First of all, let me say that other than my birthday week, I have been eating primarily vegan for almost two months now! I have found some great raw snacks to satisfy my sweet tooth, my jeans are loo...
Day 2 was a day with a lot of traveling: I ended up with a banana, strawberry, spinach, flax meal, and apple smoothie for breakfast..and oh yes, spirulina and aloe vera also in there. Lunch on the go...
Yes, the Holidays were fabulous, and delicious, and I admit I WAY indulged in lots of sugary, yummy, alcohol-based treats…and now my body is feeling sludgy, and sluggish, and I am ready to do a...
Baked doughnuts. Our first effort for a new show I’m doing called Pictures You Can Taste. The doughnuts came out tasting delicious, though a bit overdone and we put too much batter in the pan. ...
I know, I know! I haven’t posted for AGES! I missed Halloween ( Literally. I was sitting in airports all day.) I missed Thanksgiving (I just returned the evening before). I hope that everyone h...
I just got back into town from taking the kids to Denver and found that there are THREE posts that have disappeared like they never existed, save for the bits of them that are posted on Foodbuzz. REA...
Yes, you heard it right: yeast-free pizza dough. The kids were clamoring for Daddy’s pizza, he felt that Mom should not go without, and here is the result. Let me just say that this effort ( a ...
The Daring Cooks’ Challenge for September was to make a soup…we make soup pretty regularly at our house, and most of the time we have chicken we boil the carcass with veg and create both ...
I am no longer grumpy. In fact, I feel clean and light and pretty darn good all over. Yes, I still would like to have ice cream or wine, especially when my kids are eating some or I see a wine tastin...
Yes, I am still yeast-sugar-fermented free and feeling better every day, though for the first week I noticed no change other than being WAY grumpy. Not my usual habit… Now, I am starting to f...
Before I start, here, I would like to celebrate the memory of Charles Wyly, who was killed in a car crash this past weekend. He and his wife have been very generous patrons of the arts here in the As...
Our neighbours called, asking us if we wanted to come over and pick bush cherries, as they had a kazillion ripe cherries and not enough places to put them. Needless to say, we grabbed a big shopping ...
I just love to throw together a Greek salad! They’re so easy to make and delicious with or without dressing. Add a loaf of fresh crusty bread and an icy beverage of choice and you have the perf...
The Daring Cooks’ Challenge this month ( I remembered, whew!) was to make pasta WITHOUT using the mechanical pasta roller. I thought at first, “No problem, we make pasta around here all t...
I love artichokes as part of a light summer dinner. They are a great treat to share with family and friends, and go well with just about anything else you put on the table. A perfectly cooked articho...
What a delicious, fun, and HOT Fourth of July we had! Starting with fresh raspberry muffins, getting the kids together, throwing Griffin’s bike into the car, and driving up to beautiful little ...
I know that spanakopita is not the usual holiday dish, but I was craving it…so I dressed it up for the occasion. Lots of layers of filo (not homemade, this time), lots of spinach, mushrooms, to...
Cherries are delicious anytime, fresh or dried, and I was thrilled to find this Cherry Crumble recipe that uses both. The weather has gone back and forth, and seems to finally have settled on “...
Happy Summer Solstice! It has been cold and rainy the last few days, and everyone has had a baking agenda ( you know how rainy days just make you want to bake something?). Three people. One kitchen. ...
Potato Salad…Daring Cooks’ Challenge for June and I nearly spaced it…again! I totally forgot about it last month until it was weeks too late. What a dorkbrain! So, I usually post on...
Summer is finally here! In celebration we retrieved the Cuisinart ice-cream maker from the depths of the cupboard and made this glorious Lemon-Tarragon Sorbet. Smooth, lemony, cool deliciousness on a...
Remember how, a couple of posts ago, I said that Anton’s latest obsession was finding the perfect filo dough? Well, he has experimented like crazy! I came home one afternoon to find little bowl...
I hope everyone had a great weekend! It is crazy around here with all of the last-week-of-school activities though lots of fun, as well. Picnics, field trips, hikes, games, and last but not least the...
OK, I admit it; I saved 1 1/2 morels just so I could try out this other recipe from The Ultimate Mushroom Book. It looked so delicious! And it was. The recipe actually calls for Toasted Brioche, Scra...
Saturday afternoon, on a walk with the kids. I could not believe what we were seeing, there by the side of the road: Morels! Eight of them, to be exact. We dug up one and took it home to be certain. ...
First and foremost, I want to tell you we found wild asparagus growing right outside our studio! Across the ditch, actually. We are going to replant some of it in our yard, but mostly we will be keep...
Yes, Kabosu Pie. Doesn’t look like pie, does it? I’m sorry I’m so late posting this week! It’s been a bit crazy around here…it’s spring, and we have been doing our...
I had planned to make a Kabosu Pie yesterday, and somehow we ended up making cream puffs instead. I LOVE cream puffs! From the first time I ever had them at our local bakery in Primrose Hill, London,...
A few weeks ago, I saw that Marx Foods was offering some Exotic Japanese Fruit Juices to review, and I jumped at the chance as I had been looking at a recipe for Yuzu ice cream. The Yuzu fruit is sai...
Remember the Flourless Orange Cake? Well, I decided to make a lemon version, with almonds as the nut this time. Yes, those are indeed oranges on the top, as I used the last of the lemons in the cake!...
