Homemade Granola (Recipe)

One of the best parts of summer is breakfast outdoors. On a patio, a deck, a balcony, in a back yard, near a beach, under elms. Wherever you are in the world and whatever your outside, breakfast in morning air is simply liberating, naughty even – if you stay in pajamas. I’m sitting out in […]

Gluten-Free Peach & Raspberry Crumble (Recipe)

I made this healthy dessert with my little nieces in mind. They all have different tastes and dietary needs, so it isn’t easy coming up with a dish that all three will enjoy. I’m pretty sure fresh peaches, raspberries and the playful, nutty flavor of crumbly buckwheat will please them all – at least I […]

I’d found the original recipe in “New Vegetarian” by Celia Brooks Brown. A good friend gave me the cookbook years ago and its […]

Heritage Minestrone (Recipe)

The second part of this post is all about the minestrone soup I made after this Sunday’s farmers’ market.

Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Dip (Recipe)

I was at the library yesterday, around 4pm, trying to get some research done and couldn’t stop thinking about how hungry I was. It’s obvious, one shouldn’t go to the library hungry – especially when one […]
