Cranberry Orange Creamcicle Bread Bliss

This beautiful bread makes a blissful breakfast or a decadent dessert topped with my Orange Cranberry Icing (recipe below). It’s even easier to make a double batch, let the bread cool completely, then freeze for a later date! Cranberries out of season? This bread would be delicious with raspberries, or even strawberries.

Succulent Stuffing

Stuffing has been a staple since Ancient Rome (want to read up on the history? Check out The History of Stuffing.) Most serve stuffing during the Holidays, but you shouldn’t stop serving it then; it’s delicious and a true comfort food any time of the year! To add variety, add 1 Cup chopped walnuts and…

Pure Pumpkin Pie

This simple, pure pumpkin pie can be made either with organic canned pumpkin puree, or you can make your own pumpkin puree as I did in this recipe. Homemade pumpkin puree is ridiculously easy to prepare (you can even bake a few pumpkins & freeze the leftover puree to use as-needed!). To steam your pumpkin,…

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’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.

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…

Shepherd’s Pie with Gratifying Gravy

I ventured for my first time to Balsam Mountain in the Catskills (http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/1325324). Boy, did the weather forecast get this one wrong! That morning you could certainly tell Autumn had left us; as we got closer to the mountain we could see everything above 3,500 ft elevation was covered with a fresh sprinkle of snow. …

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. Last night we made a fabulous dinner consisting of quinoa crusted tofu (I’m addicted!), roasted local farm-fresh chioggia beets & purple haze carrots, beet…
