Gluten-Free Banana Nut Bread Recipe

Warm from the oven gluten-free banana nut bread. Just a fad?

Gluten-Free Banana Nut Bread


As Celiac Awareness Month dawns I thought I might celebrate with a banana bread recipe. This is a banana bread so tasty, tender and fragrant, you won't care it is gluten-free. And you might even tempt the naysayers. And the unbelievers.

You know who I'm talking about.

Out there in the cold cruel world, Darling, some folks apparently (still) view our gluten-free lifestyle through a jaded foodie lens, believing, first of all, that gluten-free anything is never going to taste anything but awful, and second, that this whole gluten-free trend (their word not mine) is a fad not worthy of serious consideration and compassion. Apart from the standard (and always brief) lip service that non-afflicted food writers, non-GF bloggers and journalists pay to celiac disease, adhering to the medical treatment that is a gluten-free diet is degraded- for that sexy topical hook- to a "bandwagon". An eating disorder.

A diet by choice.

They dub it a controversy.

As my twelfth year of living gluten-free marches on, I find myself reflecting not upon the decade plus years living gluten-free, but upon the ten long years prior to shunning gluten- the decade it took me (no thanks to the medical profession) to determine that gluten was the culprit behind my early onset autoimmune cataracts, mysterious low ferritin levels, skin rashes, migraines, fat malabsorption and impressive marathon stints in the loo- I feel the slow, sad burn of anger those of us who are dismissed experience.

Two bloggers referenced the gluten-free diet on a social networking site recently, bragging about their "iron stomachs" and their ability to chow down on everything (this implies that those of us unable to ingest gluten merely have "sensitive" digestion). I was reminded of a previous post I wrote in response to a blogger's remark that gluten-free is "too precious".

Ignorance is bliss, indeed.

Here's the thing. It's not a sensitive vs iron stomach issue. It's not an I-can-eat-anything-so-bring-on-the-butter-and-bacon-and-haggis issue. It's not about macho appetite. Or virtue. Or squeamishness.

It's not philosophical.

It's not emotional.

It's not about preciousness.

Or garnering attention.

Or skinny jeans.

It's about a cruel quirk in genetics.

If you won the luck of the draw in the genetic lottery and escaped- by no effort of your own- inheriting HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8, the two genetic haplotypes that predispose you to an autoimmune disease that triggers your body's defense system to attack itself, destroying the nutrient-grabbing lining of your small intestine, be humble. Be thankful. Your body works. You do not have to be vigilant about every crumb that goes into your mouth. In your world gluten does not increase your risk for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A bagel is not dangerous. You can eat what you crave when you are hungry. You can wing it when you travel, feeling carefree and adventurous. You can sample new cuisine on a whim- without asking about the ingredients. Food for you is fun. Romantic. Perhaps, even a passion.

Thank your small intestine.

And while you're at it, thank your pancreas, too.

Because those with Type 1 diabetes (another genetic autoimmune disease, one that destroys the insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas) must also be vigilant about their diet. Along with injecting insulin, Type 1 diabetics must also limit (if not shun) certain foods to protect their health, making careful, low glycemic choices day after day.

But maybe that's a fad, too. Maybe their pancreases are just sensitive. Maybe a diabetic child is merely craving attention, just like her celiac cousin. Maybe a mother learning how to cook a meal with low glucose is coddling her child, too. Maybe all autoimmune diseases are just a silly trend. The Fad Du Jour.

I hear celiacs and diabetics are wicked sexy.

Well, that part may be true.

A Spicy, Dicey, Mango Relish

I’m sure I’ve done at least 50 videos where I promise I’ll show a side dish or technique seen therein at a future date. Of course, I usually forget about it shortly thereafter, unless someone pokes me, but in the case of this spicy mango relish, I actually reminded myself.

I found myself in possession of some nice, fat shrimp, which I planned to spice up and sear simply (I promise to show that recipe at a future date). I was thinking of topping with some kind of fresh salsa, when I saw Michele had bought some mangoes for a lassi (I promise to show that recipe at a future date).

As luck would have it, the mangoes were sitting near a can of coconut milk, and I remembered the rice pudding video, and the diced mango technique I had so casually promised. The rest of the story is kind of anti-climatic.

This mango relish is wonderfully versatile and infinitely adaptable. It might be at its best simply enjoyed with tortilla chips, but a close second would be as I used it here, to dress some kind of spicy meat. It was crazy good on these shrimp. Promise me you will give it a try soon…or at a future date. Enjoy!


