• honey peanut cookies

  

  These cookies grew on me the longer I sampled them. At first, they didn’t impress me much, but as I sampled them throughout the course of the day, the flavor, to me, improved and I appreciated them for what they didn’t have as much as for what they did have. Two ingredients set this apart,…

• buckwheat chocolate cherry muffins

  

  How are you doing? It’s Summertime in the Pacific Northwest! Which means fresh cherries, and my favorite combo–Chocolate and Cherry! And a buckwheat experiment. And still have a few more cups of buckwheat, so stay tuned. I think the last time I had buckwheat was in the form of cold buckwheat soba noodles served with a…

• cassava cake with macapuno

  

  I know what you are thinking. “Um…this is not a cake.”  I kinda agree. These are more like bars to me. But not anytime while I was growing up did I hear anyone call them bars. It’s always been called cassava cake. I was tempted to call them “cassava bars” here. But I feel I need to…

• coconut mango latiya

  

  Hello! What a long week it has been! How is everyone? I don’t know how it feels for other food bloggers, but sometimes for me it feels rather odd to blog about something like pastry cream when there are a number of serious current events in one’s country and around the world. Does that make…

• magic cassava coconut cake

  

  My mother used to bake mainly during Christmas, and occasionally for a few other events. She cooked a lot more than she baked. Having 5 children and working full time, she was an extremely time constrained individual, yet found the time to make home cooked meals for us on most nights, and we happily ate them…

• raw gluten-free vegan carrot cake

  

  Can you believe I’m actually posting something that’s raw, gluten-free, and vegan? I barely believe it myself! But it’s so good! I mean that it’s good enough for dessert. But! If you go into this thinking it will taste just like carrot cake with all the eggs and dairy and gluten, you might not like…

• gluten-free fennel cupcakes with beet frosting

  

  A few days ago I saw some fennel bulbs and red beets that looked really enticing. It was in some fancy-schmancy grocery store way up north of the city. Even though the peak season for fennel is more during winter than spring, and beets are more of a summer thing, I had been wanting to use…

• Vegan and Gluten-Free Blueberry Mini Muffins

  

  Today is my birthday. I’m now closer to fifty than forty, which is something I’m still in disbelief about. Happy Birthday to me. Sigh. There are usually two times a year that I think of healthy eating. One is on New Year’s Day, and the other is my birthday, roughly three months later. And it’s not…
