• banana tahini muffins

  

  A question. At what point does an ingredient get to be part of the name for the recipe? Does it need to be a prominent flavor component? Does it need to be a certain percentage of the overall weight of the finished product? I won’t bore you with the details, but today I had the […]

• cherry rye hot cross buns

  

  This is based on 101 cookbooks’ recipe for Black Bread, substituting the carrots and caraway seeds with dried sour cherries. This came about because I’ve been wanting to make hot cross buns, but also wanting to use more rye and whole grains in my bread baking, so this is the culmination of those two goals. I […]

• summer squash, corn and chiles over rice

  

  Summer Squash is abundant in our area, and since Ben worked the local farmer’s market, the other vendors gave him a whole bunch as barter for Ben’s pizza! But other than making zucchini bread, which we will still need to do, Ben cooked one of his typical meals for us tonight, which was awesome! This […]

• Simit (Turkish Bread)

  

  Last week, I came across some cool Turkish copper bowls and serving trays at an antique store. So I bought them! Which then made me think of making something Turkish so I could use the bowls in a post. So I started looking for different recipes, but came across Simit (which are almost like bagels), […]

• Banana Ginger Muffins

  

  I’ll call this Hasty Baking. I should’ve named this blog “The Hasty Baker”, because that’s what I was today! Baking frantically. Baking without reading the recipe from start to finish, and being surprised that ingredients were forgotten, or that they were not in the fridge like I thought they would be! That’s me. That’s what I […]

• 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 […]

• Curried Hummus with Cilantro Almond Pesto

  

       I must say up front that this is a recipe from a co-worker, Janet, who brought this to work recently for a potluck, and I liked it so much that she not only gave me the recipe, but she also gave me a sample of the cilantro pesto to take home. Actually, this is just an approximation […]

• 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 […]

• A Glorious Morning Muffin

  

  I tend not to make new year’s resolutions that are supposed to start strictly on the 1st of January. Rather than do that, I usually start pondering making changes in my life right around the middle of the holidays, and after the 1st will slowly gravitate towards a goal. This has been helpful in making changes […]