Ingredients for about 3/4 cup Mango Relish:
1 mango, prepped as shown
2 tsp chopped cilantro
2 tsp sambal chili sauce, or other type of fresh or jarred chilies
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
big pinch of salt
Please Note: everything here is “to taste.”

Broiled Grapefruit with Ginger & Coconut


The grapefruit, a beautiful tangy fruit that is rich in color, a bit tart and sweet all in one. If you're a lover of grapefruits this will be a perfect way to keep your options for serving them varied and fresh. This recipe is quick and simple making it easy to pull together in no time. You can serve your broiled grapefruit for a light breakfast or any time of day snack or dessert. 


My favorite way of having this is topping it with unsweetened shredded coconut. The toasted coconut is a perfect complement. If you love coconut, this is must try. Just be sure to add the coconut after the first couple minutes or it will toast up too much. I've also used ground ginger instead of freshly grated and it was wonderful! This grapefruit shown above with the shredded coconut is a Texas Red, it has a wonderful sweetness to it...simply delicious!



There are many reasons to add grapefruits to your diet. They are high in vitamin C which helps support the immune system. Grapfruits are full of antioxidants which help fight free radicals throughout the body keeping it clean and free from disease. The pink and red varieties contain lycopene, which is a type of antioxidant that has anti-tumor effects. They also contain naringenin, a flavonoid concentrated in grapefruits that help repair DNA. The limonoids in grapefruits help the body with detoxification by encouraging the formation of enzymes that help make toxins become more water-soluble, allowing them to be easily flushed from the body. Grapefruit juice is helpful for the prevention of kidney stones. You can find out more about the wonders of grapefruits from this article from Whole Foods: Grapefruits. Lots of great reasons to add this colorful citrus to your basket.


This is truly an easy recipe...just slice your grapefruits in half, top with ginger and sugar...


Broil for a few minutes and enjoy! As you can see my coloring is varied between grapefruit halves. You may have early burning and you may not. I've had various outcomes with the times so just know that your time and outcome may vary. Just be sure to keep an eye on them so they don't scorch too much. I've also had a batch that didn't get any charring on the rind at all. All outcomes were delicious...the grapefruit is warm and the sugar & ginger all come together with the juices of the grapefruit to make for a really nice treat. Well worth the minimal effort. 


Broiled Grapefruit with Ginger & Coconut

Ingredients (one serving)
  • 1 grapefruit per person (I used ruby red)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, divided 
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely grated ginger or a generous sprinkle of dried ginger, divided

optional toppers
  • shredded unsweetened coconut (add after the first two or three minutes)
  • dash of cinnamon

Preheat broiler. You can alternately use a toaster oven for this using a high temp.

Slice grapefruits in half. You may have to slice a tad bit off the bottom if your grapefruits don't stand straight. Place each half, cut side up, on your rimmed cookie sheet or baking dish. Top each half with 1 1/2 teaspoon or so sugar and 1/4 teaspoon or so ginger. Use your fingers to blend and spread the ginger on the grapefruit halves.

Place in broiler and cook anywhere from 4 - 7 minutes. I find it best to set your timer for 2 minutes, check grapefruit, if sugar is not caramelized or there is no excessive charring of the grapefruit rind (white part), add another minute and repeat the process until sugar is caramelized and rind is gently colored but not overly burnt all around. If using shredded coconut, sprinkle on top of the grapefruit halves after the first two minutes.

Once done, serve immediately or let cool and serve at room temp.

As with all recipes, adjust seasonings to your tastes.

Segmenting: Segmenting can be done before broiling or after. Once you have sliced your grapefruit in half, use a grapefruit knife or a serrated paring knife and cut each segment so the pink flesh is cut away from the membrane. Next, gently par around the whole outside area of flesh cutting away from the rind. It will make your grapefruit eating a little easier and less messy.

Enjoy the simples!

A Humbling Strawberry Rhubarb Reminder

I was checking Twitter mentions last week, and saw that a viewer by the name of
nguyen4 had posted a strawberry rhubarb pie photo on Instagram (left), and credited me for the recipe. At first, I thought they were mistaken, as I didn’t recognize the pie as one of my creations, but then I realized that was because they’d made it so much better looking than mine. I hate/love when that happens. 

