Fig-Walnut Granola – Gluten Free
Friday, April 26th, 2013
This was the last bowl of my latest batch of homemade gluten-free granola, and boy do I miss it! Thankfully this granola recipe is so easy to whip up, that I don’t feel like I have to put aside too much time to create the next batch. Often I will mix up a batch before [...]

I have been enjoying homemade Vegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding for over a year now, but it is one of those recipes that seems so easy to make that I have been hesitating to put it up on the blog… Not because I think it is too obvious to share, on the contrary, I think people [...]

Chocolate Halvah Fudge
Saturday, September 8th, 2012
I can’t say that I eat halvah all that often. Firstly it is not readily available in New Mexico, and secondly a lot of store made versions of halvah are way too sweet for me. After looking it up to share some details about halvah with you, I discovered that halvah is a traditional dish [...]

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 [...]

Apple Ginger Squash Muffins – Gluten-Free
Monday, October 31st, 2011
Happy Halloween! That’s it though…that is about as far as my Halloween celebration goes. You see, I am not big on Halloween. I am not big on costumes, candy and things that are scary. Costumes for me involve dressing up and feeling fancy…so basically I would just like to go out to a nice dinner [...]
