Apple Cinnamon Gluten-free Vegan Pancakes
My friend Laurie sent me the sample packet of Anti-Grain flours for my birthday, and the first thing that came to mind for apple flour (which is literally just dehydrated apples — an easy ingredient list to tackle) was pancakes. I love pancakes. Denise did pancakes a while back, but I thought pancakes with an…

Curried Apple Bisque
As some of you know, I bought a house in January with a lot of fruit trees. So now I have a lot of apples. I may very well drown in them. Besides the massive amounts of canning I’ve been doing, I thought I’d looking into using them in a savory dish too. And since I needed…

Brown Rice Pulp Chips (+ rice milk)
I occasionally want to use rice milk in cooking, but I really dislike all the commercial rice milks that I’ve tried. I find them thin and flavorless. But in trying to use up some leftover rice, I discovered that by adjusting the amount of water (and using really good rice, I could make a thick,…

DIY Curry Powder

Aquafaba Vegan Salad Dressing
So with the corn allergy all of the vegan mayonnaise products are a big no-no for me, as canola is notoriously cross-contaminated with corn, and I started to react to my favorite product. I haven’t had a safe mayonnaise in over a year. When I saw the aquafaba experiments with mayo, it rang a bell…

Vegan, soy-free Strawberry Ice Cream (using aquafaba)
Okay, full disclosure: This isn’t really ice cream. There’s no cream. There’s no eggs. That’s what makes it vegan. And it’s a little lighter and less creamy and heavy than ice cream. So I should really call it “strawberry frozen dessert.” But frankly, that’s awkward, and if you’re playing in the cooking realms of “vegan”…

Chili Flavored Russet and Sweet Potato Chips
I’ve been meaning to fry stuff for sometime, because I miss fried food and the last time Mary Kate and I had a fry-a-palooza was this past Thanksgiving. And I wanted potato chips. I tried a recipe where you baked them, but it took two hours of prep, and seriously, I can fry them faster…
Got any book recommendations?