Anyway, once I got over this blow to my ego, I decided to repost this in case you missed it the first time, or just needed a little reminder as to what a fantastic spring pie this really is. Enjoy!

Crunchy Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies


Our latest variation on a theme- crunchy almond butter chocolate chip cookies. Why another gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe? There are so many reasons, Darling. In fact, where do I begin? First. The obvious. The duh. One can never have too many cookie recipes. Especially in our polite, don't want to make a fuss, look-don't-taste universe when one has to live gluten and dairy free, shunning wheat flour, cream and butter. Declining pink birthday party cupcakes and adorable custard tartlets and cream cheese on bagels and examining every ingredient label ad infinitum.

Stainless steel roasting pan can give a great hand in cooking (Jack Gibsons)

When I was a kid, our thanksgiving communion used to begin with dawdling down to the kitchen room to recapture the roasting pan: brown with dappled coating. A turkey could be easily fit into it; still its weight was less enough for someone like me to lift with one hand. Today it's me who is roasting the turkey with the pan in my hand. Cooking with a relatively cheaper appliance sounds good but when we talk about roasting pan, heavy-duty assembly cannot be compromised with anything else.

Investing in roasting pan must be done wisely. The build quality and the material used in its construction should be taken under consideration. Having a hard metal based pan will allow you to roast the meat, hens and also fish. Ridiculing potatoes and other vegetables will be facilitated. Stainless steel roasting pan is the strongest, most durable and expedite the handler to be lifted because of the light weight. Those bulky roasting pans are cobbled up using solid broad stainless steel. They have deeper sides and powerful captivated handles on the sides so that it will become easier for you to pick them up while roasting your favorite food.

They are highly accomplished than the other aluminum built roasting pans. Stainless steel utensils are almost indestructible. They lasts for a lifetime and even further. Along with a rugged body, it has got several other advantages as well. First of all being the non-responsiveness to acidic liquids. When you try to cook acidic foods in a cast iron or an aluminum pan, they may react with the acidic components present in it and may corrode the top most layers. While in the case of stainless steel, it doesn't react with acid.


Furthermore benefit being the wash ability of the pan. You will hesitate while washing the other material roasting pan, due to the fear of developing scratches. However you will not face any such complication with the stainless steel roasting pan as it will never react with water and neither will let scratches develop on its surface. The heat intake capacity of stainless steel pans is tremendously high. In other pans made of raw iron, they start developing cracks on the surface on excessive and continuous heating. This obviously brings down its life.However, steel can take up temperature values much higher than its peers.

The flashing stainless steel pan is apt for the roasting of poultry as well as meat. It is also preferable for casseroles baking. If you want to put it in an oven then do not worry, this tough piece of steel can withstand the heat of an oven as well. Its handles are specially designed, keeping in mind the ergonomic factor. They offer a strong and firm grip. You can also use it as a stovetop. It is pretty safe for a variety of cook tops, including the electric one, ceramic and the induction type. In addition it is admissibly appealing to be taken to the dining table to serve.

Looking to buy high quality stainless steel roasting pan sets? Find the top quality roasting pan sets online at one of the largest kitchen equipment store 3663 Catering Equipment. We offer wide range of kitchen products and accessories at very cheap rates. For more information join us at Twitter.

Strawberry Granita – So Forking Refreshing

We never had air conditioning growing up, and the closest we’d get was a visit to the refrigerator. You’d open the door, and let the cool air wash over you, as you pretended to look for something to eat. Of course, after a few glorious minutes, mom would figure out what was going on, and yell to close the door. I wish I had known about this strawberry granita recipe back then.

You can make and serve this gorgeous granita any time, but it’s really best enjoyed during the summer months. Not only because it’s cold and delicious, but also because it forces you to stick your hot, sweaty face in the freezer four or five times to stir. It’s such a bracing and refreshing experience that I almost feel sorry for people that do have AC. Almost.

Besides a welcomed respite from the heat, this mandatory, periodical forking creates the dessert’s signature texture. By breaking up the ice crystals as the granita freezes, you’ll get what looks exactly like ground granite, which is where this sweet treat’s name actually comes from.

I know it’s still early spring, but strawberries are beautiful right now, so why not practice a few times before the serious heat waves hit? By the way, let me be the first one to say it to you this year…it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity. I hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!


