I’ve never been what I’d call a “good” flirt. In high school, I hung out with the nerdy crowd (hard to believe, I know!), so there wasn’t really any opportunity to flirt. Then, when I was finally old enough to attract the opposite sex in my 20s, it seemed too late to get the hang of […]

Chili to Last Through the Winter
The three of you who were reading my blog last year at this time may recall that I am not a fan of winter. “What?” the rest of you ask, “and you from Montreal?” Well, I’m here to tell you that being born in a certain place doesn’t automatically predispose one kindly toward the weather of […]
First Date Pasta
[Whether it’s a first date or a 10th anniversary dinner, you’ll love this savory, flavorful pasta dish. It’s vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg free, soy-free, optionally nut-free, optionally yeast-free, and low glycemic. Suitable for Stage 2 and beyond on an anti-candida diet.] It’s been a whirlwind weekend, first, with a birthday dinner (THANKS for all […]
Lucky Comestible 4(5): Raspberry Coconut Coffee Cake
[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 fourth edition, I’m focusing on Coconut. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky comestible. This […]
Lucky Comestible 4 (2): Cuckoo for Coconut (GF Mini Loaves or Cupcakes)

Other People’s Munchies. . . and Please Share Your Own
Odd. . . my Google Reader seemed to be filling up at an alarming rate, sort of like the rising waterline in The Poseidon Adventure. Then I remembered: Not only is October the official World Vegetarian Month, it’s also the Vegan MOFO (Month of Food)! This is the 31-day period in which vegan food bloggers worldwide pledge to blog […]
Blast from the Past: Barley-Hazelnut Salad
As someone who considers herself an unabashed fan (and follower) of popular culture, I love trend-watching (and also soap opera-watching, and celebrity-watching, and style-watching. . . plus reading trashy magazines at the supermarket checkout line. . . I could go on, but really, haven’t I embarassed myself enough for one day?) Over the years, I’ve […]
Holiday Bundt Apple Cake
[Looking for the revamped gluten-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free, egg-free version? It’s here.] One of the shared quirks of most Canadians is our propensity to focus on the weather (well, that, and our internationally-recognized, world-renowned politeness. Oh, but please do excuse me for interrupting that train of thought with a parenthesis–how very rude! I do apologize). We […]
Sweet and Spicy Tempeh
After the HH and I had been dating for about four months and he’d already passed the “willing to tolerate my multiple quirks and neuroses” test, I decided it would be acceptable for him to finally meet my family and old friends in Montreal. I cajoled coerced begged invited him to join me one weekend as I […]
Flash in the Pan: Cocoa Nibbles (or, La”Raw” Bar)
[EDIT, February 2012: You all know I love Ellen DeGeneres, right? And Ellen loves this recipe! I couldn’t be more thrilled that she decided to share on her Going Vegan with Ellen page. Thank you, Ellen! 😀 ] Sometimes, you just want to eat something now. I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in […]
