I’ve been making this recipe quite often lately as bananas seem to ripen too quickly in the summer heat. I found the recipe here, but I used ground almonds instead because I didn’t have any walnuts on hand (and no, I didn’t toast them and it still tastes fine!) This recipe uses whipped eggwhites to [...]
This year I made gluten free mini-tarts for my husband’s birthday. This was a favorite treat his grandma used to make him, but he hasn’t been able to eat one ever since becoming gluten free. I’ve simplified this recipe from the elaborate one in the CIA’s Gluten Free Baking cookbook, so it’s easier to whip [...]
Last year I made an Irish soda bread for St. Patrick’s Day using the usual gluten free all purpose mix flour with xanthan gum, but it was crumbly and dry, so I wasn’t happy with it. This year I tried the soda bread recipe from my new cookbook: Gluten Free Baking with the Culinary Institute [...]

What could I make with all of these wonderful ingredients? I had no recipes at home using buckwheat and blueberries, so I combined a couple different recipes [...]
This is the first year I’ve had the chance to try out gardening in the community garden on my street. I was lucky enough to inherit quite a few plants that were already growing there – collard greens, oregano, lemon balm, and fennel.
The interesting thing about fennel is that it grows QUICKLY, much like a [...]

This recipe was featured on Good Morning America, and it is so satisfying with a glass of milk (regular or soy of course!)

Pinch cream of tartar
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