Ingredients for 8 servings:
(Note: Yes, this will work with other fruit and berry purees)
2 pounds strawberries
1 cup water
1/3 to 1/2 cup white sugar (depending on sweetness of berries)
(Note: I've not tried other types of sweeteners)
1/4 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp lemon juice
very small pinch of salt
*Note: freezing times will vary greatly depending on how cold, empty, large, etc., your freezer is. Just keep checking and forking!

Baked Sweet Potato Shoestring Fries

I have a great love for sweet potatoes. There was a time when I wouldn't think twice about these beauties. Those days are long gone and I have been finding as many ways as I can to enjoy their sweetness, nutrition and versatility. These baked shoestring fries are yet another great way to enjoy this favorite tuber! 
Now before we go any farther, I must confess that baking sweet potato fries won't make the majority of them crispy (at least not for me), so be warned that most of your shoestring fries will be on the soft side while some will get a bit more french fry like and crispy. I still find them to be great on the soft side, even if I'm alone on that one, and I see myself having these every now and then. If you're looking for a truly 'crispy' fry this is not the recipe for you. This is one of those give and takes, and I certainly don't mind. Just the flavor alone is great! I seasoned these with thyme, mineral salt & ground chipotle and paired it with this Sriracha Cashew Cream. It's a nice combination of sweet and spice! You can just as well eat these with a fork if needed, kinda like the way you would with chili fries. In fact, these would be great under a vegan chili making for sweet potato chili fries...that may be something in the near future! 

You can also serve these alongside a sandwich or eat alone as a snack or light meal. I made The Ultimate Vegetable Lentil Loaf yesterday and made myself a lentil loaf sandwich today with the leftovers. It made for a great sandwich and these fries paired perfectly with it. As an old friend of mine used to say, ''How does it get any better than this!''. As a matter of fact, that same friend is the one who inspired and nudged me into this wonderful vegan lifestyle. I am truly grateful for that connection. Namaste Rob. :)

Let me share with you a little tutorial and a bit more about the recipe at hand...

Slice the sweet potato in half, place flat side down and cut thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Then turn your thinly sliced pieces on their side and do the same as before cutting thin slices. Try to get them as uniform in thickness as possible so they cook evenly. You may want to go through after cutting and double check your work.

Rinse your potatoes thoroughly to help remove some of the starch. Dry well removing as much water as possible before the next step. 

Place potatoes in a single layer on your rimmed cookie sheet/s, add a small amount of olive oil across your potatoes (about 1 or 2 teaspoons at most), toss gently and coat well. Sprinkle with mineral salt, chopped fresh or dried thyme and ground chipotle pepper, or other seasonings of choice. I added a few thyme strands to the batch, this is optional. Bake for 30 minutes and serve with choice of condiments. 
Note: After a few tries without getting a full batch of crispy fries I searched the internet and tried a few suggestions like using cornmeal or cornstarch. All had the same effect for me but you may find your circumstances to be different than mine. I did like the addition of cornmeal from My New RootsCrispy Cornmeal Sweet Potato Fries. I love her recipes and enjoyed the added texture and slight flavor from the cornmeal. Unfortunately, I still had the same effect no matter what I tried, even with slightly thicker slices like she calls for. I will keep trying and update here when crispy happens but until then I happen to like my fries. :)

As for the corn starch, I personally didn't care for it much and so I leave you with just the recipe from My New Roots. The picture above on the left was a cooked batch that I experimented with the cornmeal while the picture on the right is precooked using nothing but oil and seasonings. These were my favorite ways but ultimately my recipe will not call for cornmeal so be sure to check out Sarah's recipe at My New Roots.

Baked Sweet Potato Shoestring Fries

Ingredients
  • 1 sweet potato per person
  • drizzle of olive oil
  • mineral salt, to taste
  • 1 heaping teaspoon fresh or dried thyme
  • ground chipotle pepper, cayenne or smoked paprika, to taste and depending on your mood

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Wash your potato and remove any unsightly areas. Slice the sweet potato in half, place flat side down and cut thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Then turn your thinly sliced pieces on their side and do the same as before cutting thin slices (see tutorial above). Try to get them as uniform in thickness as possible so they cook evenly. You may have to go through after cutting and double check your work.

Rinse your potatoes to help remove some of the starch. Dry well removing as much moisture as possible using a large dish towel. 

