peanut… flour?

On September 21, 2010 By

One of the many rea­sons that I love Trader Joe’s is because aside from the every­day sta­ples (like flour and soy milk), you dis­cover these ran­dom trea­sures. They vary by region (I still miss the vegan grape juice sweet­ened cin­na­mon rolls they sell in Phoenix) and you never know how long you have before they […]

{Thanks for your par­tic­i­pa­tion in my poll below! I think it stands that I’ll be play­ing around with cheesecake!}

While I love to talk about food and about all of the deli­cious vegan feasts we enjoy, I can get tired of the ques­tions. You know the kind, where the inquirer doesn’t actu­ally care what the […]

Sum­mer fruit is at its peak and I am here to give you a rea­son to fire up your oven and make your house toasty– because this cake is amaz­ing. This is the first recipe I’m shar­ing from my upcom­ing cake book.

soup in juneuary

On June 2, 2010 By

A few weeks ago, we Port­landers were pre­ma­turely vis­ited by sum­mer. It was warm and sunny and glo­ri­ous. Now our days are dark, we are expe­ri­enc­ing bib­li­cal rain and we have lapsed back into muddy win­ter weather.

I have tasted the fruits of sum­mer and I am not a happy camper.

Alas, given that […]

gobble, gobble

I love Thanks­giv­ing food. Cran­ber­ries and stuff­ing? Yes, please. Some more sweet pota­toes? Pile on some bread sticks or bis­cuits and gravy and call it a day. Who could miss turkey? Thanks­giv­ing is all about the side dishes anyway.

Except for dessert. Dessert is an equally impor­tant part of Thanks­giv­ing. Nat­u­rally, one’s mind wanders […]

If you’re from the US, you’ve prob­a­bly never heard of clafoutis, but I can assure you that you’ll be happy to be in the know.

Cherry clafoutis is a tra­di­tional French dessert that is basi­cally a baked custard/cake/crustless pie thing served warm and creamy with bursts of sweet cherry good­ness. Not only is it […]

A good friend of mine is col­lect­ing recipes for a cook­book that a close friend of her fam­ily is putting together. This friend, Becky, has Stage 4 breast can­cer that has spread to her liver and spine. […]

pumpkin in my pancakes, told a tale on you

On October 28, 2009 By

I’m kind of clas­sic when it comes to eat­ing fruit but­ters– slathered on a chunk of bread or warm toast is all I need to feel bliss. But that was a very large amount of pump­kin but­ter to make, regard­less of how much I love Dave’s Killer Bread.

Enter my favorite meal of the day: […]
