Fluffy (gluten-free, low sugar) Brownies
My niece is spending the week with me and while we are having a lot of fun “girl-time” and I’m getting to play tourist in my own town, there is one thing we have to keep track of at all times: Carbs. She has Type 1 Diabetes and everything she eats needs to be accounted…
Green Morning Juice
I’ve been craving a good green juice lately. If you’ve juiced, you know how it is. You also know how much of a hassle it can be to make! When I picked up my CSA box this weekend it included a bunch of dandelion leaves. Now, I’ve tried lots of ways of eating these raw and cooked…
Glazed Beets with Orange and Goat Cheese
This dish takes a bit of prep work but that can be done days in advance. I usually roast a whole batch of beets at once and keep them in the fridge for up to a week to use in a variety of dishes. When you are ready to do the final assembly, make sure you pull your cheese out of the fridge so…
Berry-Avoitrus Smoothie
This smoothie just…happened. I had a handful of strawberries that needed to be used right this very moment, a bruised apple I thought I had better cut up, and after some looking around for other ingredients to throw in the blender, wha-la! This smooth velvety smoothie is now a recipe I will cherish. Ingredients: 6…

Jackfruit Curry
I used the last of my stash of jackfruit on this dish, know I must wait for them to come back in season so I can fill up my freezer again! I decided to go with an orange theme for the veggies to compliment the visual appeal of the jackfruit. Add chilies to your preferred…
Fried Kale Noodles
Super fast, easy dish to get even more kale into your diet! By leaving the garlic cloves whole and adding the lemon slices at the end to warm through, this dish is extremely aromatic without having strong garlic or citrus flavors. A dance of aromas that prepare your pallet for the full flavor! Ingredients: 2 servings of…
Jackfruit Muffins
If you are not yet familiar with the addictive aroma of Jackfruit, this recipe will surround you with the heavenly scent of banana-pineapple deliciousness as the muffins bake in your oven. Why is this is not yet the most popular candle fragrance out there? Fresh Jackfruit is best, but you can find it canned or…
Lemon-scented rolls made in a South African Camp, on Ellie-time
My husband and I had an agreement, if he was going to volunteer in Iraq, I was going to volunteer in South Africa. Not exactly an equal trade, but it was fair. I spent 6 weeks camping, literally a sleeping bag and two person tent which I did in fact share with another person, in…
Rigatoni with Carrot Sauce
I’m doing a pantry-purge…basically refusing to go to the grocery store until I literally can’t make any other dish with what is in my kitchen. I haven’t stepped inside a grocery store since December. I do still get fresh produce once a week from my CSA, so I can live like this for awhile yet….
Making an Apple Pie in Bahrain
I didn’t have access to a car and while I felt safe enough going out on my own in Bahrain, it’s not a great idea to get in a taxi as a single white woman. Therefore, I would have to just walk the 1.7 miles to the closest market.
