Innovative Low Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes
Yeast bread. It is the nemesis of many a baker, as it is finicky and often takes a deft and practiced hand to come out right. And it’s even trickier for those trying to go low carb. There is something nearly magical about the interplay of wheat flour and yeast, the way the gluten traps [...]
I always have these romantic notions of cooking and baking with my children. Of all of us really getting into it, and laughing together as we make a fine old mess. Of me not worrying about the final results and just going with the flow. Of my kids really learning something from me about how [...]
I once ate so many strawberries I made myself quite sick. And it wasn’t, as you might imagine, when I was a young child with no self control. Nope, it was as a full grown adult who should have known better. But I’ve never had much self control when it comes to foods I love, [...]
You know how people are always telling you to look at the big picture? Well, what about the small picture? Doesn’t it too deserve a little air time? Is it really so bad to focus on the details? See, this is where I am lacking, where I need a little extra work. I’ve got the [...]

Tomorrow is the first day of April, April Fool’s Day, and it seems only fitting that Mother Nature is about to play a big trick on us here in New England. After the winter we’ve had, it has finally felt a tiny bit like spring. Bright, sunny, and with the thermometer slowly creeping upwards I [...]
I am fairly certain that you know I love chocolate, and I think I’ve made it pretty obvious how much I love nuts. What you might not know is that I am also a full-on, certified, card-carrying garlic-aholic. I love the stuff dearly and think that most savoury foods could be vastly improved by the [...]
If someone were to point a gun to my head and tell me I had to choose a favourite ethnic cuisine, I am pretty certain that I would pick Thai food. Many of my friends would pick Mexican, and while I love many aspects of Mexican cuisine, the flavours don’t excite me quite as much [...]
