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.

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!

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.

A few weeks ago I posted my Take Out Chinese at Home recipe and I was craving it again the other night! I wasn’t sure what to title this recipe; Joey sugeested “Best Chinese Food EVER” since he said this was his favorite Asian meal I’ve made to date; it DOES have a ring to…

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…

Back to Basics Apple Pie

My parents have been camping out here in my place since it’s day #5 with no power for them, thanks to Frankenstorm Sandy! Thankfully I am up & running with power.
