I’m still here! It’s been a typically crazy May and June and I’ve been nursing a knee injury with loads of PT so I don’t totally embarrass myself in my August triathlon. I’ve been cooking, creating and taking photos but haven’t spent time editing or writing too much. Somehow I found some time to breathe … Continue reading
Yay! Lemon cake Take 2 was a hit! This time around I chose to work from Chef Chloe’s Lemon Olive Oil Cake recipe since I had almost everything on hand and loved that the recipe lacked refined sugar – bonus! I went in skeptical after my last lemon cake disaster and made sure to warn … Continue reading

When I saw this recipe for Chickpea Flour Omelets on FatFree Vegan Kitchen, I immediately pinned it and put gram flour and black salt on my shopping list. I’ve never used either and I love trying new ingredients. Yes, I’m a little geeky that way. I’m also looking for unique meal ideas and recipes … Continue reading

I was feeling a bit skittish about baking again after my big birthday baking fail, but needed a simple dessert for a cookout this weekend and I had 4 super ripe bananas staring at me. Since I continuously battle sugar addition, I made this recipe – no refined … Continue reading

We’ve always grilled a lot and I found portobellas to be a hearty sub for steak, burgers and one day, about 10 years ago, I added leftover marinara, fresh herbs and greens from … Continue reading
What do you do when your husband informs you that he invited the gang over to enjoy the (finally) warm spring weather with some grillin’ and chillin’? And at first he told you only 2 could come and you didn’t worry about going to the store because you had enough to feed 2 add-ons? And … Continue reading
Wow! It’s been a year since I ate my last meat! OK, truth is when we were in China I had a few bites of meat at cooking school, in a few super local dishes and such, but that’s why this blog title ends in ‘ishy’. I give myself permission to be a little flexible … Continue reading
Yeah, so today is my birthday and since the boys are away, I invited the girls over to play…or rather, I would play with my cool presents and they would bring sushi and seaweed salad and keep me company. The presents? Well, let’s just say I feel so accomplished, having finally joined the Kitchenaid Cult. … Continue reading
