Socca Pizza {gluten-free}
I have a slight obsession with socca, the flatbread made from chickpea flour. There’s something really satisfying about chickpea flour used in this way – it’s somewhat bread-like, but not in the dry, puffy sort of way. The socca has a unique, and as Shane observed, almost potato chipish flavour; my favourite part is the…

Polenta, Tomato and Mozzarella “Sandwiches”
Lunch always seems to be the mystery meal of the day; I usually don’t know what I’m going to have until I see something in the fridge that catches my eye. Today I spied some packaged polenta, so I thought slices of crispy fried polenta topped with tomatoes and fresh mozzarella would be tasty, sort…

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…

Gluten-Free Almond Cupcakes
Although I don’t have a particularly sweet tooth (I’ve been known to have chocolate eggs in the cupboard from one Easter to the next), every once in a while I crave a flaky pastry or a slice of cake to have for dessert or with afternoon tea. These cupcakes are the perfect treat; tasty and…

Quick and Easy Salmon Cream Pasta
Our local grocery store had a great deal on fresh wild Sockeye salmon the other day, so we bought a good-sized fillet to have for supper. We had some leftover, so the following night, I threw together this really simple, but very tasty, creamy pasta sauce using the cooked salmon. You could use fresh salmon,…

Coconut Almond Granola {gluten-free, refined sugar-free}
Just now while I was washing the dishes, dancing around with Emmy to “Surrender” by Electric Light Orchestra, I remembered reading recently that nuts and seeds, like almonds and pumpkin seeds, are good to eat when exercising. So I thought this would be a great time to whip up a batch of this nutty, crunchy…
