Gluten-Free Plum Cobbler (Vegan, Refined Sugar-Free)

September 18, 2015 12 Comments

A Gluten-Free Plum Cobbler made vegan and without refined sugars. An easy and delicious way to say good-bye to summer and to welcome fall!

Last weekend fall whooshed into Kansas City with cooler temps and a seemingly abrupt change of light. But just as suddenly as it appeared, it was gone come Monday morning. It’s been hot, humid, and downright summery again. And as if that wasn’t confusing enough, we (I mean my husband) embarked on painting the concrete floor in our new place. Had it been a plain old concrete finish, we would have left it and been right on our way through the list of remodeling projects still awaiting us. But, as luck would have it, some of the old flooring we removed revealed a huge checkerboard pattern that had been painted on the floor in navy blue and swirly gold. Ugh….

Heirloom Tomato and Ricotta Tart with a Cornmeal Almond Crust (Gluten-Free)

September 10, 2015 12 Comments

This simple gluten-free Heirloom Tomato and Ricotta Tart with a Cornmeal Almond Crust is a great way to savor summer’s best tomatoes.

I have always felt that heirloom tomatoes are the crowning jewels of late summer. Just as with winter citrus, they remind us of the colors that the next season will soon bring. Heirlooms’ deep reds, greens, golds, and yellows seem to foreshadow autumn’s change of scene….

Fudgy Teff Brownies (Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free)

August 27, 2015 17 Comments

These Fudgy Teff Brownies are not only decadently rich, but gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and packed with healthy teff flour.

The school year is now in full swing and I, of course, think daily about what I’m going to have as an after-work treat. Nothing changes, does it? My sister was in town recently and we got into a conversation about our back-to-school rituals when growing up. Mine, even as a grade school kid, was all about writing lists. (Really, nothing changes)….

Frozen Blueberry Mojito (Gluten-Free, Vegan)

August 14, 2015 9 Comments

Blueberry and mint come together with white rum and simple syrup to make this refreshingly cool frozen blueberry mojito cocktail.

A few weeks back we went blueberry picking, driving south of Kansas City, where the city sprawl opens to green fields and two-lane highways. As most days in July, it was hot and humidly oppressive. Our initial plan was to go early to avoid the heat, but somehow we arrived and it was high noon. The cloud cover that we thought would shade us broke wide open and the sun gave us its best glare….

Millet Buckwheat Crispy Treats With Cacao Nibs (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)

July 24, 2015 18 Comments

Easy and healthy, these Millet Buckwheat Crispy Treats with Cacao Nibs are a satisfying gluten-free treat made refined sugar-free with honey!

Nothing makes you appreciate organization more than total chaos. We’ve been in our new home almost three weeks now and working like mad to do some renovations before the two of us head back to work for the upcoming school year. The new place has great bones, character, and mood-lifting light, but there are elements throughout that look like someone threw a party in the mid-90s and forgot to clean up. So, things remain in boxes, shifted this way and that, to make room for the work that needs to be done….

Mango Raspberry Bellini Popsicles

Fresh mangoes and raspberries, honey, and topped off with prosecco, these Mango Raspberry Bellini Popsicles are a perfect summer treat. Gluten-free, refined sugar-free.

The day we got married felt like one of the hottest days in July that Kansas City has ever seen. We were still living in NYC but decided to have the wedding in my hometown, a location that would make things more centrally located for our friends and family coming in from all over the country. The fact that all our favorite people and loved ones were all in one place for that special day is still something that makes my heart overwhelmingly happy. But the heat, and the humidity—let’s not forget the humidity—were of epic proportions. I found myself saying to our visitors, “It’s not usually like this,” or “It gets hot here, but not usually this hot.” It’s as if by saying this I was going to watch the sweat magically disappear from their brows and they would then tell all their friends back home that Kansas City is a wonderful place with really great summer weather. Really.
