Italian Meatball Bread Bowl
We’re still getting creative over here with the lack of food availability at the grocery store AND the “shelter state” quarantine for Coronavirus.I’m anxious. I’m nervous. I’m scared. AND, I’m out of supplies and cannot go to the grocery store! (Not that the market has much food around here anyway). So, I baked some Artisanal…

Plant Powered Creative Quiche
In times like these ( #coronavirus #crisis ) I really get to use my creativity in the kitchen. No meat, no eggs, no rice, no cheese, very few veggies, and no toilet paper, of course.Well, Brian is a meat eater – well, lover, I should say. He really likes his heme iron and protein at…

Apricot Pistachio Cardamom Granola (Gluten-Free, Vegan)
Again, going back to the days of the #coronavirus “voluntary” quarantine – my immune system is just too fragile to be out there with all those people, I resorted to a bit of anxiety baking, as well as using up what we had in the cupboards. That’s actually one of my favorite things to do…

Gluten-Free Chocolate Nut Butter Buckwheat Cookies
Although no mandatory quarantine had yet to occur, I received a phone call from my doctor’s office warning me to be EXTREMELY careful and cautious during these times. NO social contact. NO grocery shopping. NOTHING. This really freaked me out. In panic mode, I allowed my husband to go to the grocery store to stock…

Summer Lemon Mushroom Ravioli
Well, I suppose this is a little bit of a cheater recipe – since it’s not quite summer (although I’m rallying for it to arrive much sooner rather than later) and I purchased the fresh ravioli pre-made from Whole Foods as opposed to making my own. My excuse: I don’t like my ravioli press. I…

Cashew Butter Apricot Preserved Lemon Cookies
Amidst the Cornoavirus scare, I felt anxious, alone, isolated, and frustrated.My coping mechanism: baking.I still had some preserved lemons calling my name in the fridge, and thought for a split second they might go well with cashew butter and dried apricots and a touch of cinnamon, baked into cookies.I think I was right: Cashew Butter…

Basil Blistered Edamame
The majority of the time, when I enjoy big pods of edamame, I use them simply as a vehicle for good salt.Oh, yes. SALT. I’m a fan – GOOD salt, that is.Our cupboards are spilling with salts: different grinds and shapes, different infusions, salts from all over the world. I do enjoy the flavor and…

Salted Buckwheat Chocolate Almond Cookies
Believe it or not, when I made these sweet morsels of goodness, I had been in a baking desert – I’m not sure what’s happening – LIFE?That could definitely be an excuse, but I’m not sure it’s valid in my case.Alas, I made it into my creative canvas, fired up the oven, and baked some…

Green Chile Chicken Stew
Some people like to roast their own and then make their own green chili.I would be willing to bet that if I decided to undertake the task (much like pickling and canning), I would love the meditative aspects of the time and skill it takes.I am not at that point in my life.So, I support…
