Ohhhhhhhh I have found my most favourite brownies of all time — and they are gluten-free! The lovely Nicole and I had a dinner and a movie night, and after dinner we wanted a little something sweet. I’ve had my eye on a dark chocolate brownie recipe from gluten-free goddess ever since I started eating […]
I did a really good clean out of the fridge today — and realized I didn’t have any ready-to-go healthy food in there. So I immediately put a pot of water on the stove and cooked up some quinoa. I’ve really been enjoying grain salads lately, and quinoa salad is one of my favourites. So […]
I had some of my bridesmaids over for a lovely tea cocktail party, and we of course needed nibblies. The morning of the party, I was preparing all of my dips, spreads, gluten-free crackers, and cocktail ingredients. I then hopped in the shower and had a brainwave!

If there is anything resembling a watermelon salad on a menu, it has to be mine! This salad is so simple, and so it depends on the quality of both the watermelon […]

Prickly pears are the fruit of the prickly pear cactus — the same cactus that bears the nopales leaves I discovered in San Miguel, and used in my black bean quesadillas. My friend Paddy mentioned eating the fruits growing […]
I didn’t quite make it in by July, but phew! Another Daring Cooks’ Challenge, and I get to make my own nut butter! The July 2010 Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by Margie of More Please and Natashya of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies. They chose to challenge Daring Cooks to make their own […]
My favourite adult drink on earth? Mojitos. It’s the mint + lime combo that I love so much, and I was craving it tonight. So I got all mixological with my food processor and made a mojito-inspired dessert: Mango Mojito Sorbet. As long as you have some frozen fruit on hand, you can mix it […]
