[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).] Do you […]

Double Ginger Quinoa Scones
Seems we all focus on the “main event” meals during the holidays, poring over cookbooks or stressing about which dressing would be best with the tofurkey (okay, I know many of you don’t eat tofurkey–but it’s such a fun word to say, isn’t it?). But what about the meals after the big meals? What about […]
Festive Freebie V: I Simply Love These Bars!, Help Me Help, and a Winner from Last Week
[This year, I decided to offer a “Festive Freebies” series in which I give away some of my favorite food products. . . hand-picked by me! These are things I already love and actually eat (or use) regularly, and which I’d love to share with you. Here’s my fifth Festive Freebie–with a charitable twist. Click here […]
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 […]
SOS Sweet Potatoes: The Roundup
[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 […]
Protein-Rich Cranberry-Oat Smoothie
[This protein-rich cranberry-oat smoothie is quick and easy to make. It’s also vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg free, soy-free, nut-free, yeast-free, and low glycemic. Suitable for Stage 2 and beyond on an anti-candida diet.] I was feeling like oatmeal when I first got up today [groaner alert]–funny, I don’t look like oatmeal. . . well, actually, […]
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 […]

What better way to start this fine Tuesday morning than with chocolate? I’m popping in to tell you all that the Cuisine Camino Baking Kit winner has been selected. And the winner is: Number 133–Kristi! Here’s Kristi’s comment: Sugar cookies! Then our whole family decorates them. So much fun. Congratulations, Kristi! In order to claim […]
A (Very) Belated Birthday for DDD: Musings on Three Years of Blogging* and Vegan MoFo Roundup #3
Another week of Vegan MoFo is over–and I’m still standing (or, to be more precise, sitting here at my desk). I can hardly believe how quickly the past three weeks have whizzed by! I must admit, I am stretching more than culinary muscles with this event. My usual modus operandi for blog posts is to let […]
Chocolate Nut Bark
According to the media, we should all be making homemade gifts this year, what with the economy as bad as it is. True, many of us may find ourselves frugally filling jars with mom’s granola recipe; mixing up homemade hot chocolate and bagging it with ribbons; placing shortbread and gingersnaps toe to toe in cellophane-lined […]
