Because five's been done way too many times. 1. Serve it with some coconut-mango ice cream (recipe follows). Buttercup squash dippers with an Indian-spice stew 2. Cut it into fun shapes, sprinkle it with cardamom, roast it and serve it with some Indian dip. Like this! Want the recipe for the dip? ...

I came up with this technique early last year (before I was vegan) and, after much experimentation, I realized that the best "liquid" to use was yogurt (probably some acid/base thing). Unfortunately, using vegan yogurt for every batch was a little tough (price, acidity, flavor options, etc). So, what's a vegan ...

I did it again: I ate too much dark chocolate last night. Every time I promise myself I'll be good, I end up going for the fridge in the middle of the night. Before I can even think about a solution for the stomach cramps, thoughts of calories begin to ...

The first time I made this, it was much more complicated with far more ingredients. Finding myself without most of them yesterday left me hungry and looking for something easy to replace my standard morning fare. What better replacement than a new take on my typical breakfast cake...with coconut flour! ...

Most kids believe in Santa, but for me, it was all about the fairies. The most famous among them was the meat fairy who, in addition to making delicious tandoori chicken left me some fairy dust in a little white box. When mixed with water, the fairy dust turned into ...

Ah bagels, how many softball games I spent sitting on the bench eating my own weight in bagels. Cheese bagels, blueberry bagels, and my personal favorite, chocolate chip bagels. But the best bagels of all don't come off a bakery shelf--they come right out of your kitchen, a reward for all ...

The cinnamon rolls were fun, but we all knew it was going to come to this eventually. Ever since I watched Alton Brown's special on them a few years ago, donuts have been on my list of things to make (or try to make as the case may be). But ...

It's happened. The thing I've been trying to avoid for years: I......cooked with.........yeast! I know, right? And it's all because of these cinnamon rolls. Vegan?--check; Healthy?--check; Gluten-free?--not so much, but that's an easy fix; All around yummy?--double check. Maybe it was just a natural progression from the parathas. Or maybe I just really ...

Stress can make you do strange things. For example, I was at Marshalls the other day (trying to distract myself from the faint feelings of imminent doom) and happened upon these cute little silicone baking cups. Given my new pledge to stick to the bare necessities until I find a well-paying, ...
