• guguria

  

  After six years since the first (and last) time I made these, I finally figured out how to make these properly. In the back of my mind, it’s been bugging me. There are probably a handful of recipes from this blog that I’m just a little dissatisfied with; recipes that I’d like to retry or…

• guava poppy seed heart cake

  

  Happy February! Ben and I are just hanging out watching Superbowl LII (I had to look that up; Ben’s the real football fan. I mainly watch it for the commercials!) and baking and cooking.  I’m the baker, Ben’s the cook. Ben is making dinner plus some make-ahead food for the week, and he’s boiling something, I…

• 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…

• The Great Meat Imposter: Unripe Jackfruit

  

  I’m not usually a fan of vegan or vegetarian dishes that try to mimic meat dishes. But this is an exception. This I had to try! Over the years, I’ve noticed more and more posts of unripe jackfruit in recipes claiming it is just like pulled pork. I had to see for myself. It’s definitely grown…

• 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…

• 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…
