It is funny how you stumble across memories you’d thought you’d forgotten. Mom was asking me the other day if I was ever going to make her that “Pinwheel Christmas Bread” again. She’d gone to Georgia on vacation and brought me a big bag of pecan meal. I had found a bread recipe somewhere and [...]

Adapted this to be vegetarian from a recipe I found in Taste of Home: Picnic, Potlucks, and Barbecues. Paul and I liked it but Julia did not care for the onions. I have to remember to leave those out for her. INGREDIENTS Filling: 1 tbs olive oil 1 package Boca burger Crumbles (about 12 oz) [...]

I love summer. Julia’s out of preschool and we’re spending a lot of time together. The first few weeks were hard because we both had to get used to the new schedule, new routine, and being so tight again. Now that we’re hitting our groove it’s a lot less frustrating. She’s experimenting with new art [...]

I had two large avocados left from last week’s produce order so I decided to bake them up into quick bread after poking around at allrecipes.com for a recipe. It got 37 reviews as a 4.5 star so I figured I’d give it a whirl. INGREDIENTS 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking [...]

On with the quick bread theme! I decided to use up some pears and baked this recipe from Vegetarian Times. Since I have to take it to Thanksgiving tomorrow, I’m left it mostly like it is and am taking some vanilla ice cream on the side in case the kids aren’t keen on gingerbread. Later [...]

A half jar of applesauce in the fridge needed using up and I suppose I’m in a fall quickbread mood after the pumpkin one last week. So here’s an apple quick bread. Preheat oven at 350 deg. Mix all these together in a bowl: 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or mix of white and [...]

Pie! Pie! Pumpkin Tofu Pie!

The heat has been brutal and I’ve been wrapped up in arranging all the AC ducts in the house to be replaced. (Don’t ask. Ugh!) But today Julia and I had time for some toddler cooking and I selected the easiest pumpkin pie recipe I could find online. When informed it was time to cook, [...]
Lemon Corn waffles with Blueberry Sauce

I made the “Lemon Corn Waffle with Blueberry Sauce” recipe from Vegan with a Vengenace today for my dinner. I got a new waffle iron and was anxious to try it out. The waffles were deliciously light and airy although had a tendency to split when I opened the waffle iron. I hear this happens [...]
Banana Bread (1 loaf = 8 slices)

Here’s my whirl at adapting this recipe from the Post Punk Kitchen site into something tasting close to what my mom used to make in my childhood. Even veganized, this guy packs on the calories though. I liked it and it was actually a very nice banana bread. Ingredients 1/3 cup light brown sugar 1/3 [...]
