Vegan Chocolate Brownies

These are the product of an extreme baking binge a few weeks ago.   The only reason I held off in sharing them was because I hadn’t tried them (and therefore didn’t know how they’d turned out).  If you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, you know I’m not one to practice self restraint, so allow me to clarify why I waited a week to try my own baking… I had three other treats (maple oat muffins, banana bread and chocolate chip cookies) already filling my daily sweet quota.  And since each was… Read more >

Pesto Post-o

Remember when I posted a photo of my pesto dinner and kept promising to share the recipe?    I never promised a timely post, but I’ve finally gotten my act together.   Since I’m not a chef, I’m not really sure about the proper measuring techniques on things like lettuce and fresh herbs.  My scale is like fistful, really big fistful, and double fisting it.  Not exactly Julia Childs status.  So I’m apologizing in advance for the way I describe the amounts I used.  Really Green Pesto [vegan, gluten free, FODMAPs free, nut free] Ingredients:… Read more >

Savory Hash

  Ready for an unconventional breakfast?   Tea in a coffee cup.  Why I felt like this as opposed to this is a mystery. By the way, this photo is false advertising since I added a hefty pour of almond milk afterwards.  I like my tea (and coffee) the color of the discontinued light brown M&M’s.  Creamy.  The second reason this breakfast is unconventional (for me), is that I went savory as opposed to sweet.  And there are no grains to be found!   Recently, my mother-in-law and I had a discussion about breakfast fare. … Read more >

Coconut holes

Or macaroons.  Or dough bites.  Or balls.  Whatever.  The variety of names for these treats is endless.  They are essentially coconut and chia seeds held together by a little bit of liquid and nut butter.  So very simple.  I’m not claiming I invented them or anything – I’m sure there’s a version of these on many other blogs out there.  But here’s what went into mine. Coconut holes [vegan, gluten free, soy free, FODMAPs free – makes 9 golf ball sized holes] 1 cup + 1/2 cup shredded coconut 1/3 cup maple syrup 1 tbsp… Read more >
