Fluffy AND vegan? You bet! The secret weapon to these airy pancakes is the meal left over from making fresh almond milk. It actually makes a lovely replacement for ricotta in everything from pasta to baking and, well, pancakes of course. If your family isn’t into almond milk you can always make the non-vegan version.

It’s a fact of life that kids love french fries. Okay, us adults like them too, and when they’re made from sweet potatoes in lieu of traditional white spuds, I get a little weak in the knees. Jazz them up with mildly spicy Cajun seasoning and a creamy curry dipping sauce and there’s no turning […]

What makes this dish extra special (aside from the pumpkin, of course) is its unique blend of spices, taken from the kitchen of Juicy Lotus Cafe and the pages […]
I tried for a REALLY long time to like baba ghanoush. In theory it always sounded good: yummy roasted eggplant mashed with garlic and spices — what’s not to love? I’d dip and I’d dabble here and there but never bought into all the hoopla. Until last night! Here’s the recipe that has me (and […]
