 One of the challenges of sharing recipes with others is trying to manage expectations. I’ve posted several brownie recipes on this site (I should start a section just for “brownies” in my recipe index, there are so many options at this point), each with its own character, texture and taste. Some are cakey, some chewy, some [...]  It’s here! It’s here! Rhubarb season is here! I couldn’t contain my excitement when I spotted my first bunch of the season at Detroit’s Eastern Market this morning. I was too excited, in fact, that I did that thing where I grabbed the first bunch I could see and immediately bought it, as if this one vendor [...]  Well, I’m back in New York for the week to visit my husband (if this last sentence confuses you, see: coconut macaroons — the post, not the actual recipe). I brought some work with me to do during the day while Gennaro is at work. Otherwise, I had a chance to catch up on some of [...]  I’ve heard that a full moon can make people crazy, but what about tired? Despite catching up on my sleep over the weekend, drinking a few cups of coffee today and not doing anything particularly grueling, I’m sort of physically and mentally exhausted. Maybe there’s some emotional exhaustion at play as well. Has the stress from all [...]  When I started this site, I set out to make dishes that were not just “good….for being gluten-free/vegan/sugar-free,” but also good in their own right. However clear this mission was, it was never so imperative as it was on Friday night, when I set out to bake a cake that was to be auctioned off for charity [...]  At one time in my life, the thought of steamed vegetables (especially steamed broccoli and kale) evoked lacklusterness and deprivation. That is until I discovered this dressing. Now, I’ll eat just about anything I can use as a vehicle for this sweet and tangy sauce. It’s awesome on salad, as a satay dip, or drizzled over steamed vegetables and [...]  Who has read The Hunger Games trilogy? Anyone? My mom bought be a nook a few weeks ago, and I took my husband’s suggestion to make The Hunger Games my first nook purchase. That was last Thursday, as in, February 17th. Since then, I’ve literally been glued to my nook during every inch of spare time I can [...]  When I began transitioning to a vegan diet — almost a year ago now — I knew there would be moments of concession. I was always one of those people who said things like “I could easily go vegan if I had to…except for…” and that’s where I decided it didn’t matter, because no one’s putting a [...]  I’m one of those people who likes Valentine’s Day more than I should admit. While feigning apathy and even disdain for this so-called Hallmark Holiday, I secretly love the idea that there is one random night every year where you are justified in splurging on a date night dinner, even when the remaning 364(ish) days of the [...]  What a funny world we live in. One month, we’re showered with every type of diet and detox recipe imaginable (including here on Delectably Free), the next month we’re teased and lured by Super Bowl party recipes for nachos and junk food, only to face the sweets and chocolate onslaught that is Valentine’s Day. No wonder we’re [...] |