Place potatoes in a single layer on your rimmed cookie sheet/s (I used two), add a small amount of olive oil (about 1 or 2 teaspoons at most), toss gently to coat, sprinkle with mineral salt and seasoning of choice, toss again if you like being careful to place back in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes, remove sheet/s and rotate positions, bake for another 15 minutes. Once done, check on potatoes, add an extra 5 minutes or so if potatoes are on the thicker side keeping an eye on them so they don't burn. Serve immediately with choice of condiments. 

Feel free to use other spices instead, or in addition too, like garlic powder, nutritional yeast, cumin, chili powder, curry, cinnamon or smoked paprika, etc...as well as other herbs. 

Enjoy!

I would love to hear any tricks you have to making your baked sweet potato fries crispy. :)

Tips for Beginners on How to Cook Like a Pro (Stephen John)

Cooking may come naturally to some people but others may find it a bit more challenging and complicated. However, there's always a way for people to learn cooking, baking, and other food preparation skills if they are motivated to do so. Just like learning a new musical instrument, "Practice makes perfect".

Know Your Cooking ABCs

Everything starts with the basics. Any beginner must learn the proper terminologies and names of certain cooking tools, ingredients, and food preparation methods. There are also different ways to cut vegetables, fruits, meat, and poultry so being familiar with the basics will help you understand and follow cooking recipes. Know the difference between dicing and dicing, boiling and steaming, flour and cornstarch, frying pan and saucepan, and more.

Invest in Good Tools

Cooking is never easy without the right tools - cutlery, pans, appliances, cooking wares, homewares, and what have you. Various recipes call for various cooking tools. You can start from the basic cooking tools if you're trying out easy and simple recipes first. And then, you can add new tools and appliances as you take on more challenging recipes. You also need to invest in ingredients you need for your recipe. Frequent trips to the supermarket can be expensive so expect to spend money and invest in time if you really want to learn to cook like a pro.

It will also beneficial to you if you know where to buy affordable ingredients and cooking wares. Instead of going to the grocery store for packaged ingredients, you can also consider visiting your local market for some fresh produced and some hard-to-find ingredients. You might even get discounts if you are a frequent buyer at a local fresh market. Sometimes the best and freshest ingredients for your recipes are found in your traditional marketplace.


Try Out Unfamiliar Cooking Territory

In no time, you will learn the basics and try easy recipes. However, to be able to cook like a pro, you have to challenge yourself with a more difficult recipe than the last. Once you get the hang of doing a particular cooking method, why not try something a bit more challenging than the last. You can also make a checklist of what cooking methods you are not familiar but would like to learn. This will be like a cooking course you set for yourself wherein you need to take new subjects to improve your knowledge and skills in cooking.

Enjoy the Learning Experience

With so many books, materials, and sources about cooking and recipes, it is not too difficult to learn to cook on your own without enrolling in a class. You can watch cooking videos free online and follow the steps carefully. And most importantly, enjoying the learning process will help motivate you as well. It's fulfilling to be able to cook a meal that is delicious and appreciated by your friends and loved ones. Sometimes, we make mistakes and recipes may end up not as good as we want it to be but being driven to make it better next time and being open to criticisms will help you become a better cook or chef.

Enroll in Cooking Classes

If you have the budget for it, enroll in cooking classes to skill up faster. Short courses are offered in culinary schools. This is a good learning experience if you really want to learn from the best and practice it professionally.

Now it is possible thing to make the cheese gift boxes more attractive. So whenever you have any occasion you don't need to spend hours thinking what to present. Moreover anyone will cherish to have such an innovative and tasty gift.

Cheese is a main item of food from the ancient ages. It is used in any dish not only to enhance the taste but also because it has a high nutritive value. Made of curdled milk the cheese curds contain high protein, milk fat, calcium and phosphorus. It is mostly prepared from the milk of cows, goats or buffalos. Among the various types of cheese, the cheese curds are preferred alone also without being cooked or fried. These are the solid parts of milk. These are also called squeaky cheese. One of the best dishes prepared by cheese curd is Poutine whose origin is in Quebec, Canada.

As days are passing by people are more accustomed to online shopping. Now-a-days food or raw products can also be bought online. Thus there are many websites that offer you cheese curds online. Just you need to enter your location, pay the amount and submit. Your cheese curds will be delivered at your doorstep.

The cheese factory processes the cheese either by natural curdling of milk or by adding edible acid to it. Lots of varieties of cheese are processed depending on the fat content, origin, location, texture, flavour, longevity and use. In a cheese factory at first the milk is curdled. After this step the whey is discharged by cutting the milk-mass. When the whey gets dried up, warm water is added to it. Then the cheese is shaped to required form. Sometimes to preserve the cheese for longer time slight preservative is added to it. The cheese can be exported to various countries if the packing is appropriate and thus you can use cheese gift boxes for this purpose.

