A few days ago Eric and I were foraging in the neighborhood and we picked a bucket of blackberries less than a mile from our house! Since the weather has been pretty hot I haven’t wanted to turn on the oven… so I whipped up an unbaked cobbler, and it definitely hit the spot. I [...]

I’m sorry I haven’t posted a recipe recently! I’ve been busy writing, researching, and editing my upcoming cookbook!!! I’d better get back to working on it now, but first I wanted to share the good news! My plan is to have it available by September 18 & 19 for Portland’s VegFest! Even though I’m busy [...]

These cookies are one of my husband’s favorites. I made them one afternoon, and I swear I saw half the batch disappear by the very next day. Where could they have gone so quickly? These chewy little chocolatey cookies are very quick and easy to make, and they solidify in the fridge in less than [...]

Last weekend I completed my first half marathon - The Timberline Half Marathon. It was a beautiful trail course that meandered through the trees alongside the shore of Timothy Lake near Mount Hood. I knew I needed some fuel for the run, and it had to be really small to pack in my running gear. [...]

I’ve been wanting to create an upside down cake for quite some time… and finally I seized the day! This cake is packed with nutritious oat and garbanzo bean flours and a rich apple cinnamon flavor. It may not be light and fluffy like gluten-containing sugary cakes, but it is nutrient dense, oil free, and [...]

Ok, maybe I just had a craving for a delicious (and nutritious!) swirl cake. Regardless of my motivation, this cake is really tasty, and [...]

I whipped up a Raw ‘Slaw, Boston Unbaked Beans, Quinoa and Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry “Cream” Frosting. It was a busy weekend preparing all the food, and it was so much fun! I love talking to people who [...]

Happy Earth Day to all! My husband and I will be celebrating this evening with a big piece of pie, topped with a little (ok, maybe more than just a little) coconut bliss ice cream. If you’ve got blueberries, cherries or strawberries on hand, feel free to use those instead of raspberries. This pie uses [...]

I have mixed emotions when I take the last few sips of my morning green smoothie. I feel energized from its deliciousness, but I’m also a bit sad that it’s all gone. And so I sit here pondering whether to go make a second batch. Maybe I’ll wait until this afternoon… anyhow, I wake up [...]

It’s been a bit chilly here in Portland and I wanted to whip up a quick and delicious dessert (and a warm one too!) without a ton of prep. This apple crisp isn’t loaded with sugar, allowing the natural sweetness of the apples to really shine through. Most crisps rely on oil or other added [...]
