Glazed Tempeh (aka Tempeh Bacon)

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

sugarfree, vegan, grainfree tempeh bacon recipe on rickiheller.com

[Shown here with My Favorite Tofu Scramble and Grainfree Fluffy Pancakes from The Sweet Life.] When I was a kid, my dad (a butcher) would literally “bring home the bacon” every weekend. Because he worked 6 days a week, Sunday brunch was sacrosanct as family time.  Brunch was an occasion to share significant events from […]

Anti-Candida Friendly Tempeh "Bourguignon"*

by Ricki Heller 37 Comments

*Well, it’s not really “bourguignon.”  But it is ACD friendly, sugar free, gluten free, and vegan.  And it tastes delicious. What more could you ask for? I will never forget the first lecture I attended as a callow undergraduate at the University of Windsor: it was Modern American Drama, with a professor named Dr. John Ditksy. […]

Layered Mexican Casserole*

by Ricki Heller 32 Comments

*Or,  ACD-Friendly Fast Food.  Or, Intercultural Lasagna. Or, What to Do with those Nearly-Stale Nacho Chips.  Even though these days it takes me almost 15 minutes before I can stand up fully erect after first rolling out of bed (in which I sleep on my back, with 2 pillows under my knees so my spine can retain its proper […]

Well-Balanced Red and Green for the Holidays: Chiles en Nogada

by Ricki Heller 28 Comments

One of the most common traits exhibited by Libras is, supposedly, “indecisiveness.”  As a Libra myself, I don’t really mind that description.  Well, maybe a little.  But not really–it’s all in good humor, right?  Then again, who likes to be called “indecisive”?  Am I offended?! Yes. No. Definitely. . . . maybe. Represented by the scales, Libras […]

Let’s Get This Party Started: Tempeh Bacon-Topped, Roasted Plum and Baby Spinach Salad

by Ricki Heller 28 Comments

Well, it’s Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday, which can only mean one thing:  Star Trek marathon on Space Channel!  Or maybe: Ellen Page gets a surprise celebration from buddy Justin Long? Or how about: only 257 more days until summer? Okay, in reality, Thanksgiving means that, like it or not, the holiday season is already upon us.  […]

Lucky Comestible 5 (5): “Ground” Tempeh in a Cilantro Curry Sauce

by Ricki Heller 22 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 fifth edition, I’m focusing on cilantro. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky […]

Sweet and Spicy Tempeh

by Ricki Heller 27 Comments

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 […]

My Favorite Mistake: Savory Filled Breakfast Crepes

by Ricki Heller 17 Comments

I really hate making mistakes.  Not only because they sometimes wreak havoc (“What?  The model of Stonehenge on stage was supposed to be 18 FEET high, not 18 inches???” or, “What?  But I thought the BLUE was the ‘panic button,’ Mr. President!!!”), but also because they make me feel really knuckle-brained sometimes (“Um, HH, can you come […]

A Joy: Pot Luck Club

by Ricki Heller 3 Comments

 I’m still quite new to blogging, and I certainly proved it last evening.  At my house was a group of six amazing women–three whom I met at my nutrition school, one from a long-ago volunteer gig, and the last as a participant in one of my (now defunct) cooking classes–and each brought at least one fantastic, high-saliva […]
