I know not all of you are making your own almond milk and therefore aren't desperate for almond pulp recipes. But believe it or not, it's one of the most common SOS's I receive in my email inbox. "More uses for almond pulp, please!" "I have a freezer full -- HELP!" Believe me, I'm in the same ...
Grain-free Cinnamon Apple Cake Recipe
One of the first desserts I made my boyfriend-now-husband was the Chunky Apple Walnut Cake from The Silver Palate Cookbook. Do you remember that book? Even though it's from 1982, I still have it on the shelf in my kitchen with more current titles. It was probably the second cookbook I ever bought ...
whole grain mixed berry buckle recipe (gluten and dairy-free versions, too!)
I am so behind planning my Father's Day menu! I was just a lazy bones in Mexico last week and for some reason didn't really have Father's Day on the brain, but now here it is, coming up in 5 quick little days. I have my father coming into town this weekend which is an extra special treat. Most ...
sweet potato-apple-ginger juice recipe
I have been in a bit of a juice rut lately, making the same ones over and over again. The bad news is that this boredom with my juice caused me to be less motivated to actually juice, and therefore I have been missing out on of the things that puts a spring in my step and makes me feel healthy. My ...
Apple Pie Granita recipe (refined sugar-free)
My grandparents had a cute place in the Pocono mountains when I was growing up. We would go for a week in the summer and occasionally for a long weekend during Thanksgiving and Presidents' weekend. Summers were the best though, because we were always outside playing badminton or bocce on the bocce ...
vegan apple spice snacking cake recipe (refined sugar-free)
I just took stock of my pantry because baking season has officially begun. It started slowly with a few batches of cookie dough for back to school lunches. Then Mr. Picky's birthday rolled around last week and whoosh it's Rosh Hashana this Wednesday night already! I don't need to tell you what is ...
Baked Cinnamon Cake Doughnuts Recipe (gluten-free adaptable!)
I love teaching people how to cook and I love working with food, but one business I don't see myself in is the restaurant business. That just seems like waaaaaay too much work! But if I did open a restaurant, I would have a little casual breakfast and lunch place called "He Said, She Said." The ...
Homemade Larabars and Laralollipops!
Larabars were one of the first snack bars that I remember buying. There are no scary ingredients, no added sugars or colors, just dates and nuts. I liked having them for the kids in my diaper bag, as a snack for the plane when we traveled, and more recently for all-day soccer tournaments in the ...
moroccan chicken with dates recipe (slow cooker version, too!)
You all know I live in Southern California and perhaps you know we are having a very mild, but super dry winter. We actually have a serious drought happening here. And you might also know that 99% of my entire family lives in the New York/New Jersey area. And they're having a veerrryy different ...
gingerbread biscotti recipe (gluten-free version, too!)
I have been offered A LOT of biscotti in my life. When everyone you are related to is Italian, biscotti appear more often than Oreos. They're called "biscotti" because they literally translate to "twice baked." You bake them in logs first, then you slice up the logs and bake them again. They have ...
Vegan Pumpkin Oatmeal Spice Cookies Recipe (gluten-free)
Have you made my vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies? If you're new here, do not hesitate. They are fantastic! They're a staple around here and definitely one of the more healthful (less bad for you?) cookies I've tried. I love that recipe so much I decided to tinker with it and make a fall ...
