Dark and Rich Gingerbread
Rich, dark and spicy gingerbread is one of my favourite winter treats. I’ve also been thinking about adding pumpkin to more recipes, because it adds moisture and depth of flavour, and is so nutritious. The cup of pumpkin puree in this recipe adds an extra 8 grams of fibre, as well as lots of Vitamin…

Lime Tarts
A couple of weeks ago, I fortuitously discovered the ambrosia that is the Passionfruit Tart from Ken’s Patisserie, here in Portland. Emmy and I were out for a walk, and I thought I would just stop in for a small treat. At the first bite, I said to myself “this is one of the best…

Oat Flour Pancakes {gluten-free}
I found this recipe about 15 years ago in a magazine called “American Health”, and it’s been a favourite ever since. This was before the gluten-free diet became well-known, but it was listed as a superfoods recipe in the magazine because it was made with oats, and had an accompanying blueberry sauce recipe, which I’ll…

Beach House Weekend {and a dairy-free, gluten-free cheesecake}
Shane and I were very generously invited by a friend to spend the weekend at a beach house in Lincoln City, Oregon. It was her birthday, as well as two others’, so she rented the house as a special treat, and invited several of her friends to celebrate.

Zimtsterne – Gluten-Free Cookies
I was browsing David Lebovitz’s site today, and I came across his post on Zimtsterne; delicious looking star-shaped cinnamon cookies which he buys from “Stohrer, Paris’ oldest pastry shop”. He didn’t have a recipe on the site, but one of the commenters, someone named Alisa, had posted a German recipe with her comment. So I…

Chocolate Hazelnut Sauce
I’ve made this sauce so many times, it doesn’t really even seem like a recipe…but it’s convenient to know how to make an easy chocolate hazelnut sauce. I came up with this recipe while trying to recreate my favourite bistro crêpe (strawberries with chocolate-hazelnut sauce). I had started out using a store-bought chocolate-hazelnut spread, but…
