Double Chocolate Mocha Biscotti
Posted on April 14, 2009
These Double Chocolate Mocha Biscotti are vegan and gluten-free. Because eggs are a main component of biscotti, I haven’t seen a lot, if any vegan recipes, for this type of cookie. My favorite thing about these gluten-free biscotti, however, is how simple they are to make. Just throw everything in the food processor and you’re

Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart
Posted on April 7, 2009
How low can you go?! This gluten free chocolate peanut butter tart is sweetened with a delicious alternative sweetener that I have been enjoying of late –yacon syrup. This lower glycemic sweetener is derived from the yacon plant which is often referred to as “apple of the earth.” Yacon is high in fructooligosacharides (FOS), a

Chocolate Covered Cherries
Posted on February 6, 2009
Ok, I confess, it took a few batches to get this recipe “just right,” which for me means a couple of things. First, I had to get these babies to to look decent, edible, desirable even. Let’s just say my first attempts were rather inept. I tried to make a rich and gooey sauce with

Raw “Tapioca” Pudding
Posted on January 23, 2009
Chia seeds are my new favorite food! Rich in fatty acids, these seeds contain more omega-3′s than any other vegetarian source. They are also quite high in anti-oxidants, minerals and fiber. Further, I find that they are quite soothing for my digestive system (and I’m always looking for a boost in that realm). I got

Accidental Mocha Mousse
Posted on November 28, 2008
We had a super quiet Thanksgiving, which was fine with me. It was just the 4 of us and we ended up making even less food than I had planned. Around 4 pm we sat down to dinner, which was a delicious turkey (roasted by my darling husband, he really is a man of many

Don’t let all those labels scare you though, more than

Chocolate Prune Truffles
Posted on October 31, 2008
This delicious, healthy and somewhat sophisticated treat is not too sweet, making a great candy for adult palates. It may appeal to the younger crowd as well –my 10 year old ate a dozen of these and then packed more in his school lunch. Along with their rich chocolate-prune flavor, these vegan truffles are packed

Orange Chocolate Coconut Clusters
Posted on October 3, 2008
New Year, new school. Wow, this week has been busy. The boys have settled miraculously into their new habitat and I can feel the relief flowing through my body. My favorite comment this week was from Melissa, a reader who said, “It’s hard, but before you know it, they will adjust and be just fine.

Peach Crisp

The boys’ school is selling organic peaches. I ordered two cases (about 40 lbs.) for my family; we will be getting our luscious Colorado fruit this Friday at 3 pm. In the meantime, I am readying my peach recipes. Of course, my all time favorite is peach crisp. It is perfect for fall, which incidentally

Rich and decadent Rosemary Chocolate Truffles rolled in cocoa powder. Last night was the conclusion of a “grand” Memorial Day weekend. My parents came in and took the boys down to the Boulder Creek Fest where they all had a blast. There was much spoiling –meals out, bowling, batting practice at the amusement park and

Raw Chocolate Fudge

A few of my favorite things? Coaching baseball. Growing vegetables. Walking on a sunny day. Hanging with my husband late at night after the boys have gone to bed. Cooking with children –of any age. Recently I have had the opportunity to teach cooking to my son’s third grade class. This has been great fun.

Purim is this Friday, March 21st, less than one week away. For those who aren’t familiar with Purim, it is a festival as opposed to a major holiday or “holy day.” Purim involves the story of the attempted destruction of the Jewish people, the subsequent escape to “freedom” and much feasting, a set of themes

Vegan Chocolate Pudding
Posted on January 25, 2008
This past fall, the food editor of The Denver Post wrote an article on “addictive” food blogs called Join me as I jump into the blog. Not only was I surprised to find my blog in it, I was dumbfounded that Elana’s Pantry was mentioned in the same piece as Heidi Swanson’s 101 Cookbooks. Swanson
