  • Morning Glory Overnight Oats

    Morning Glory Overnight Oats

    At the end of last year, I took a very cold trip out to the SeaTac airport area for a writing seminar with Anne Heffron. She walked us through a lot of exercises designed to help us figure out why we would take a very cold trip out to an airport hotel on a Friday…

  • Chai Spiced Granola Bars

    Chai Spiced Granola Bars

    I miss the convenience of buying a Nature Valley Granola bar, and calling it good for breakfast. Since they’re not safe for me, and since I needed to trial some cane syrup I bought, I went poking around the Interwebs and found this recipe that I modified. Sadly, the cane syrup was a big fail…

  • Gluten-free Vegan Almond or Cashew Brownie Cookies

    Gluten-free Vegan Almond or Cashew Brownie Cookies

    So, back in 2012, I thought I’d achieved brownie nirvana with my At Last Brownies recipe. I’d perfected a “normal” baking brownie in the year before, and this was my great gluten-free version. Then Denise posted her Killer Brownies recipe, adjusted for her then-allergies. Lately, neither of these versions is working great for me. I…

  • Vichyssoise — dairy-free

    Vichyssoise — dairy-free

    I am cheating here. You should know that up front. It is still condiment month around here, but rules that we make for ourselves are made to be broken, right? I could work out a long reason to connect cold potato soup, Memorial Day observances, and condiments, but let’s not. Let’s say that it’s getting…

  • Cashew Butter and Chocolate Cashew Butter

    Cashew Butter and Chocolate Cashew Butter

    So this is the last recipe post of breakfast month.  One of the things I miss having for breakfast is a toasted bagel or a toasted slice of bread with some thinly spread butter and some thickly spread peanut butter on top of that. The peanut butter gets all warm and gooey and it’s a…

  • Garlic Potato Scallion Snacks

    Garlic Potato Scallion Snacks

    In February, we’ve decided to play with garlic. Mmmmm, garlic. It’ll keep the vampires away, but it’s also good for colds and such. I’m guessing, with the load of elephant garlic I just roasted, we’ll just keep people far enough away not to share germs? Garlic is such an excellent base flavor for so many…

  • Cashew-Ginger Hummus

    Cashew-Ginger Hummus

    This recipe came out of what I had in the house when I wanted to bring some hummus over to Denise’s for a gathering. Denise is allergic to sesame, an allergy I understand is becoming more common, but not allergic to cashews. I’m not sure how common this combo is, but if your diet allows…

  • Homemade Margarine, New and Improved

    Homemade Margarine, New and Improved

    Some of you may remember when I posted about my margarine experiments in a Whatever Wednesday post. I’ve been using it for a while, but I wasn’t completely happy with it. The psyllium husk powder I used as an emulsifier didn’t melt well when I wanted to use it for things like lobster and there were gummy bits.…
