Cashew Pulp Crackers {gluten-free}
I hate to throw anything useful away, and every time I make nut milk, I always think there must be something that could be made with the pulp that’s leftover, besides just drying it out and saving it as flour. As luck would have it, I recently came across a recipe for Rosemary Raisin Almond…

Homemade Burger Buns
Nothing fills the kitchen with comforting, appetizing aromas like freshly baked goods, but I’ve been eating a few too many doughy things lately, so I’ve been trying out a few recipes with the so-called ivory whole wheat flour

Summery Sangria
Sangria is one of those drinks that is just the perfect refreshment for the long, sweltering days of summer with it’s sweet, juicy flavour. The Rioja wine is excellent for this; the dry, rich flavour goes so well in a sangria. The cherry brandy makes it addictive.
