Happy to be Home + Apple Butter Saga
Since returning home, I have happily filled my life with friends, family, fall colours, and an apple butter extravaganza.
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.
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.
Iron(ic) Chef: Vegan Round
It’s been a few weeks now since I told the world about my blog and I haven’t posted since! This is a big no no in the blogging world I am sure, so I apologize to those who’ve come back looking for new material and were disappointed to find it sorely lacking. I had put [...]
A Tale of Two Carrot Loaves
A carrot cake experiment in gluten-free and spelt!
Workshopping a Healthy Muffin
I held my first home-based baking workshop last week and the results were sweet…like potatoes!
Local Pancakes / Un-Enlightenment Pancakes
Ok, many people think I’m all about über health all the time. Yeah, okay, so I eat vegetables for breakfast. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have pancakes for dinner. Which is exactly what I did tonight. The perfect antidote for my fatigue, hunger, and day-long crave-fest for all things sugary and carbo-hydrated. It’s funny [...]
