Gluten-Free Pizzelle

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

I have not been feeling very festive so far this December, but my one holiday indulgence has been these pizzelle.  Over a year ago I purchased a waffle iron that came with plates to make hot sandwiches and pizzelle too.  I was so excited, but never tested out the pizzelle maker.  Mostly because I had […]

Winter Fennel Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette

Friday, December 14th, 2012

There is a relatively new gluten-free bakery in Santa Fe called Revolution Bakery which I have been enjoying exploring over the past few months.  In addition to making some exciting baked goods, they are also serving lunches.  When I first started going I always wanted to get something that included a gluten-free-alternative focus like their […]

Chocolate Halvah Fudge

Saturday, September 8th, 2012

Peanut Butter-Banana Muffins

Saturday, August 18th, 2012

I have a confession.  I am way too much of a perfectionist when it comes to this blog…and it is keeping me from blogging.  Apart from the fact that the summer season keeps my schedule inundated with spa work and private massage clients, my main excuse for not blogging is the perfectionist block. I have […]

Gluten-Free Morning Glory Muffins

Friday, April 27th, 2012

Morning Glory Muffins make me think of weekend breakfasts with my father, stepmother, sister and grandmother.  Before I started to make changes to my approach to food, I remember whole wheat morning glory muffins and hot chocolate with whipped cream.  We would meet our grandmother at the diner one town over and catch up on […]

As rhubarb and strawberries make their springtime debut on blogs across the Northern Hemisphere, I know that my Porcini Squash Soup does not sound very timely…but I promise you there is good reason for this soup to appear on my blog.  Firstly, this soup is delicious!  It is rich, creamy and hearty, and makes me […]
