As there are more and more nut allergies (or perceived to be) these days, I decided to play with a classic peanut butter cookie recipe and swap the peanut for sunflower, and then add a little something in the form of ground cranberries. They add a subtle note to the cookie. The recipe requires a […]
Baked Sundays: Recipe Development Hell
So I made these fabulous gluten-free cheese shortbread crackers to write about today and I’ve misplaced my notes on the procedure, so I have to go make them again before I can share it. (Or find my notes). C Tweet
Baked Sundays: Crackers!
These are damn tasty crackers! Crunchy, flavorful, healthy and awesome! I’d been wanting to experiment with crackers for the kids at school, but wanted them to be really healthy, I remembered a recipe we made in culinary school for some “Oatmeal Dulse Crackers” I used that as a jumping off point and adapted it to […]
Sunday Breakfast, Mexican Style.
I had an awesome breakfast today! What you’re looking at is carne marinated pork sauteed with kale, leek, and mushroom, alongside some scrambled eggs with a bit of Tapatio hotsauce, over La Mexicana soft corn tortillas.

It’s strangely fascinating to watch someone else make something from my instructions. As promised here’s the recipe for the Banana Bar Bites from […]
Baked Sundays: Banana Bar Bites
I really have to apologize for going all ‘Food Porn” on my Baked Sundays posts, but here we are with another experiment that is almost perfect, but I need to verify the recipe works one more time before sharing it. My goal today was simple, bake something fresh with ingredients on hand, no trips to […]
Baked Sundays, a little early
Hola! So while I will be baking on Sunday, the site will be undergoing some background maintenance and I won’t be able to post tomorrow’s baking until Monday. And yes, I said a little early up top because, I have for you test 2 and 3 of the chocolate cake from last week’s BS. In […]
