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…

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!

From the ages of 15…

Maple Sage Harvest Bounty Roast with Quinoa Flake-Crusted Tofu
