I’ve been pretending today is Saturday. The cold below-freezing weather in Seattle has given way to rain and, in the spirit of a damp Saturday morning, I decided to make some gluten-free corn muffins. It’s always so cozy to have the oven on and something baking on a dreary December day. These would be a great […]

Whipped Coconut Cream
I’m way behind on the whipped coconut cream thing. I had it for the first time recently on top of an apple pie-ish dessert when my mom was visiting earlier this month and we went out for dinner. I’d seen it sweep the blogosphere over the last few years, but had never gotten it together to […]
Challah (Braided Bread)
I grew up eating challah on special occasions (those being when my mom felt like making it, or when we would buy a loaf on Fridays from one of the local markets). Challah is a Jewish braided bread eaten on holidays and Shabbat (the Sabbath). This year Hanukkah begins the day before Thanksgiving and lasts […]
Rosemary-Sage Butternut Squash Soup
Apparently Thanksgiving is hurdling towards us quite quickly! I, for one, woke up this morning shocked that we’re already practically to mid-November. I’ll post a Thanksgiving recipe round-up soon to help with some ideas for the big day, but I thought this might be a nice main dish option. Soup is generally a non-traditional main […]
Smoky Pumpkin Pasta
There’s something about the weather turning cold and rainy that makes me crave macaroni and cheese. I’ve tried dozens of vegan mac and cheese dishes at restaurants and at home — some better than others. This doesn’t really pretend to be mac and cheese but it fulfills that same creamy comfort food craving — featuring […]
Barbecue Jackfruit Sliders
I don’t know about you, but my southern relatives eat “barbecue.” And when they say barbecue, they mean “pulled pork,” usually in sandwich form. Growing up in “The North” (i.e., Pennsylvania), this always confused me since people in Pittsburgh would talk about having “a barbecue,” which could mean eating any number of things. Nope. Where my Virginia […]
Pumpkin Pancakes
When I was a kid, my mom used to make this amazing pumpkin cake. It was moist, pumpkiny and nicely accented with fall spices. I’ve been craving pancakes lately, hence the recent savory zucchini pancakes, followed by the zucchini bread pancakes. Are we seeing a pattern here? Uh oh. I’ve also been reminiscing about that pumpkin cake and thought I should […]
Onion Rings
I am so excited to share this awesome recipe with you! It is everything I hoped for and everything you would want in an onion ring. Crispy, delicate, flavorful, and not greasy. These are not deep fried; they’re made in the oven and they are not difficult to make. To give you some backstory. I […]
Autumn Morning Glory Muffins
As I recall, I didn’t have my first morning glory muffin until later in life than I probably should have. I remember it well. I got one from Rainbow Grocery on Capitol Hill in Seattle and loved it (this was well before it, sadly, closed). I’ve been thinking about morning glory muffins a lot lately […]
Zucchini Bread Pancakes
Just in time for the weekend, here’s a recipe for a great Saturday morning breakfast or brunch. Not to be mistaken for the savory zucchini pancakes from last week, these are breakfast pancakes that taste just like zucchini bread. I’ve been daydreaming about these for a while now, imagining what they might taste like and […]
