Seed, Nut and Fruit Granola

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I have definitely been inspired! The Boulder farmer’s market has come back into season, and I love it. Although the choices for fresh produce are not as abundant as they will be, it is exciting to see the early greens that are for sale at the organic farm stands, and the beautiful flowers blooming. The […]

Berries and Oat Pie

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

I first became inspired to have a “food blog” after finding some amazing examples online.  One of the top examples that I have enjoyed subscribing to is the Fat Free Vegan Kitchen.  Her recipes are beautiful and so are her photos.  A perfect combination for me.  Every so often I would bookmark her recipes for […]

Apple Cake (Gluten Free)

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

This past fall my beloved gifted me with a private gluten-free cooking lesson with a very talented gluten-free baker. We met Julia of Adaba Foods at the Boulder Farmer’s Market where she sells her gluten-free treats, and were both quite excited about her specialties. I have always wanted to learn more about baking gluten-free, and […]

Banana Buckwheat Pancakes

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

Lazy Sunday mornings, lounging in bed, taking it slowly, and enjoying a long brunch.  Our favorite treat on these days are pancakes.  The pancakes that don’t leave you feeling weighed down afterwards. For those that don’t know, buckwheat is actually not part of the wheat family.  It is a gluten-free grain with a pronounced taste.  […]

Portabello and Spinach Pizza

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

Pizza night is a special occassion in our household. Most specifically because we have found a great gluten free pizza crust. So in addition to this being a pizza recipe, this is also a quick and easy recipe, using a pre-made crust. Our favorite crust comes from Sami’s Bakery. He makes millet and flax pizza […]

Falafel (2 ways)

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Little chickpea patties, perfectly spiced and slightly crunchy on the outside.  Falafel are something that I did not discover until my adult years, but since then, I have made up for the lack.  I have yet to travel to a country where falafel is the specialty, but after trying around, my favorite falafel was at […]

Millet Cornbread

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

Whenever my partner makes chili, the next question that follows is “Wanna make cornbread?”.  We love our Vegetarian Chili recipe, (I will be sure to share it in a future post), and it is almost inevitable that when we have chili, we want cornbread too. When I went to the fridge to start making the batter, […]

A Key West Cookie Creation

Friday, February 6th, 2009

We are back from our Key West vacation, and were happy to find that it is actually warmer in Boulder than it was when we left Key West! It was a nice chance to visit with family and see a few friends, but I realized that my love for cooking and my desire to feed […]

Herbed Polenta Crackers

Monday, January 12th, 2009

I love crackers!  Since I prefer to eat gluten free, most crackers in the store are not an option for me, and since I love to bake and try new recipes, I am always working on home baked crackers and chips.  These polenta crackers are a lot of fun, and really easy to make. I […]
