As someone who is not a baker, I was pretty proud of this creation. Now, some people don’t like the texture of baked goods using oat flour as it can be dense or gummy. But I really like the texture of this. It turned out as a dense, muffin-like bake. I made it in a […]
Let’s be real, most of my soup “recipes” are just me dumping whatever veggies I have in the fridge into a pot. And that’s exactly what I’ve done here. I had mushrooms, celery, peppers, cauliflower and a half a jar of tomato paste to use. So I added a few pantry staples and some spices […]
This dish is a combination of some new-to-me ingredients that I wanted to try out: black rice noodles and Za’atar spice blend. I recently discovered black rice noodles in an episode of Jane and Ann Esselstyn’s Youtube show. So I decided to use them here. Regular rice noodles would work just as well, or you […]
Most dressings out there on the market use tons of oil. If you avoid highly processed and refined products like oil, try this oil-free template for dressings. Start with lemon juice and vinegar (or pick one or the other), add a little bit of date syrup, mustard (I like dijon), and any herbs and spices […]
Last week we had a major snowstorm with 10 inches of snow and quite a bit of ice mixed in as well. While the roads were clear enough by the weekend that I could have gone grocery shopping, I didn’t really feel like venturing out. And I have a freezer and pantry stocked up for […]
I like to meal prep, but I usually do it without a plan. I know that sounds like the opposite of what most people tell you to do. But when you learn this method, it takes the stress of planning out of the equation. I cook based on what I have and what looks good […]
Cooking grains in the Instant Pot is so easy. When cooking on the stovetop, my grains always boil over as I’m working on something else, so I love that the IP is hands free. Just dump your chosen grains and liquid, set it, and walk away. Then you will have a big batch to eat […]
This recipe was born because of leftover quinoa flour that needed to be used. I rarely have any kind of flour in the house, and I rarely follow recipes. Despite that, I bought quinoa flour a long time ago for some specific recipe and had just a quarter cup left. I bet any kind of […]
Roasted vegetables are probably my favorite things to eat. In particular, roasted potatoes, of any variety–that’s my jam. But in the past I’ve always doused them in oil before baking in the oven. If you are trying a whole food diet, you may be wondering if you can ever enjoy those golden and crispy roasted […]
