You know how I always say "you gotta make these...", well, you gotta make these gluten free Teff and Oatmeal cookies with stuff!  There was a lot of  stuff, too many to list on a title anyway, that I added into the cookie - white chocolate, cranberry and walnuts.  This is a cookie not just for [...]

2022 Christmas Treats – Lebkuchen

I seem to be more obsessed with warming spices and the tastes and memories they conjure up. Whether it’s a subtle way of acknowledging I’m growing older or not, I am embracing it with open arms. This is one of those cookies I’ve always wanted to make but never got around to. Whether it seemed [...]

2021 Christmas Treat #9 – Cardamom Almond Cookies

Think of this recipe as macarons without the tiny perfect semi-circles with the perfect legs and smooth sheen on top.  These are just delightful crunchy and chewy cookies.  Macarons without the heartache of failed but delicious macarons! I do believe macarons are overrated – wait, deliciously overrated. It is something (I think) that takes lots [...]

Spicy Eggplant

Okay, you do not have to make it spicy if you don’t want to (oh my goodness, I can’t believe those words left my lips! I’ve been in isolation way too long)! Actually this was one of my dad’s favorite dishes. It has a balance of sour/sweet from the addition of vinegar and sugar to the [...]

2020 Christmas Treat #5 – Traditional Goan Sweet – Gons

I am adding three Goan sweet recipes to this series – a simple Coconut Sweet - Gons, a more traditional Coconut Cake – Baath, and a roundish Coconut Cookie called Bolinhas, with a twist. Jeez, you’d think coconuts grew on trees back home! My wife and I picked the latter two from a collection of [...]

Spaghetti Squash Dinner

Here’s a delicious low-carb dinner for you. I intended it to be vegetarian (dare I say it, even vegan), by obeying the rules of each, but I didn’t. You can though. I hadn’t made spaghetti squash in years and just happened to see one a few weeks ago at the grocery store. I did pick [...]

Pantry Staples – Vegetarian – Red Lentil, Ginger and Apple

A delightful tasting lentil (dal) dish that is vegetarian and tasty enough even for the carnivores to enjoy. It's a meal on it's own or can be a side to a meal.  I’m using my favorite red lentils for this but you could use any type of lentil, just adjust the cooking time. You can [...]
