I haven’t done a blog in over a week. After the busy holiday schedule where I was posting 2-3 times a week, this seems like a big lull. Having lost my grandfather the night of my last post, frankly, I just wasn’t up for another post last week. The service was beautiful and it was […]
Ingredient-Challenge Monday, Vegan Garlic Kale Chips
January 3, 2011 By 5 Comments
I love leafy greens. Seriously. Spinach, Mustard, Turnip, Kale…love love love! My garden was loaded with greens this year and my only wish is that we had more to enjoy! It surprises and somewhat saddens me that many people look at greens and freeze up; clueless as to how to add these striking gems to […]

December 21, 2010 By 3 Comments

December 20, 2010 By 2 Comments
After 11 hours of sleep last night (unheard of in my world), I awoke not only feeling about 80% myself, but also to discover two of my children feeling ill as well. So a day I hoped to spend making cookies and pomegranate jam, turned into a day of well tested remedies and hopefully the […]
Vegan Salted Cayenne Dark Chocolate Almond Fudge (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free)
December 17, 2010 By 12 Comments
Gourmet chocolates have brought us all kinds of zany combinations. Chocolate covered fruit, gummy bears, peppermint sticks or even biscotti…each and every combination has its own unique taste and texture, each just as exquisite as the next. Nearly two years ago I had my first taste of pepper infused chocolate with a hint of sea […]

Fudge. Melt in your mouth piece of heaven. I have been making fudge for more years than I care to admit to and fell in love with what has, in recent years, been dubbed “five minute” fudge more than 20 years ago. No doubt you have seen similar recipes. Rachel Ray shared her version […]

Sweetened condensed milk is one of those coveted items, especially by those of us who cannot have milk.

My recipe for sweetened condensed milk gives you all […]

Have you ever had those weeks where it feels as if you have not had the opportunity to sit but for a moment the entire week? For me, it seems as if I will scarcely have a moment to sit this entire month, then I realized earlier today that this month is somewhat of a […]
