Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Cake

February 23, 2010

Easy. Moist. Lemony. These are words that describe this cake, but they in no way do it justice.
Amazing? Now, that’s more like it.

I made this cake over the weekend with the intention of including it in part 2 of my “When Life Gives You Meyer Lemons” series. But then I decided this cake needed [...]

Meyer Lemon Pudding (Mostly Raw and Vegan)

January 18, 2010

When I found Meyer lemons at my local Hannaford’s market last week, I did a little happy dance.

I’ve been hoping they’d show up in my area for many weeks now, ever since I saw this Meyer lemon tart recipe over at Food52.

Gluten-Free Coffee Almond Cookies

January 5, 2010

This recipe for gluten-free coffee almond cookies is ridiculously easy, and the results are ridiculously good.

These are made with no flour at all, so they don’t contain gluten (or empty calories, for that matter). Ground almonds take the place of the flour, so they’ve got lots of nutrients and fiber. They are also quite [...]

Real Hot Chocolate

December 22, 2009

I’m a big fan of hot drinks, especially in the winter.
Teas of all sorts, flavored coffees, spiced cider, even just plain old warm water with some lemon squeezed in..heat it up and I’ll happily drink it.
Here’s one of my absolute favorites, though…real hot chocolate (meaning there is no water or processed hot chocolate mix involved) [...]

December 20, 2009

I love cookbooks, and I’m of the opinion that you can never have too many.
I’ve got quite a few (here are some that currently reside in my kitchen)…

…but when Kalyn posted this list, I realized that I only had one or two books written by food bloggers. Since I’m a food blogger (obviously) and a [...]

The first time I made Indian Pudding was for dessert last Thanksgiving. Because I am serving this pumpkin cheesecake, I decided not to make Indian Pudding again this year. But I love this dessert so much that I made it last week, and I’m sharing it with you now just in case you need another [...]

I happen to love pumpkin cheesecake. It’s up there with my favorite desserts of all time, and it makes a great Thanksgiving dessert. I have made this pumpkin cheesecake recipe [...]
