A Farewell to Orange Cocktail
I’m certainly no Hemingway and I am more than grateful I am not involved in the fight of World War I at this time (or any time in my life), but, I’m hoping that perhaps this cocktail can and will become a bestseller, just as his famed novel. At the same time, as summer is…

The genus is quite large, comprising several hundred species that are native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are renowned for their large,…

Ancient Sourdough
Remember how intimated I was to bake bread, craft homemade pie crust, and create fresh pasta for so many years? And, remember how much I’ve grown and now all three glutenous delights are my favorite things to make? Well, I have one more confession. Sourdough scares me to death!

Lava Salt & Nori Crusted Macadamia Nut Cheese
Macadamia nuts are so often supplanted in sweet dishes, even if salted. This time I was craving something a little more savory – in fact, the ultimate of savory: umami. Years ago, in my vegan days, I created raw and delectable recipes like this each and every day. I had quite a plant powered following…

Maple Macadamia Cheesecake with Maple Marinated Carrot Ribbons
It seems to me, everything about summer screams “tropical,” and everything tropical indicates coconut and macadamia nut. Or, at least, that’s the way it should be. Now that summer has wrapped up and I skipped a whole season of tropical eating (I live no where near the tropics, of course), I’m craving the sweet creamy…

Peach Dill Feta Pasta Salad
Oh how I wish peach season would last longer…in fact, peaches, berries, squash – all the summer produce, I simply adore. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll never turn down an apple or a Brussels sprout, and I’ll eat winter kale any day, but there’s something about fresh peaches. And these peaches are exceptionally special…they grew…

Salted Caramel Cream Peach Pie
It’s not summer without having a peach pie at least once! Salted Caramel Cream Peach Pie, that is… This pie is extra special with the sweet and salty creamy goodness of the filling, as well as the fresh peaches atop! So, rather than the sometimes slick and slimy filling that coincides with peach pie, we…

Peach Green Chili Burger & White Cheddar Bun
This time of year, in this neck of the woods, our mouths water at the sound and sight of Hatch green chilis and fresh peaches from the Western slope. We don’t relish in the great produce production for very long in Colorado, so we must take advantage of the fruits of the harvest while we…
