[Smooth, creamy. . . and oh so easy!] I’m so glad it’s ice cream season again, aren’t you? Not because it coincides with climbing temperatures (though the 25C (78F) and sunny days are certainly welcome). Not because it means the HH and I can bring The Girls down to the Beaches for lakeside walks (“We […]

Grilled Romaine with Sweet and Smoky Dressing–and Sayonara, Dole Summit
Along with my final recap of the Dole Summit festivities, I decided to share this Grilled Romaine with Sweet and Smoky Dressing recipe today because, well, I’ve been pouting about it for days now (which can really make your lips tired after the first 7 or so hours). Okay, so I haven’t really been pouting […]
Chocolate Hazelnut Breakfast Smoothie
I know I promised a final installment to the Dole Summit recaps (and I’ll be posting that one next), but I just had to share this amazing smoothie that I guzzled created this morning! After spending the past three days with a miserable cold (damn you, recirculated airline air), I woke up today feeling marginally better […]
Salad Squared at the Dole Summit: Salad Samplings, Salad Ballet and Salad Recipe
[My own creation, inspired by our group’s favorite sample salad. See recipe, below.] After a whirlwind three days at the Dole Salad Summit, I finally woke up yesterday in my own bed. Glancing out the window, it seemed to me that something was a little “off”: the sky outside looked just a little little […]

Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] […]
Quick and Easy, High Protein, Single-Serve Breakfast Pancakes (Gluten Free; Dairy Free; Egg Free; Sugar Free; Easily Grain- or Nut-Free)
[High-protein, vegan and gluten-free pancakes made with buckwheat groats and almond butter] Now that we’re approaching the end of our semester at the college where I teach, seems everyone has studying and exams on the brain. So I figured this would be an ideal time to present you with a little DDD pop quiz: Q. […]
Spectacular Spring Salad
Before I begin this review–and in the spirit of full disclosure–I must confess to you all that my opinions in this blog post are biased. No, not because I was paid to do this review (which I wasn’t); not because I received a free copy of the book (which I did); and not because I […]
Grain-Free and Green: Raw Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
[Regular raw cookie dough balls mixed with a few Irish-inclined ones (green courtesy of spirulina)]. No, it’s not your imagination; there has not been a single St. Patrick’s Day-themed recipe previously posted on this blog. It’s not that I’m opposed to them–after all, at least 50% of what I cook is green–it’s just that, since I […]
Flash in the Pan: Butterscotch Walco-Nut Butter*
* Or, CocoWal. Or, WalCoco. Or, Waco Nut**. Or, There is Really No Way to Combine “Walnut” and “Coconut” in a Cute and Catchy Contraction. [Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s quick and easy–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 […]
“It’s a Keeper” Butterscotch-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
[Note: this recipe is now available in my cookbook, Naturally Sweet and Gluten-Free, along with over 100 more refined sugar-free, gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free treats!] [photo: Celine Saki] When I first met the HH way back in 1997, he was dabbling in astrology. I don’t mean the kind of horoscopes you read in the daily newspaper or […]
