Toasted Coconut Ice Cream

I’m on a mission this summer to do some amazing things with my ice cream maker. Here is dispatch #1 of deliciousness.

Vegetables for Breakfast?

If you actually took my advice and made the Death by Brownie recipe from last week, you will more than likely be feeling a little pudgy from the fudgey. Which is why I thought busting out an old recipe for a Green Smoothie would be just the antidote for a body in need of some cleansing.

Death by Brownie

If you plan on making these highly addictive brownies, I suggest digging out those dorky elastic-waist pants for the occasion. It’s totally worth the indulgence.

A Culture of Culture

You know what I think we need more of? Culture! Microbial culture that is (although I support the other kind too). I’ve been busy with my three new fermented house pets: sourdough starter, kombucha, & dirty socks porridge! Read on to feed your curiosity…

Almond Milk

DIY Dairy-free Milk! Making your own vegan milk is a great way to reduce your eco-footprint since it saves on packaging and transportation. And of course, it tastes better and is better for you. Now get milking!

Substituting Gluten-Free Flour in Baking: How To

I often have trouble finding fully Emily-friendly dessert recipes… it’s no wonder really, since most baked goods contain about 75% Emily-unfriendly ingredients such as wheat, sugar, eggs, and/or dairy. I’ve gotten pretty good at veganizing recipes, and it’s even getting easier to translate cane sugar to maple or agave. The last bastion, though, has proven [...]

Gluten-free Pumpkin Swirl Brownies

As promised since my last post (a mere 10 minutes ago) here is a recipe I’m working on. Your (honest) feedback would be appreciated! Pumpkins are in season right now so I encourage you to roast your own instead of the canned stuff. Your local farmer will thank you. Pumpkin Swirl Brownies *makes two dozen [...]

Pumpkin Buckwheat Pancakes

Going for long periods without food is always a recipe for disaster. Last night I got home late without having had a proper dinner and then this morning I went for a run first thing. Although it’s not good to eat before exercise, all I could think about was breakfast – and more particularly – [...]

Gluten-Free Vegan Pumpkin Spice Gingerbread

I try to mix up my posts between reflections on food issues and recipes. But recipes are so much easier! I made this gingerbread loaf yesterday for a potluck, and didn’t have a chance to take a pic before, but you can imagine it looked something like this: It’s vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free :) But [...]

Bubby’s Apple Cake

Last weekend was Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Normally, I head to Montreal to celebrate with my mom’s side of the family. This year, however, I wasn’t able to go. Jewish holidays are always a bit hard for me diet-wise, since so much of Jewish cooking involves eggs and sugar. My grandmother (Bubby) used [...]

Gluten-free Ginger-Peach Corn Muffins

A perfect pairing for the fall harvest season. These ginger-peach corn muffins are gluten-free, agave-sweetened and vegan.

Gluten-free Plum Cake

Inspired by my recent purchase of the Babycakes cookbook and a sneaking suspicion that I may be sensitive to more than just wheat, I’ve been experimenting more with gluten-free baking lately. And thanks to some great recipes, careful measurements, and a bit of luck as I’ve swapped around ingredients, they’ve been turning out great. Here [...]

Chia Pudding (yes…like Chia pets)

…but minus the green hair and freaky faces. Chia seeds are my new favourite food. Or, rather, they form the basis of my new favourite dish, which is chia pudding. Chia seeds are a “superfood”. There has been a lot of talk lately about these “superfoods” – foods that have a high phytonutrient content. I [...]

Sugar-free Carrot Cake & Almond Crème Frosting

In follow up to my explanation as to where I’ve been for the past month, I thought I’d share a recipe I created while I was away. This cake is a variation on the carrot loaf I posted a while back. I made it for about 30 people so I’ve included the big cake version [...]

Raw Apple Pile

I just returned from our annual family trip to Montreal for Passover, and I remembered this recipe I posted this time last year. An unusual suspect for a passover dessert since it has no eggs or sugar. My happy alternative to dessert after a giant family meal.