Pita Bread – What’s in Your Pocket?

There are many baked products that you could make at home, but because of time, effort, and quality issues, probably shouldn’t. Fortunately, pita bread is not on that list. The dough is easy to make, and much like the flour tortillas we did, the taste and texture of the freshly made product is far superior to anything that comes with a twist tie.

The method is very straightforward, but I wanted to take a moment to talk about production. As you’ll see in the clip, after you roll the pita dough out, you’ll need to let it rest for 5 minutes before grilling. Since each one takes about 5-6 minutes in the pan, while one is cooking, you’ll want to roll the next, so it’s rested and ready to puff.

Speaking of “puff,” don’t be too upset if yours don’t go full balloon. Sometimes they all puff, sometimes some, and sometimes none. This is the way of the pita. But the good news is, even if they don’t fully puff, you should still get some sort of internal pocket with which to stuff. Even if you don’t, it’s okay…you’ll just call them “flatbread” instead! I hope you give these a try soon. Enjoy!


Ingredients for 8 pita breads:
For the sponge mix:
1 pkg dry active yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1 cup warm water (about 90-100 degrees F.)
1 cup (4.5 oz by weight) all-purpose flour
Then:
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 to 2 cups all-purpose flour, or until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms (about 8-9 oz by weight)
*Let rise about 2 hours, or until doubled in size. Form 8 small, round loaves, let rise 30 minutes. Roll out and let rest 5 minutes before grilling.

Gluten-Free Focaccia Recipe with Garlic + Tomato

Gluten free focaccia with garlic and tomatoes
Gluten-free focaccia recipe- with tomato, herbs and garlic.


Italian Flatbread for a Blue Moon


When my husband and I were on our honeymoon we ate focaccia every morning for breakfast. After a few cappuccinos, that is. Six between us. To fortify us for the walk across the piazza to the tiny bakery. After all, we were in Italy. Doing what you do in Italy.

Wake up.

Rub the garlic infused sleep from your eyes.

Pull on your jeans.

Walk to the local espresso bar.

Zip.

Boom.

Buon giorno!

The always smiling owner of the Podere Villuzza would greet us every morning on our way out the door, wishing us, Good day, for your blue moon!

I am thinking about our honeymoon today because our anniversary just passed. March is our month. And this time around marked our eighteenth. [How is that even possible?]

In so many ways we are just getting started. It still feels new. Even through the toughest years- in New Mexico, the most difficult of our marriage. The most isolated. We wonder aloud over root beer and popcorn how we got through it, how we wandered into that commitment, buying that tiny casita in the middle of an empty, windswept desert. On impulse. Investing all we had in curved adobe walls and tile floors tough enough to break a hip on.

We look into each others eyes for answers.

There are none.

We were bewitched, I tell my husband. We were infatuated. With the light. The summer monsoon skies. The smell of roasting chile. It was a seduction. The desert pulled us in and whispered stories in our ear, weaving her magic like a smoke screen, letting us feel as if we belonged there. Soothing our east coast gringo fears that it might be rough giving up our roots, our community, the quick jaunt to fetch the morning newspaper, grab an espresso, or browse in a book store.

We believed in the power of space and sky. We imagined inspiration dripping from our pores in the sandpaper heat. We embraced the notion of alchemy and willingly submitted ourselves to burn, trusting the process.

It worked for Georgia O'Keeffe.

Be careful of your heroes, I've learned. Choose carefully. I identified so strongly with Georgia- her strength, her depression, her stubbornness. Her colors. The way she painted the world. It all felt so intimate and true, so deep down familiar. And so for years I spun a narrative in my associative brain. A dream of the painted desert and her earthy pigments. Images of mud huts and fierce blue sky. A belief these imaginings were destiny, a trust that I was meant to live in New Mexico, that it was here I would find my home.

Because I have never felt at home.

Except in my husband's grasp. The first time I shook his hand I knew. He was my country. And so we sit together and sift through possibilities once more, this time more sober. This time without the flush and dazzle of infatuation. We speak of dreams gingerly now. Step by step. We examine and turn over each impulse looking for the hidden. The unconsidered.

