Masala Dosa Take I
*flop* Just like the gluten-free samosa, I’m struggling with making dosa. It’s hard to accept that I learned how to make both of these dishes in India, but can’t seem to replicate the process in my own kitchen no matter how hard I try. First error in all this dosa making attempting was trying to…
Raw + Vegan Nanaimo Bars
I woke up yesterday craving Nanaimo bars – a dessert usually reserved for Christmas. But with the hubby gone to London, a day of absolutely no plans, and a craving for chocolate, I decided to just go for it. As we’ve learned from similar experiences in the past, I love my chocolate treats on the…
No bake Frosty Chocolate Banana Cream Cups
Remember the Dole recipe contest I mentioned last week? I got started my entry on Sunday morning with the full intention of grilling bananas, pineapple and tempeh, but the hot weather distracted me and I ended up with cups of ice cream. I didn’t even get as far as preheating the grill! Darn you bananas…

Gift for Mom: Pea-not Chocolate Truffles
Mother’s Day has always been special at our house. Wait, let me try that again… We’ve always tried to make Mother’s Day special, whether that’s been the case for the past 26 years is another story. This especially holds true for the 3 year period Christina; my sister, and I were teenagers together. Our hormones…
South Indian Rice with Lentils (Bisi Bele Bhath)
One-pot meals are the bee’s knees, wouldn’t you agree? The prep time is minimal, ingredients are simple, your kitchen doesn’t get all messy, and dinner is ready in under an hour. I like that. If that’s not enough, one-pot meals leave you with leftovers; and from the feedback you’ve left on the meal planning giveaway…
Gluten-free Cinnamon Buns
How was your weekend? Ours was relaxing and mellow, just what the doctor ordered. I was so tired come Friday that our plan to hang out with friends ground to a halt when I accidentally fell asleep on the couch at 7pm. I woke up around 4:30am on Saturday; as I do every weekend, but…
Rooibos Masala Chai
I’ve never been able to handle stimulants very well. Caffeine, sugar, tobacco, even too much cacao can send me over the moon! How I managed to get through adolescence addicted to espresso, coke zero, cigarettes, and jujube’s is beyond me. I was in a constant state of energy highs and lows. I found it hard…
Fruit and Seed Snack Bread
Whether I’m embarking on a backpacking adventure through India, a road trip to the coast, or living out of a hotel in London, you can just about guarantee I’ve packed a lot of food with me. Gluten-free, dairy-free foods are sometimes challenging to find when I’m away from home. To lessen the stress of searching…
Beach Bum Lentil Trail Mix (nut-free)
My little sister, Christina, and I couldn’t be more different. When she went outside to rough house with the boys, I stayed home and played barbies. Her room was green, mine was hot pink. I wore dresses, she despised them. When my Mom would bring home treats from the grocery store; like a carrot cake,…
