Apple Cranberry Crisp
I think you’re an apple crisp person or an apple pie person. Or at least I am, and I fall squarely into the apple crisp camp. I can pass up apple pie anytime because unless the crust is perfect and amazing, which it rarely is, I don’t want it. It just seems like a waste…

Better Than Sex Vegan Rum Caramel Sauce
So, one of the major bummers about a milk allergy is no more caramel. Or at least no more store bought candy with caramel. And I miss that. So by adapting a recipe that was used to make sticky buns, we developed this caramel. The first thing we used it for was to dump over…

Denise’s Really, Really Spicy Pea Soup

Grilled Salsa
It’s still summer and there’s lots of good stuff to pick up at farmstands. So Mary Kate and I got the bright idea to buy a bunch of vegetables and experiment with grilling them this weekend. Although we spent a marathon day grilling, one of the things we wanted to share with you all, was…

Garlic & Ginger Bok Choi
Bok choi is a vegetable which is high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and calcium, and often used in Asian cooking. For those of us who are dairy-free, vegetables high in calcium are a good thing. A relative of the turnip, bok choy has a light sweet flavor, and it’s low in calories. I developed…
