After the excesses** of the recent long weekend here in Toronto, I felt the need for something more ascetic. I was craving something light, clean and (yes) green: a salad! And I knew that my salad had to contain apple. I got this recipe from a cookbook I’ve had for years–a decade, almost–and from which I have never […]

Crazy Simple Raw Kale Salad
Ah, kale. How do I love thee? Let me enumerate the methods. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my stove can reach. And also my wok. I love thee sautéed with a hint of garlic and soy sauce. I love thee to a level of spice that would top the Richter scale, lightly […]
Cabbage (or Broccoli) Delight
[Ah, if only I were truly still enjoying my salad days . . . in reality, I am firmly ensconced smack-dab in the middle of my “main course” days. But you can enjoy this salad at any age!] Now that summer is undeniably underway in these parts (nothing spells “summer” quite like a week of temperatures soaring beyond 33C/92F), heavy duty […]
Sugar-free, Dairy-free, Candida-friendly “Notella” (Chocolate Hazelnut Spread)
[Just look at that icy, smooth surface. . . dig in!] The Nutty Part: Ever since I created that Walnut-Cacao Nib Butter a while back, I’ve gone all-out nutty. Seems a day cannot go by without my consuming some form of nut butter. I had already been enjoying nuts on this ACD (one of the […]
Rhubarb Swirl Ice Cream
Ah, the crazy, lazy days of summer. Well, at least I got it half right. 😉 Ack!! I’m going nuts over here! Bonkers! Batty! Off the deep end! Loco! Folle! Verrückt! Whack! Or, as Susan Powter used to say, “STOP THE INSANITEEEEEEEE!!”. Well, really, it’s my own fault. I mean, it’s crunch time at my job, […]
Asparagus, Pea Shoot and Pea Salad
Ever since I began the ACD last year, I’ve been on a mission to find restaurants that can accommodate my dietary restrictions. Luckily, I’ve discovered two or three, and the HH and I tend to frequent those establishments regularly. On our recent vacation in Florida, I was elated to discover Wish, where I enjoyed a tasting […]
Walnut-Cacao Nib Butter (& Variations!)
[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).] [Ooohh-wee! Just […]
Beet Burgers
[Seen here on romaine leaves with a side of homemade cultured vegetables.] I can hardly believe it, but today is the HH and my thirteenth anniversary! And to think they said it would never last! Of course, when we met, we were just love-struck kids a one-night stand riding the subway two jaded divorcés who thought […]
