  • Gluten-Free Yorkshire Pudding

    Gluten-Free Yorkshire Pudding

    Yorkshire Pudding has always been one of my favourite foods…but not exactly the healthiest when made with all purpose wheat flour. Since I’ve been trying to eat less of that sort of thing, I’ve been trying to think of what I can have instead of sandwiches for lunches and bread with supper. I was trying

  • A Little Bit Cheesy Cream of Broccoli Soup

    A Little Bit Cheesy Cream of Broccoli Soup

    Another soup recipe for these lingering frosty winter days – and another that I’ve been thinking about for a while…creamy, cheesy broccoli soup. I’ve always loved the flavours of broccoli and cheddar cheese together; the creamy tang of the cheese just seems to complement the slight bitterness of the broccoli so well.

  • Almost-Instant Watercress Soup

    Almost-Instant Watercress Soup

    I waited too long to think about lunch today, so suddenly it was 1:30 and I was starving! I had no idea what I was going to have, and then I remembered Russell’s broccoli soup recipe. I had some watercress in the fridge, and I wondered how it would be in a soup. The result

  • Arugula, Watercress, Avocado and Goat Cheese Salad with Pomegranate Molasses

    Arugula, Watercress, Avocado and Goat Cheese Salad with Pomegranate Molasses

    Last year was the first time I had ever bought pomegranate molasses. When I was at the Pike Place Market in Seattle, I happened upon a market stall called The Souk, and I spied the unprepossessing bottle sitting on the shelf with it’s brownish coloured contents. Although I’d never tasted it before, I had a

  • Chili-Style Black-Eyed Peas

    Chili-Style Black-Eyed Peas

    I haven’t seen very many recipes using Black-Eyed Peas, and I’m not really sure why, because they’re just as tasty and healthful as other legumes, and they cook in less time than most other types of beans. I’ve been making a vegetarian chili type of dish for years, using a mixture of black and kidney

  • Einkorn Flour Sandwich Bread

    Einkorn Flour Sandwich Bread

    The first time I noticed einkorn flour at the grocery store, I just assumed it was like spelt; another ancient grain wheat variation. After a bit of research, I discovered that it is, in fact, wheat – however, it is the original wheat, the grain that existed before being hybridized by humans. According to information

  • Panisse

    Panisse

    Yet another chickpea flour recipe! This recipe, also popular in France, originally hails from Italy; I was surprised to learn that chickpeas have been eaten in the Mediterranean area since at least 7000 BC: “Chickpea, one of the oldest cultivated pulses in the Near East. Chickpeas were grown in Palestine by 8000 BC. They had

  • Chickpea Crackers {gluten-free}

    Chickpea Crackers {gluten-free}

    Once I discovered how much I liked the flavour of socca, I started wondering what other things could be made with chickpea flour…such as crackers. I’d had store-bought chip-like things before made with chickpeas, which were really tasty, so I imagined it could probably work, but these chip things had other types of flours in

  • Poached Eggs with Mushroom Cream Sauce

    Poached Eggs with Mushroom Cream Sauce

    We have a farmers market about a block away from us that runs all summer long every Thursday. On my visit today I found some perfect little green beans; I wish I could remember the variety, they are slim and tender, like baby beans. I couldn’t think what to have with them (with limited fridge
