To celebrate our 4yr anniversary, I surprised Noah with a chocolate flavoured coconut ice cream. It’s dairy-free and only uses a few tablespoons of honey for a sweetener.
For the cream:
2 cans full fat coconut milk
6 eggs
pinch of salt
4 tablespoons of honey (more or less to taste)
2 heaping tablespoons of cocoa powder (I used green & [...]

frittata, originally uploaded by –Barbara–.
I love frittatas. like a crustless quiche– but even quicker to throw together.
This one is just fried pancetta, leeks, garlic and spring green onions. 6 organic eggs, scrambled, mixed with the goods, s+p and baked in a hot oven for a half hour. If you can tolerate dairy, top with parmesean [...]

I tried doing some pastry making for the first time yesterday… and it was a success! a very delicious one. I used wholemeal spelt flour, and sunflower spread (a dairy-free margarine type thing), and the tart turned out light and flaky. perfect.
Here is the “recipe” I emailed to my mom yesterday… don’t want to bother [...]

homemade donuts made with leftover pizza dough. I must give credit to my two favorite tv chefs, Jamie Oliver and Giada De Laurentiis.
I followed this recipe for the dough, (which made awesome pizza last night) substituting a mixture of wholemeal spelt and plainflour for the white flour. I looooove his show Jamie at Home, where he cooks [...]

“Shrove Tuesday is a day of celebration as well as penitence, because it’s the last day before Lent. Throughout the United Kingdom, and in other countries too, people indulge themselves on foods that traditionally aren’t allowed during Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during [...]

We recently discoverd texas caviar, and it is now a staple in my diet. Warning: very addictive. For Noah’s mom’s birthday dinner on Saturday, I made this salad. The brown rice pasta is great because it is low glycemic & gluten free. So, you don’t have to feel bad for having seconds (or thirds..) of [...]

So, I have been craving scotch eggs for awhile. My dad, being the jolly Englishman that he is, made these for my brother and I when we were young. I was pretty sure they were the best invention ever. Hard-boiled eggs, wrapped in sausage, coated in bread rumbs and deep-fried. Forget egg mcmuffins, these were [...]

Well, this was an experiment today, and boy, it was sooo good. Perfect with a cup of organic white tea with peppermint. It was cold and rainy the past couple of days, so we ate these right out of the oven, and with a slightly gooey center they warmed us right up. The raspberry and pear flavors were still [...]

crepes for a rainy day. buckwheat is awesome, it contains some magical chemicals that have been shown to help people with diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome. serve with a little golden syrup for some edible sunshine (and if you’re not worried about type 2 diabetes).
1 cup milk or milk alternative
3 or 4 eggs
½ cup water
½ teaspoon fine sea [...]

I made these little guys for a brunch we are going to tomorrow at Maggie’s Great-Grandma’s house tomorrow. There may not be any dairy-free veg. things for her so we are coming prepared. These are super simple, but do the trick. I will probably experiment with agave or honey instead of the sugar next time. Baked [...]

This is a great winter soup, that can be made with what ever root veggies you have on hand. I also like making a version of this with carrots and squash. This was also my first attempt at making spelt bread, and it turned out great! Delicious with this soup in fact. I will post [...]

“So, when the craving for pizza hits me, I no longer make a call to some cheap and greasy take-out place… or pop in a frozen pizza with nitrates, preservatives and loads of meat, wheat and dairy. Oh no, I have been strong, and as a result, have come up with a delicious recipe that [...]

This is a super easy and delicious way to start your day. Baby spinach is the suprising star of this drink. Make sure it’s fresh and organic, and it wont taste bitter at all when blended with frozen peaches and pineapple juice. Add a little cinnamon and vanilla, and you’ll [...]

Celtic Sea Salt
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Cinamon
Crushed Walnuts (I use one of these fancy [...]

1 container of Sour Supreme.
1 container of Better than cream cheese (i used the french onion flavor).
1 cup of vegan mayonnaise, any brand.
3 cloves [...]
