Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie

I love pumpkin pie, but haven’t made it since I went gluten-free, mostly because gluten-free pie dough scares me. But I received a food processor as one of our wedding gifts (I had to completely rearranged the kitchen to find space for it, but it was worth it!), and it came with a dough blade.

Sweet & Spicy Red Pepper Jam

For the Super Bowl this year, AK really wanted a hot dog bar. We made some of the usual hot dog toppings (caramelized onions, pickled cabbage), but I was at Shoppers and red peppers were on sale 4 for $5, which is amazingly cheap at least in my area, so I wanted to do some…

Blueberry & Meyer Lemon Refrigerator Jam

I started experimenting with jam last winter when I started reading an awesome blog called Food in Jars. If you have any interest in canning, or just want to see some cool recipes, definitely check it out. Unfortunately I don’t really have space to actually can and store anything, so I stick with refrigerator jams.

Whole Grain Blueberry Breakfast Scones

I have tried a number of scone recipe recently, but I’ve been looking for something that’s similar in texture, but with less fat and less sugar. Something more like a breakfast bar than a dessert. So when I stumbled across this recipe, I was really happy.

Peach-Mango-Ginger Soup

I’m a big fan of cold fruit soups, but good fresh fruit isn’t really available in the winter. While frozen fruit will never be as good as fresh, flash frozen fruit is actually a pretty good substitute. I’ve done a lot of cold berry soups, so this time I opted for peach and mango, with…

New Beginnings & Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin Boule

It’s been a whirlwind couple of months–I moved into a new apartment, married the man of my dreams (seriously not saying that to be cheesy–he’s pretty much the best thing that has ever happened to me), and I made the decision to leave my job for a very exciting new opportunity. I like to do…

Recipe Remix: Savory Sage Corn Kugel

My corn kugel is one of my most popular recipes, and a go-to side dish for almost any meal (thank you BL for introducing me to it!). While I love the sweetness of this kugel, I recently made delicious savory pumpkin muffins, and decided I’d try a savory version of corn kugel too. If possible,…

Vegan Curry-Maple Roasted Nuts

I know I’ve posted a lot of roasted nut recipes, but hey, I like nuts :) This time I went sweet and spicy with curry, ginger, and maple. I chose to use half almonds and half cashews, but you could use any nut you want–macadamia, pecan, walnut, etc. These nuts aren’t too spicy, so add…

Salad as a Meal: Quinoa Salad

**This post is part of a month-long series as I participate in the Salad as a Meal Challenge. It’s fitting that my last recipe of salad as a meal involves quinoa.

Outside the Salad Bowl: Soups
