peanut butter

Commentary

I really don’t like this new UC logo.  I’m saving the Daily Bruin crossword for Friday because our baby dresser/changing table is going to be delivered sometime between 12 and 4 pm.  That’s a lot of waiting around time that I need to fill.  But I am SO excited about this dresser (nursery photos to come).   Oh, and in case you couldn’t guess, that breakfast was GF toast with Earth Balance and two perfectly fried eggs.   There’s nothing (ok, very little) that makes me happier than a fully stocked fruit situation.  I’m on… Read more >

I just wanted salad dressing

I feel like I’m clinging onto summer with this breakfast.  Home-made banana pancakes with strawberries and peaches.  This was my first sweet breakfast in a long time.   I finally finished off that massive batch of vegan gluten free pancakes that I made a while back, so I had to do actual work in the morning for these.  The effort was worth it, but I wish I’d had the energy to make a huge batch so there were leftovers.  Part one of lunch was half a sweet potato with tofu scramble.   I’ve been on… Read more >

Daily eats

  My breakfast was home-made bread (hence the poor slicing) with almond butter.  I used up almost the very last bit of it, so I decided to make another batch of nut butter.    This time with peanuts.  Roasted peanuts to be exact. Deep down I think Kyle prefers peanut butter to almond butter.  And we recently bought celery and Ritz crackers, which are two of his favorite things to pile with PB.    Honey roasted peanut butter.  Kissed with a touch of agave. I had to do some taste testing of the peanut butter,… Read more >

Dessert Cubes

This recipe still needs tweaking but it tasted great, so in the meantime, here’s how to make it. The lovely people at Suzanne’s Specialties took an interest in my FODMAPs experimentation…and sent me some products to try out. Rice syrup is a FODMAPs free sweetener that I’ve been meaning to try for a while.  Usually I use maple syrup, but brown rice syrup offers a different flavor with a stickier, more honey-like texture.  And it’s also organic, non-GMO, and gluten free so there’s no sacrifice whatsoever. So.  About these little dessert cubes. They are based… Read more >
