Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Thursday, June 26th, 2014
People come and go from our lives all the time. Not always in dramatic ways, sometimes it is just an ebb and flow of presence. Sometimes our relations – be it friendship or intimate relationships – are long and constant and other times they are sweet ephemeral bursts of connection. Having lived in 5 different […]

Roasted Strawberries
Sunday, April 20th, 2014
Are you loving Spring so far? No matter where you live, Spring can be a mixed-bag. The excitement of warmer days can get momentarily crushed by a surprise snow storm and the beauty of spring blossoms can also bring allergies for some. Personally, I feel like it is all worth it though. The days get […]

Tuscan Minestrone Soup
Tuesday, February 25th, 2014
Some of the best Tuscan recipes were once simply known as peasant food in Italy. One of my favorite Tuscan dishes when I was living in Florence, Italy was Ribollita. Literally, the word ribollita mean re-boiled. This recycled soup is a combination of leftover minestrone soup and stale Tuscan bread. It is hard to re-create […]

Lemon Ginger Granola – Gluten Free
Friday, November 22nd, 2013
Day three of cloud-filled skies here in Santa Fe. Whew my tolerance is being tested. Yes, I grew up in New England, yes I am used to months of inclement, gray, rainy weather…but I voluntarily left it. I know that this weather will pass, and we will be back to daily sunshine here soon enough…but […]

Lemon Basil Chickpea Salad
Saturday, September 28th, 2013
I play around a lot in the kitchen. Which involves dancing, singing and definitely creative liberty. This is something that I am learning even more about in the Nia classes that I have been attending for the past 2 months. I am loving it! Personally, I have fun dancing, but don’t stay up late enough […]

Peanut Butter Granola – Gluten Free
Monday, May 27th, 2013
A few days ago I had a revelation. I don’t remember what inspired it, but I remember feeling like it was a genius idea! Peanut. Butter. Granola. I have been on a kick lately with my granola. Not obsessive or anything, but definitely every-so-often mixing up a batch and enjoying it for a few mornings […]

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 […]

Vegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Wednesday, March 27th, 2013
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 […]
