These crackers are seriously addictive, and delicious with the Roasted Parsnip Skordalia recipe I posted last week. This was my first experience ever making my own crackers, and I would definitely do it again! It’s actually easier than it seems, so I’m going to try this out with some other flours and spices as well. … Continue reading Smoky Carrot Cumin Crackers
This dip is a variation on the traditional Greek potato-garlic dip. When I came across the recipe in a recent issue of Bon Appétit magazine, I knew I had to try it, and it did not disappoint! This would be delicious served with fresh bread, pita, or crackers. I enjoyed mine with some homemade oat … Continue reading Roasted Parsnip Skordalia

Since we’ve been in Pennsylvania, we’ve made this gluten-free chocolate chip pumpkin bread three times! Yes, it’s that good!

How was your Thanksgiving weekend? We had a great time in Pennsylvania, though we skipped the Turkey Trot since with the wind chill, it was 3 degrees! On Thanksgiving, just after we finished baking the pumpkin pies, the oven started to malfunction, and could only make it to about 250°F for the rest of the … Continue reading Coconut-Turmeric Granola

This week, an epicurious.com recipe for Greek-style giant beans (or gigantes) really caught my eye, and I … Continue reading Giant Beans with Tomatoes, Ouzo, & Dill

It’s very tart and surprising in a … Continue reading Pomegranate-Glazed Beets with Pistachios
This banana bread appears in my kitchen about once a week. It slowly disappears, as we eat it for breakfast, snacks, dessert—really at any time of day—and is quickly replaced by a new loaf almost as soon as the old one is finished. Continue reading Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (gluten free)
If you read my Friday Favorites post, you’ll know I was sick this weekend and feeling very sorry for myself.
