It’s a little early for New Year’s resolutions but here is one of mine: I want to learn to bake! Aaack! I get nervous just thinking about it – the measuring, the need to be precise, the pounds of flour making my clothes look like I was caught in an avalanche and the science experiments […]

Super Decadent Lasagna with Spinach Tofu Ricotta and Mom’s Marinara Sauce
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t. Last winter I posted a recipe for my Gluten-Free Lasagna with Hazelnut Ricotta, Cashew Cheese Sauce and Marinara Sauce. It was a delicious trifecta of vegan, gluten-free and soy-free indulgence. This week Tom gifted me with a new lasagna pan so I thought I would return […]

Gluten-Free Garlic and Rosemary Ciabatta Bread and Bruschetta Spreads
A mentor I had at work once told me that I was like a terrier: once I got my teeth into something, I wouldn’t let it go until I was done with it. Some might say I’m stubborn; I prefer tenacious. I’ve often said here on the blog that I can’t bake. And it was […]
VeganMoFo: "A" is for Apple Walnut Muffins
Welcome to my 1st VeganMoFo post! The “V” Word normally celebrates all the wonders of the incredible “V” word – Vegan – but this month I am going to let all the other letters of the alphabet play too!

Extreme Vegan Makeover: Sweet and Savory Hamentashen Edition
It’s Purim and even though I am baking-challenged, I decided to try and make Hamentashen. And not just any Hamentashen: Vegan and gluten-free Hamentashen. Purim has always been my favorite Jewish holiday. It’s one of the few happy holidays and as I recall, the only one where you get to sit in the synagogue and […]
