As promised, I’m going to supply the recipes from the cooking class I taught last week—my last ever in my home (sniff!). Now, on to today’s NAG-friendly recipe. . . . This recipe for Moroccan Spiced Tomato Soup was originally given to me by a former office mate, who eventually became a close friend. At the […]

Frosted Banana-Oat Bars
Last evening I logged on to my blog and was gobsmacked to discover that my post had been listed on the Best of Holidailies! You cannot imagine how thrilled this neophyte blogger was at the news (made the H.H. read the whole thing–he liked the pic of Elsie’s paw especially) and also how surprised. So thank you, panel of Holidailies readers, and […]
Leftover Pizza for Breakfast
I must be on a “dinner-for-breakfast” kick. This morning, I scarfed up the last 2 pieces of pizza from last night’s cooking class. Normally, the class participants take all the leftovers home with them, but due to intermittent snow squalls throughout the GTA, two people cancelled at the last minute and left me with–yum!–breakfast. I am […]
Mediterranean Tofu Scramble
I have to admit, it took me a long time to warm up to tofu. When I first revamped my diet in accordance with the NAG principles, I had never eaten tofu, let alone familiarized myself with the many varieties in which it’s available. My naturopath touted the truism you hear so often: “It’s basically flavorless on […]
Yet Another Chocolate Tofu Pudding
The snow here in the GTA this morning is relentless–curtains of white, ice pellets grazing your cheeks as you attempt, vainly, to walk the crunchy path to the local park to appease The Girls. It was Chaser’s first experience with snow, and apparently (so my H.H. tells me), she loved it, bouncing and prancing and pawing at […]
Sweet Potato and Carrot Casserole
Today is moving day! We are likely en route right now, between houses, stressing about whether the movers will break our fragile glassware, or whether all the boxes will arrive at their destination, or whether the stove will fit in the space that’s been left for it. In any case, I thought I’d leave a […]
Tea Biscuits at the Ready
With no stove and no way of cooking anything, I’m grateful for the few baked goods left in the freezer. These are tea biscuits I created while experimenting with vegan and sugar-free biscuits and scones. These are light and surprisingly tasty, considering that they have no butter, eggs, or refined sugar. They’re made with spelt […]
Gluten Free Cashew Chocolate Chip Cookies
Hmmmnnnn. . . . so what does this say about me? I am surrounded by boxes. Right here, in my office, the towers of boxes around me–leaving a path just barely wide enough to traverse to get to my computer–resemble a child’s game of war and fortress (I can almost see over the top of the […]
Baked Oats
[There’s nothing like a steaming bowl of oatmeal for breakfast! These baked oats are vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg free, soy-free, nut-free and yeast-free. Suitable for Stage 3 and beyond on an anti-candida diet.] One of my all-time favorite breakfasts is baked oats. The recipe is adapted from the Moosewood Classics cookbook, but I’ve made […]
