Gluten-Free Buckwheat Waffle Recipe

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Did it work?  Did this sexy photo of gluten-free buckwheat waffles distract you from the Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce mess in the kitchen? Was I doing too many things at once?  Probably, but sometimes I come up with so many fun ideas that when I finally get in the kitchen I get a little “gung-ho”. These […]

How do you like your gluten free waffles?

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

For the past 3 weeks or so I have been creating a recipe for Gluten Free Belgian Waffles.  It has been awesome!  I found a spectacular waffle iron at a local thrift shop here in Santa Fe, NM and since then have been whipping up variations of gluten-free waffles, attempting to create the perfect balance […]

Gluten Free Buckwheat Muesli

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Have you ever priced out muesli before?  It is pretty crazy how much stores/companies charge for “Swiss Muesli” or “Alpine Muesli”.  Honestly, the ingredients are not that expensive, and it is super easy to make.  Not many companies make a gluten-free version of it though, so a few years ago I started creating the muesli […]

Fig + Hazelnut + Chocolate = Cookies

Saturday, February 19th, 2011

My favorite gelateria in Florence is Gelateria La Carraia for two reasons. Reason #1 They are the best bang for the buck (euro).  You see, I lived in Florence before and after the euro came into creation.  Before the euro, the smallest gelato cost 1,000 lira in most gelaterie.  That was about 50 cents (American).  […]

Quinoa Broccoli Salad

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

Last night was so much fun!  After much anticipation, I finally co-hosted a swishing party (I have been hoping to do this for a while now).  For those of you who do not know about swishing, basically it is a great way to get a bunch of friends together and swap clothing.  It was great!  […]

Cocoa Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

The holidays are coming, work is slow, it is cold and dark…and I am craving chocolate.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been enjoying Pamela’s Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Chunk Cookies, but I truly prefer to bake for myself.  Since I didn’t have my own cocoa cookie recipe yet, I decided to do […]
