5-Minute Banana Pick Me Up
My sweet tooth was aching last night! I didn’t want a true dessert, just something sweet enough to tame the crave. I decided to whip up this ridiculously easy dish (really, 5 minutes!) – this can easily be eaten as a breakfast, dessert, or add a little non-dairy milk & it’s a shake! It would…

Scrumptious Meatless Tofu Loaf
This year will be my first gluten-free Thanksliving! 10 months ago I had to relearn my eating habits and at first I was lost & felt like I’d never be able to enjoy food again. I wouldn’t let negativity bog me down! I refused to eat processed, let alone mostly tasteless gluten-free options (and then…

Lemon Tahini Zesty Tofu Quinoa Burgers with Stuffed Delicata Squash
Last night I was craving falafels, but I didn’t have any fava beans on hand (d’oh!). I had to satisfy my craving so I decided to whip up a tasty replacement! As with any new recipe, it becomes a science experiment in the kitchen testing flavors and consistencies, hoping the end result is as scrumptious…

Simple Pumpkin Macaroni and Cashew Cheese Sauce
I’m in love with the Autumn harvest, which of course includes my true love, PUMPKIN! Macaroni & Cheese, in my opinion, is the definition of comfort food.

Harvested Cranberry Bean Stew and Delicata Squash

These beans were absolutely delicious; packed with folate, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, and protein, just to name a few. This was a delicious quick and easy stew for dinner with family. If you don’t have…

Easy Morning Baked Pancake with Fruit Topper
Throughout my childhood, I awoke to the sweet smell of puffed-oven pancakes my mom would bake. I was feeling nostalgic this morning and decided to convert them to be gluten-free. When I opened the oven and saw the result, it wasn’t what I was expecting, but this was so delicious I had to share! It…

Roasted Chipotle Pumpkin Soup
Sandy tore through the NorthEast coast with a vengeance. I had my floaties ready and my umbrella just in case I needed to channel Marry Poppins and fly out of here! I cooked up a storm (literally) preparing for a week-long power outage. For my hiking adventures, I have a handy dandy Pocket Rocket Stove,…

Perfect Banana Quinoa Muffins
I’ve seriously cracked the gluten-free code with these muffins! They’re made with the same recipe as my Banana Nut Butter Quinoa Bread (jump on over to see the ingredients), baked in muffin tins (either greased or in paper liners, filled almost to the top) rather than loaf pans. I’m not one to toot my own…

Avocado and Spinach Scramble
Today we’re preparing for Sandy’s arrival. No, not a dear friend, a Frankenstorm just in time for Halloween. Last year we were devastated by Hurricane Irene, then Halloween brought a freakish snowstorm. Halloween ’12 is knocking down the door, and it’s not packing any treats – only tricks! I’m keeping busy in the kitchen, trying to…
