Roasted Strawberries

Sunday, April 20th, 2014

Are you loving Spring so far?  No matter where you live, Spring can be a mixed-bag.  The excitement of warmer days can get momentarily crushed by a surprise snow storm and the beauty of spring blossoms can also bring allergies for some.  Personally, I feel like it is all worth it though.  The days get […]

Saturday, October 29th, 2011

Mom I know you are probably making some faces right now…maybe a few sounds affects too.  Something to the sentiment of “yuck!” or “eww!”  But keep reading, because I think you are going to like this. You see, my mother hates cilantro.  She says it tastes like soap in her mouth, and I know she […]

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

Lately I have been wondering why I haven’t seen rhubarb at the Santa Fe Farmer’s Market.  I feel like I have seen other bloggers making rhubarb deliciousness, and was wondering where it could be.  I am used to rhubarb being a symbol of springtime, and finally discovered it on Saturday at a local farmer’s stand.  […]

How do you like your gluten free waffles?

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

For the past 3 weeks or so I have been creating a recipe for Gluten Free Belgian Waffles.  It has been awesome!  I found a spectacular waffle iron at a local thrift shop here in Santa Fe, NM and since then have been whipping up variations of gluten-free waffles, attempting to create the perfect balance […]

Mele in Cartoccio – Baked Apples

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

I lucked out at Vitamin Cottage again the other day.  More $1 bags of organic apples…  So I bought two.  I recreated my Raw Apple Sauce recipe and then decided to whip up an old favorite: Mele in Cartoccio.  I first discovered this recipe while I was living in Florence, Italy.  I used to collect […]

Raw Apple Sauce

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

Ever since I moved out West, I have been a big fan of Vitamin Cottage.  I find it more down-to-earth than Whole Foods, and with better prices on most items…and has more gluten-free, health geared options than Trader Joe’s.  So, a large percentage of my shopping is completed here… But I am definitely one to […]
