Step Aside Peanut Butter: Maple Pecan Butter Recipe

This nut butter is like pecan pie in a jar.

(Yes, you can eat it for breakfast, and no, I’m not joking around.)

2-in1 Recipe: Massaman Curry & Paste

I love Thai food – however, saying that, I always get the same dish when I eat out: Massaman Curry. This is one of my all-time favourite curries, but I think a lot of people bypass it for a trusty Pad Thai or Green Thai Curry instead. If you’ve never tried Massaman Curry, now’s your chance!

Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream (No Ice Cream Makers Required!)

So, I’ve been meaning to post about about a great day off I had a little while ago. It went a little something like this:

Gluten Free Rosemary Parmesan Crackers

Blogging is definitely more of a winter sport for me; it’s hard to justify sitting in front of a computer when I could be reading in the park on a sunny day – so, sorry about the sparse posts this summer! Once cool weather hits again I will be more diligent about posting regularly.

I started making gluten free crackers when I wanted to have more quick gluten free snacks on hand.

Moisturizing Sugar & Coconut Body Scrub Recipe

Hello everyone! This week is just a quick recipe inspired by the thyme plant that is happily growing in my garden. I don’t have a picture of it, but chicken salad is never that pretty anyway.

Warm Lentil Salad with Sunflower Seeds & Roasted Root Vegetables

Ok, so this is not the most seasonal of recipes, but a couple weeks ago I had the most fantastic roasted purple carrots in a restaurant, and since then I’ve been on a carrot kick. Growing up, I hated cooked carrots, so this new love of carrots is quite a surprise to me.

Mmmm, crackers. Who doesn't like crackers? They're comfort food. They're convenience food. But healthy food? Usually not.

I wanted to share this recipe for some great looking gluten free crackers made with brown rice and quinoa; I have a cracker recipe that I love, which is pretty similar to these, but uses ground nuts as the base instead. This version would probably be a bit cheaper to make, but still has protein and good fats in there to help keep you feeling full and energized!

The Good Things in Life (knitting, moms, ponies, sunshine & coconut milk ice cream)

Wow, has it been a few weeks since I posted?! I have a huge backlog of gluten free recipes that I want to post… unfortunately they are all stored in my mind or scrawled on scraps of paper, instead of …

Superfood Seaweed: Kombu

If you had asked me what “kombu” was a few months ago, I would have had no idea what you were talking about (and I think a lot of people living in England or America would have the same response.) So for those of you who are still scratching you head, read on.
