Last year our rhubarb plant did not survive the previous winter so we planted a new one and took extra care to protect it this past winter. I was so happy to see it sprouting up through the earth this spring. It is thriving and we can already see that it has multiplied into a few other plants. So … [Read more...]
Mother’s Day Carrot Cake | Vegan

The boys gave me flowers and we … [Read more...]
Banana Oat Buckwheat Pancakes | Vegan & Gluten Free
This month has been whizzing by. Sometimes I feel as though I can't keep up.

Spicy Stewed Greens | Vegan & Gluten Free
Greens. Greens. Greens. Gimme all the greens. Greens are a staple to many cuisines throughout the world. But, I feel like much of America is lacking in traditional greens dishes.

Homemade Soy Yogurt & Labneh Tutorial
Yogurt. I love it but have been so disappointed with the store-bought varieties of non-dairy yogurts. They are all full of thickeners, flavorings, additives and sugar, yuck!

Lemony Sweet Pea & Buttercup Brown Rice Risotto with Roasted Cauliflower & Celery
When I discovered, serendipitously, how wonderful sweet brown rice is as risotto, unctuous dreamy risotto, I was hooked. This rice seems impossible to overcook, it retains that al dente bite you expect in risotto, and is oh so creamy, no matter how much liquid it absorbs. We like to make this … [Read more...]
