Blackberry season is upon us and I love seeing these black beauties in every corner market. I love the slightly tart taste of blackberries and adore them especially combined with other berries. The sight is simply gorgeous. Seriously, few fruit arran (read full article)
I enjoyed this honest lemon mascarpone cake with a cup of coffee on a rainy summer afternoon. I call it honest because its flavors are so simple and straightforward: Fresh, all natural lemon juice and zest, and mascarpone lightly sweetened. Yes few i (read full article)
A craving for coffee is how it all started mixed with popular demand for a date recipe from both my family and readers. I closed my eyes and imagined a coffee flavored dessert and the first thing that came to my mind was tiramisu. So I decided to cre (read full article)
I was at the supermarket the other day standing in front of the chocolate bar shelves, quietly scrutinizing every product, trying to find a coconut-chocolate bar—my favorite. Right next to me stood a boxy fifty-something lady who was also there for (read full article)
I’m no cookie monster but I’ve wolfed down six of these cookies in twenty four hours. If that’s to tell you anything it’s that they are delicious. Cinnamon-y and full of flaxseed and raisin goodness, they taste somewhat similar to an oatmeal- (read full article)
God bless Memorial Day. Not only for the obvious reason but also for the many things having the day off allowed me to do today. My hand wash clothes pile—whose label clearly says machine wash but qualifies as too delicate for me—was continuously (read full article)
Love the nuttiness and slight bitterness of buckwheat? Looking for a gluten-free bread for your sandwiches, dips and morning toast? This recipe is for you.I’m only about 80 to 90% gluten-free. Have you heard of such a thing? I’m sure there are so (read full article)
I made this quinoa pudding last Saturday for breakfast. I am not an oatmeal person and only like very few commercial cereals, but I like quinoa. It is rich in protein, easy and quick to prepare which makes it an excellent choice for breakfast. I make (read full article)
As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, I like to stock up on healthy snacks to avoid giving in to bad food choices. I find that I can resist them much better if I have delicious alternatives. These cookies are all about creating those healthy altern (read full article)
I bought a jar of Kalamata olives only to find out once I was home that I had a full jar already. As a result they didn’t only go in the salad but in the dressing as well. And that is OK. There is no such thing as too much olive anyway. I’ve alwa (read full article)
I’ve been piling up on healthy snacks for all kinds of cravings that I might succumb to—dried apricots and cranberries for my sweet weak spot; sea salted almonds, sunflower seeds and cheeses for salty yearnings, and a little nibble for every flav (read full article)
Quinoa is a "grain" I didn’t grow up eating. In fact I have only heard of it for the first time about 7 or 8 years ago after I moved to the United States. Being new to it, I must admit that my first quinoa dishes weren’t impressive. I quickly rea (read full article)
Since I made my last coconut flour cake, it’s become sort of an addiction for me to bake with it. As I mentioned before, coconut flour yields deliciously moist cakes, bakes faster and is dense enough that you don’t need to use as much of it as yo (read full article)

Every time my mother visits from Morocco she brings syrupy, succulent Moroccan dates that I love. How she manages to “smuggle” fresh produce through customs, I’m not sure. It could be the fact that she doesn’t understand English and says no t (read full article)

I was having a drink with a friend of mine last week relaxing after work, casually conversing until she started describing the coconut flour pineapple upside-down cake she had made a few days prior. The conversation suddenly became more solemn; I adj (read full article)