It took almost three years to sell the casita. We lowered our price. And lowered it again. To less than what we paid for it. We swept it clean every time the realtor called for a showing. We baked cookies to fill the kitchen with vanilla and spice. We crossed our fingers.

The truth is we fell out of love- not with each other- but with the desert. Why she clung to us we do not know. They like to say in Santa Fe that the desert pulls you in like a magnet, and if you don't belong she spits you out. The night I fell and broke my hip- the night that changed how I navigate the world- forever- I said to Steve-- She has spit me out.

Today in our Connecticut (rented) barn studio I stack unopened jars of paint next to a bundle of clean brushes and palette knives. I pick through memories. I think about beginnings. Our blue moon in Italy. Biting into tender, fresh baked breads scented with garlic and adorned with fresh tomatoes. I decide it's time to bake a focaccia. Like the ones we ate in San Gimignano. Before we set down roots. Before we ever bought a house.

I turn to my husband and tell him, I'm going to bake a focaccia today.

And from now on?

Let's rent first.

Raw Chocolate Pudding: 3 Ways


The best pudding ever, vegan or not, it is simply amazing! It's taken me a good few months to finally get around to trying this out and as I expected it is delicious in every way. Made from avocado, banana and cacao/cocoa powder along with a few various other ingredients and you have a most wonderful healthy, dairy free, wholesome pudding that will rival any other. I have here three amazing ways to enjoy this pudding. All three are wonderful with my personal favorites being the addition of cinnamon, and I love the orange too. Oh, and a dollop of the coconut whipped cream on top takes it to another level....absolutely heavenly! I also used some vegan chocolate chips and cinnamon as garnish. Mix and match the toppings on all three recipes. You will find a basic chocolate pudding, an orange chocolate pudding and a cinnamon espresso chocolate pudding. Lots of ways to keep this pudding versatile and fresh. I'm sure you can add your own flair to any of these making it even more personal. I would love to hear any additions you might think of. Maybe a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicy chocolate pudding. Have fun experimenting!


This is so easy to make. Cut your avocado in half, remove the seed, pinch and squeeze the halves of avocado into the blender. Peel your banana, break in chunks and place it in with the avocado. Add the remaining ingredients into the blender and blend until nice and creamy. Add more liquids as needed for desired consistency. Taste for flavor adjusting to your liking and serve however you like. So easy and positively delicious!

Note: The reason I like the mix of avocado and banana is to lower the fat content. I have seen recipes calling for two avocados but have purposely chosen to stick with the banana instead for this reason. Feel free to omit the banana and add an extra avocado instead or add two avocados and one banana for a larger serving.

Each recipe makes one generous serving or two small servings.

The riper the banana, the sweeter it will be naturally saving you from having to add loads of extra sweetener. A nice ripe banana will have brown freckles and be mildly soft to the touch.

Basic Chocolate Pudding
(photos & basic recipe inspired by Made to Create)

Ingredients
  • 1 ripe avocado, skin and seed removed
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 3-4 tablespoon cacao/cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
  • 1/2 cup water, + plus more as needed

Blend all ingredients in blender until creamy scrapping down the sides as needed to incorporate everything. Add more water as needed for desired consistency. Taste for flavor and adjust accordingly. Top with a dollop of whipped coconut cream and shaved dark chocolate, cacao nibs or vegan chocolate chips. You can serve at room temp but I find it's best when chilled in the refrigerator for a couple hours. Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a couple days.

Here's a great tutorial for the coconut whipped cream from Lunchboxbunch.com...truly a delicious topping! How to: Whipped Coconut Cream from Coconut Milk

My coconut whipped cream didn't come out as fluffy as it should have due to my impatience...I will be taking new photos soon. Once you see the tutorial you will see what I mean, it should be fluffy and mine is flat, albeit it's still delicious. :)


 Orange Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients
  • 1 ripe avocado, skin and seed removed
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 3-4 tablespoon cacao/cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice, + more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon or so orange zest, optional

Blend all ingredients in blender until creamy scrapping down the sides as needed to incorporate everything. Add more orange juice as needed for desired consistency. Taste for flavor and adjust accordingly. Top with vegan chocolate chips and/or coconut whipped cream. You can serve at room temp but I find it's best when chilled in the refrigerator for a couple hours. Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a couple days.




