Presto Pesto

Ooof… it’s been a while.  Sorry about that.  I got all caught up in this whole moving thing and am just now brushing the cardboard dust off and peering out to say a quick ‘hey’.  There’s been a lot of wonky stuff happening, the universe is hammering some curve balls in my direction.  But it’s [...]

Recipe: Indian Lentil Stew

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it here, but we’re gearing up to move.  I’m trying to keep from bringing more than I absolutely need to into the house so I’ve decided to go on a grocery exile. If you’ve never been on a grocery exile it’s a great way to use up what’s in your [...]

Eye Candy

My peep Janice just started a blog.  There’s food there.  Yummy food.  I can’t eat a lot of what she makes without some mods, but a girl can appreciate good tasting, good looking food, you know?
Go and see for yourself.  You will want to lick your computer screen.  You have been warned.

Recipe: Vegan Chocolate Pudding

I feel like I need to disclose that I’m in no way vegan, but my avoidance of dairy leads me to things that are dairy-like but dairy-free and therefore vegan sometimes.  The inspiration from this recipe comes from here.  It’s originally a “raw” recipe, but my choice to use maple syrup makes it un-raw.

Recipe: Cheesy Noodley Goodness

Sometimes, you just need a little comfort food.  However, if you are me, it’s a bit hard to come by when you can’t eat dairy, gluten, soy or corn.  I’ve been playing with cashew cream (soaked cashews blended with water) and decided to make a cheese sauce.  What better to pair that with than rice [...]

Recipe: Joe the Moose

The other day I decided I wanted sloppy joes.  Maybe wanted isn’t the right word.  Needed is much more accurate.  Clearly I can’t eat the stuff in the can, so I googled for a recipe and voila, I found one.  But of course I didn’t have some of the ingredients so this is what I [...]
