Sweet Freedom

Sweet Potato Truffles or Truffle Cups

by Ricki Heller 94 Comments

Are you looking forward to V-Day next week?  Seems most people either love it or hate it.  Being from the “never too much schmaltz” school of romance, I love Valentine’s Day.  Even during all those years before I met the HH, I’d always endeavor to celebrate somehow.  I’d send cards to my friends or my sisters.  […]

Flash in the Pan: Sautéed Greens with Onions and Apples

by Ricki Heller 42 Comments

[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).] [With Collards, […]

Family and Festive Feasting

by Ricki Heller 26 Comments

[Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Warm Caramel Sauce] As I mentioned in a previous post, the CFO came to visit over the holidays, and we had a truly lovely time together, chillaxing (I can’t understand why that word has evaporated from the lexicon.  I mean, it just seems to capture so perfectly the concept its meant to convey), laughing, […]

Chocolate Pecan Pie

by Ricki Heller 57 Comments

A few of you keen-eyed readers guessed that yesterday’s final “teaser” photo was of pecan pie.  But since I’m not particularly a “pie person” to begin with (I’ve posted about only one other pie in over a year on this blog–and it wasn’t even my own recipe!), and since I most definitely AM a chocolate person, I decided […]

Such a Tease

by Ricki Heller 26 Comments

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 […]

The Wait is Over/The Weight is Under

by Ricki Heller 23 Comments

I know, that title sounds like something straight out of my Post-Modern Literary Criticism class (oooh, I shudder just re-thinking it!).  But both bits of news cheered me so much that I wanted to share them in the same post! The Wait is Over: Just when I thought I could wait no longer, I received my […]

Lucky Comestible 4(5): Raspberry Coconut Coffee Cake

by Ricki Heller 28 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 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 […]

Flash in the Pan: Cocoa Nibbles (or, La”Raw” Bar)

by Ricki Heller 48 Comments

[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 […]

Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free French Toast Souffle with Summer Berries

by Ricki Heller 40 Comments

In my mind, here’s the perfect way to wake up on a Sunday morning: Outside, the weather is balmy. A mild breeze whispers through the slightly opened window, curtains undulating softly with each invisible breath.  The sun makes its presence known through the diaphanous curtain as it tickles the pillows of our bed with little sparkles of laughing light. […]
