People often ask me where I shop for groceries, which is why I put the links on the right hand side of my blog under, “Can’t find my ingredients…” However, I’ve had a few people also ask me, but what do you buy from one store, and what do you buy from another? Good question….
Ginger & mock Peanut Dressing
With the 90 degree heatwave we’ve been having here in northern Colorado, I haven’t been wanting to use the oven at all. One way I like to fill up without cooking anything is by having salad with lots of nuts and seeds. In this salad I threw in some chopped apples, sesame and Hemp Seeds,…
do-it-yourself Cream of Buckwheat
Despite having just gone to Costco, I couldn’t find anything for breakfast this morning. We ate almost everything that came in our Door to Door Organics box already, and no one was feeling in the mood for smoothies. Mornings in Colorado can be kind of cool, since the temperature drops so dramatically at night, like…
Recovering Ashley
This month everyone is talking about gluten, because it’s Gluten-Free Awareness Month. Some of my friends have shared their own personal stories, and I had this little birdie on my shoulder lately telling me that there is something I should share too. Only it isn’t my story, it’s Ashley’s story, or the abridged version anyway…
Cheese Importers, goat & sheep cheese, tea, jam, houseware & more
There is a European style marketplace in Longmont, CO that is so cute I want to eat it up. Cheese Importers has a refrigerated room, which houses the best collection of sheep and goat milk cheeses* I’veever seen. Started in 1976, Cheese Imports is local family business, which is now run by son, Samm (below),…
Easy Oven Omelette, gluten-free, dairy-free
Andy and I have been so busy lately, working on our next books. He is nearly finished with his book on his grandfather’s battalion in WWII (they moved supplies in Normandy), which I have been working on as well (editing), and I am nearly finished with my second cookbook—Yay! After my day with the girls…
Cherry-licious Smoothies made with date sweetened nut milk
So, you know how I posted the Almond Latte-licious the other day? Well the foam is really best the day it’s made. You can blend it again the day after, but you hardly get any foam. That’s why I decided to use the rest of that yum-o date sweetened nut milk to make these, Cherry-licious…
Almond Latte-licious
Photo by Zoe This may look like a moo milk latte, but it isn’t. It’s an almond latte with foam and everything. And it rocks. I don’t know if you could get the foam with a regular blender, but all you guys with a Vita-Mix or Blendtec—listen up! Here’s how you do it: Make your…
Lets talk about Coconut Sugar / Coconut Sap
Recently a reader emailed me to ask if I had heard of coconut sap. “Coconut sap” is a brilliant name for what I’ve been calling “coconut sugar.” Why do I prefer that term? Because the term, “sugar”, is associated with white refined sugar, which is very bad for you. White refined sugar contributes to all sorts…
