Thankful For Thanksgiving

So it's here. The big Thanksgiving week! It really is my favorite Holiday. I love it so much, I just can't believe we get it twice. Like so many, I started out getting stressed on what to make, but really, staying seasonal makes it so much easier. Creating a vegan Thanksgiving menu ...

Gingered Peach Shortbread Bars

You think I would have learned after my adventure with a basket of peaches last year. Yet, here I go again with another overflow of peaches and posts. I like peaches, I really do. Sweet ...

Blueberry Peach Sonker

Really? I didn't know what a "sonker" was either until I looked up what was closest to what I'd made. Just think of it as a cobbler on it's head, I did. So, when I looked up an inverted cobbler, I found Pandowdys, grunts ...

Fantabulous Summer Pea Ravioli

I like peas, actually, I figure most people do, so I can't help but get a little giddy & nostalgic when I see the flooding piles of pea pods carefully anchored in the farmer's crates at market. They're crisp, green, a little dusty but ever ...

Nice Socca

Eons since I've visited the south of France, I was whisked to my memories of the Mediterranean first, by a post by David Lebovitz and again by this book. The books recipe missed elements, like being tested apparently, but it reinforced ...

July Daring Bakers — How Could I Resist?

Sometimes I just look over those great recipes and think; no way, no how. This was one of those months. A cake where the only leavener is a bowlful of pouffy egg whites? How am I going to veganize that? Buttercream? Whipped cream? C'mon - my guests are more than happy with a fruit bowl, right? But then, when I made the original recipe - and tasted it... It would be just plain cruel if I didn't, at the very least, attempt something for everyone to eat.

Rose Infused Strawberry Sorbet

Surrounded by strawberry season, I over thoughtfully tired my search for something outstanding and creative to present for more than just shortcake post of yesteryear. I mean, don't get me wrong, strawberry shortcake is such a classic it's even got a scented doll named after it ...

New Potato Salad With Scape Salsa Verde

Of course with a long weekend ahead I would be lost without a handy potato salad recipe, so here it is. I'm sure not too many of you miss the heavy mayo laden with egg and celery version but not to fret, I'm sure it will still ...

Daring Bakers May: L'Opéra Cake

It's terrible but it's the truth. I almost didn't attempt to veganize this month's Daring Baker Challenge. Daunting to say the least when a cake has a dozen eggs in it to somehow replace. (...And that's not including the other two that were in the buttercream recipe.) After making ...

Palak Paneer Phyllo Triangles

Perfect for using up left overs on just on their own, these little triangles make a great appetizer or side for a soup. It took me a while to dig into Palak Paneer, the Indian creamed spinach with homemade cheese. It wasn't until a friend of mine returned from ...
