) ways to incorporate more whole grains into your morning cereal. I love a good whole grain cereal–any time of year! 🙂 [Disclaimer: this post may contain affiliate links. If you buy using these links, at […]
Pick-Your-Own Gluten Free Pancakes*
May 8, 2010 by 41 Comments
*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
October 24, 2009 by 58 Comments
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 […]
Feeling Snacky: Crunchy Stalks and Branches
August 8, 2009 by 58 Comments
[Before I delve into today’s snack post, I want to send out a heartfelt “thank you” to each and every one of you who responded to my last post. I was bowled over by the outpouring of kindness and support that you folks displayed. And thanks to all of you who shared your own story or struggles with […]
Lucky Comestible 5 (3): Confetti Quinoa and Wild Rice Salad with Cilantro (or Parsley)
July 22, 2009 by 26 Comments
[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 fifth edition, I’m focusing on cilantro. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky […]
The Nerd Makes Good: A Double Ode to Okra*
March 14, 2009 by 38 Comments
* Or, Give Pods a Chance! [Okra pods, in the raw] I have a confession to make. I haven’t told you all about this yet because, quite frankly, I was afraid you’d reject me. Move that cursor elsewhere, and click. At best, roll your eyes. Maybe snort in disgust. Maybe gag, even. But I’ve decided it’s […]
Please Standby

I’m going to be dashing around town for the next couple of days, doing cooking classes (short notice, but if you’re in the Toronto area, I’ll be at the Bayview/Sheppard Loblaws tonight at 7:00–would love to meet you!), and then my friend Babe is coming to town tomorrow, so I won’t have much time for cooking […]
A Bowl Lotta Love
March 4, 2009 by 60 Comments
[Thanks to everyone who left such sweet comments and encouragement for the hellish week of marking! (And I know I still owe some of you emails. . . coming soon!) Some of you who are students noted that you’d be doing as much work on the other side of the red pen. Whether students, parents, […]
Last Minute Thanksgiving Ideas
November 26, 2008 by 11 Comments
I had intended a lovely post today, in honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving long weekend to the south of us. But time constraints (read: massive, unwieldly pile of essays and assignments to mark) have prevented me from following through. So I’ll just have to wait till the next batch of holidays in December to post […]
Quinoa, Roasted Beet and Walnut Salad
August 31, 2008 by 40 Comments
[Little aside that has nothing to do with the rest of this entry: while glancing at WordPress stats before writing this post, I just realized that my previous entry was number 200 on this blog! Where has the time gone?? I’m really amazed that I’ve written 200 whole blog entries–seems like just yesterday I started […]