Cinnamon Espresso Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients
  • 1 ripe avocado, skin and seed removed
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 3-4 tablespoon cacao/cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup water, + more as needed

Blend all ingredients in blender until creamy scrapping down the sides as needed to incorporate everything. Add more water as needed for desired consistency. Taste for flavor and adjust accordingly. Top with vegan chocolate chips and/or whipped coconut cream. You can serve at room temp but I find it's best when chilled in the refrigerator for a couple hours. Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a couple days.

For this to be 100% raw, omit the espresso powder. It's fantastic with just the cinnamon too!

Enjoy!

How to Cut Down on Cooking Time (Harry Gosselin)

Many families have begun to cook more at home and they are discovering that they are not only saving money when they do so, they are growing closer together as a family as well. If you would like to cook more at home, there are some things that can be done which will help you to make tasty dishes and to do so without wasting much time in the process. Here are some tips that can help you to make the most out of what your kitchen has to offer.

One of the best tips that I can provide for you for cooking at home is to make it a family affair. If you get the family involved in the entire process, you will find that you are growing closer together and creating memories that will last for a lifetime. The preparation of the food is something that can be shared by almost everyone, as you can assign duties that are age-appropriate. Once your children begin to enjoy preparing the food and cooking it, they will enjoy cooking at home as well. It is also something that they are more likely to pass along to their family when they have one of their own.

Although it is likely that you're going to have some staples that you eat on a regular basis, it is also a good idea for you to mix things up every once in a while. One thing that you may want to consider is joining a food of the month club, as that will provide you with unusual items if you use the right club. Such a food subscription can benefit you and your family by introducing new types of foods to you and allowing you to prepare things that are out of your comfort zone. With a little bit of creativity and the right types of ingredients, you will be surprised with what you are able to make and how delicious cooking at home can be for your family.


If you have any types of special needs in your family as far as food is concerned, you should also consider those when planning your meals. This is especially true when a family member has food allergies. Keep in mind, a mild allergy today can quickly turn into a severe allergy that can even be life-threatening. In some cases, you will need to avoid cooking the food or having it in the home because that can lead to an allergic reaction. Always pay attention to how your children are reacting to the foods that they are eating and avoid anything that ever causes a problem.

Finally, it is a good idea for you to enjoy a meal out every once in a while. When you cook at home regularly with your family, eating out is going to be more of a luxury item and it will be better appreciated. Just consider the times that you are eating at a restaurant to be a special occasion and do the majority of your eating at home.

Harry Gosselin is the author of this article about cooking tips. He has worked in the hospitality industry for a number of years and has an online business offering food of the month and food subscription

Meatless Meatballs! Celebrating the Magical Meatiness of Mushrooms on Earth Day

I’ve wanted to turn our famous veggie burger recipe into a meatless meatballs recipe for a long time now, and figured there would be no more appropriate occasion than Earth Day to reveal the results. After all, as I joke about in the clip, eating mushrooms is about as close to literally consuming the earth as you can get.

Despite being completely free of meat, at least the animal kind, these “meatballs” were fantastic. Thanks to a thorough browning, the mushrooms provided more than enough savoriness, and the garlic, cheese, and parsley did the rest. As impressive as I thought the taste was, what really blew me away was how close the texture was to actual meatballs.

For me, the true test of any alternative meatless recipe is whether I would eat it again, based on taste and texture alone, and not just because it’s meatless. In this case, I would…many times over. No, I’m not giving up real meatballs, but for a delicious and vegetarian-friendly change of pace, these really were tremendous.

So, whether you're going to make these because you’re a vegetarian who has been searching for a meatless version, or you’re a hard-core meat eater who just can’t believe your ears and eyes, I hope you give these a try soon. Have a happy Earth Day, and as always, enjoy!


Ingredients for 16 small meatballs:
(recipe can easily be doubled!)
1 pound white mushrooms, chopped into very small pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
pinch of salt to sauté mushrooms
1 tbsp butter
1/2 cup minced onions
4 minced garlic cloves
1/2 cup instant oatmeal
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
packed 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 ounce by weight, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, very finely grated on a microplane
(Note: it looks like a ton of cheese in the video, but it was only 1-oz. Because I used a microplane to grate it, it created a huge looking pile of cheese. It would be about 1/2 cup if you measure, but use weight for this ingredient!)
1 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper and cayenne to taste
pinch of dried oregano
2 eggs
3 cups of your favorite pasta sauce.
*Let mixture sit overnight in fridge. Bake meatballs for 12-15 at 450 degrees F., then simmer in sauce for 30-60 minutes before serving.
