Breakfast Bars
Posted in the breakfasts category on June 16, 2009
These hearty breakfast bars remind me of a granola bar or an omega-3 packed power bar. They’re filling and tasty. After I made a batch of these and was waiting for them to cool before cutting and stylizing them for a “photo shoot,” my younger son proudly taunted me that he had picked out all

These vegan, gluten free Cranberry Orange Biscotti are delicious with a cup of tea or after dinner as a light (or lite) treat. My younger son thinks these are delicious and packed some in his lunch last night for today…the last day of school. Summer. Hooray! The boys are very happy to be free. And

Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream
Posted in the desserts category on May 23, 2009
This is my favorite ice cream. It’s vegan. It’s vanilla. And it’s yummy. I’ve been making this ice cream for the last couple of years. Way back when in my New York days, my raw food friends turned me on to the fact that cashews make an amazing substitute for dairy. While I love this

I’ve been on a quest this week for gluten-free dairy-free twinkies and after several attempts (make that 7) I seem to have come up with a good approximation of this infamous Hostess treat.
