I love pumpkin. So, when I heard that it was the theme for this months  Go Ahead Honey recipe round-up (hosted by Heather over at Life, Gluten Free) I was thrilled.  Typically, I use pumpkin for muffins or bread. But, this inspired me to challenge myself,  to make something completely out of my comfort zone [...]

This past Saturday morning, we went and strolled around the farmers’ market. We  came across some great finds. I bought some incredibly beautiful Batavian lettuce – which I proceeded to savor each evening for 4 nights straight. Sadly, it is now gone. And I shall have to wait until Saturday morning to go back to the market [...]

These cookies are wonderful. Slightly sweet and slightly salty. Such a delicious combination. These are not hard to make – but you really need to have uninterrupted time to devote to them.

Now, white chocolate is [...]

I’d  somehow forgotten about this little gem of a dish until I came across the recipe in Novembers Cooks Country magazine. I stopped and reflected for a moment – could this recipe be refabbed (yes, I invented that word) gluten and casein free?  I made this a [...]

cranberry apple pie

Happy Thanksgiving! I realize it is the morning of – and most of you have already chosen your turkey day dessert. However, for any of you last minute recipe hunters – this one is a winner. It’s a cross between a cake and a pie. And it’s so good in fact that I ate some for breakfast [...]

heavenly hazelnut cookies

published 5 years ago, mid-October

I came across this cookie recipe in this months Eating Well Magazine. We eat a variety of nuts, but this is an awesome way to eat the less popular variety – hazelnuts.  They are nutritional power-houses:  a 1 ounce serving  contains almost 3 grams of fiber!  These heart healthy gems also contain potassium, magnesium, phosphorous and Vitamin E.  The batter [...]
