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
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
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

I’ve been making a vegetarian chili type of dish for years, using a mixture of black and kidney…

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}
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
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…
