Recent Food Explorations [NaBloPoMo]

I’m struggling with what I believe are gluten issues this week.  If I’m right, it explains an awful lot.  I’ll probably be heading over to the doc as soon as I can manage it this week.  Here’s hoping.
If I do have to go gluten free, I’m a bit bummed about what that will mean for [...]

Cake. [NaBloPoMo]

Ok, so it may not be a very glamorous shot – I didn’t have time to do any more than take a quick point-and-shoot photo the day I made this – but I did mention making Orange Dreamsicle Snack Cake.  I really wish I’d gotten a better pic, because it’s really yum.  Really rich, but [...]

Birthday Goodies, Part Deux… [NaBloPoMo]

To continue…assuming anyone’s reading this somewhat self-indulgent display of received gifts. ^_-
Just like last year I got a gift certificate from my folks to Amazon, and also just like last year I spent a couple of weeks deciding what I wanted.  Totally skipped anything practical this year (I’d feel guilty, but due to a family [...]

Whew!

Long time no post, eh?
Well, as I’m sure it is for a lot of y’all, there’s a lot keeping me busy right now.  Just trying to keep above water, ya know?
So – last minute changes have me making cookies as a quick gift for a moved up Christmas celebration – so far I’ve made Breakfast [...]

Woohoo – New Bread to Try

Via The Village Vegan’s blog (now defunct, I believe), I’ve found the most luscioius-looking chocolate bread recipe to try.  The recipe is apparently not to sweet, and it’s creator split the dough 8 ways to make rolls.  Sounds perfect.  Yummy chocolate goodness with portions built in.  Can’t go wrong with *that*, right…. **grin**

Vegan Southern Comfort Food

I had the most fabulously trashy meal last night – nothing reasonably healthy about it other than the fact it was free of cholesterol.  Meet my dinner:
One project I’m hoping to get pulled together is a ‘zine of trashy, not-so-healthy vegan grub.  I’m working on these ribs right now – there is a rib recipe [...]
