 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 [...]   I love scones. I think they’re among my favorite indulgences, as they’re one of the less sweet desserts out there, but also a very viable breakfast option. I also think I like just about anything that goes well with a cup of coffee, and I’ve never met a scone that didn’t. It took me three tries to make these. They [...]  Hey, everyone. I feel like it’s been forever, though in reality it’s not even been a week since my last post. There have been so many developments and changes in my life, I don’t know where to start! As far as news goes, I did manage to get a job that I really love. The bad news [...]  I have a dilemma. It’s one that has plagued me all my life, or at least since I was old enough to appreciate the joy that a simple cup of coffee and a few moments of quiet and solitude in the morning can bring. Here’s the dilemma: I’m a morning person. Of course, this is not a [...]  Having many unanswered questions in my life these days (like, when will I get a job? for example), anything that’s certain is a good thing. And if there’s one thing I’m certain of right now, it’s this: in my next life, I want to be Gwyneth Paltrow. I mean, is there anything that woman hasn’t accomplished? Oscar-winning actress? [...]  When I was younger, I was the girl who listened to exclusively broadway musicals, who didn’t have cable, and who read books like Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights at the age of 10. So, when a friend invited me to a Bare Naked Ladies concert with her (yes, I still managed to have at [...]  I’ve been making an effort, over the last few years, to limit the amount of medicine I put into my body. It seems that with every doctor’s appointment, there’s a new presciption to be filled, a new ailment to treat. So when my muscle spasm medication ran out last month, I decided not to fill it. [...]  So, the other day I made my chocolate-banana cupcakes with sour cream frosting. I left about half of the cupcakes unfrosted in a ziplock bag for Gennaro to snack on throughout the week. In the meantime, I was working on a candida-friendly pumpkin mousse. I had some chilling in the fridge, and I was anxious to “test [...]  It wasn’t a particular recipe or picture or memory or craving that inspired me to attempt a gluten-free, vegan, sugar-free version of an olive oil cake. It was an unstocked pantry that brought this all about a few weeks ago. Still slow to build up to the pre-honeymoon stock of baking items, I was craving an upside-down [...]  Gennaro’s birthday was last Wednesday and I struggled to come up with anything to make that would rival the 3-course Nobu knock-off meal I made last year — one which took exactly two days of prep, planning, and research and one full day of cooking. Somehow — as fun as that all may sound, I know – [...] |
