Seeded Crackers (GF)

Fresh Orange “Creamsicle” Ice Cream

While the temperatures here are moderating as we reach the end of August, it is still great weather for (non-dairy) ice cream. It is easy to make and one of my all time favorites, bringing back for me memories of childhood creamsicles.

UPDATE – Kosher L’Pesach Granola with Buckwheat

Passover Granola with Buckwheat This year – at least so far – I have been unable to find the quinoa flakes that were so helpful last year for my Passover Granola. So what’s a gal to do?!

One More Granola Before Pesach….

I don’t like to buyContinueContinue reading “Basic Vegan Sour Cream”

Green Papaya Salad with Tofu

This is a Thai-Style salad that I have adapted from the amazing Thai Vegetarian Cooking (1991) by Vatharin Shumichitr. I can’t claim that it is truly Thai; I did not follow the recipe exactly, both because of the ingredients that I had on hand, and our preferences. It was still delicious!
