Cherry Cranberry Walnut Pesto & Spaghettini
There’s just something about pesto… Not only is it the “besto,” but I also find it crave-worthy and comforting in every season. It’s light and fresh in the spring and summer, it’s warming in the fall, and it’s cozy in the winter. And, pesto in and of itself is so incredibly diverse! For shame I…

Strawberry Hazelnut Chocolate Silk Pie
My best friend recently had a birthday. And, simply because I’m ME and she is SHE, I felt the need to bake her a special pie. A Strawberry Hazelnut Chocolate Silk Pie seemed to be appropriate this time. The strawberries are so fresh and bright, the chocolate and hazelnut combination is oh, so creamy and…

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…

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! Even now, after tackling the starter…

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…
