If you wanted to made traditional dairy cream cheese at home, it would be far more time intensive, and likely more expensive, than the recipe below. With this quick homemade plant-based cream cheese, all you need is a few common ingredients, a bit of hands-off soaking time, and a few active minutes with a foodContinue reading “Plant-Based Cream Cheese”

Peach Einkorn Muffins
August and September mean one thing in Colorado: peach season. The sunny Western slope of the Rockies creates the perfect microclimate for ripening these blushing orbs of sunlight. My husband and I bought a 20-lb. box. 10 lbs. each, yeah? The thing about peach season is that it’s quite short, and it only comes roundContinue reading “Peach Einkorn Muffins”
Mango Lassi Smoothie
I already admitted that I’m not much of a smoothie person, and yet here I am sharing a second smoothie recipe. The truth is, I don’t feel full on what I think of as “typical” smoothies, which I often see jam-packed with fruit, perhaps with a handful of greens tossed in, and if there’s anyContinue reading “Mango Lassi Smoothie”
Peanut Butter Cup Muffins
Oddly enough—actually, perhaps quite understandably—these muffins came together on a whim. My husband and I were sitting around after dinner, wondering what to do . . . he mentioned the desire for a sort of snack that would resemble a peanut butter cup. We make most of our snacks from scratch at home, so afterContinue reading “Peanut Butter Cup Muffins”
Banana Bread Oatmeal
This is comfort food. I mean, who doesn’t like banana bread? So, getting those flavors in a hearty, nutrient-dense breakfast that cooks in five minutes . . . sounds like a winner to me. The ripe banana here both flavors and sweetens, so no additional sweetener is needed (unless you want it sweeter or yourContinue reading “Banana Bread Oatmeal”
My Favorite Smoothie
Let me be clear. I am not a smoothie person. Smoothies generally fail to satisfy me—not just in terms of leaving me hungry an hour later, but as a person who thoroughly relishes the act of eating, simply drinking a glass full of “food” leaves me wanting more. This smoothie, however is atypical. It’s packedContinue reading “My Favorite Smoothie”
Blueberry + Pecan Scones
In my mind, there are two kinds of scones. Proper English scones, which are slathered in (proper) clotted cream and jam, and then everything else. This scone falls into the latter category, and is what I like to call an “all-inclusive” scone. Meaning, it carries all its “extra” inside it. No toppings or accoutrements required.Continue reading “Blueberry + Pecan Scones”
Savory Breakfast Cake
This little marvel is one I’m quite proud of, I must say. It’s not quite like anything else I’ve tasted—think of a cross between a quiche and what you would think of as cake, only savory. If you’ve seen my recipe for Sourdough Breakfast Cookies, you may already know of my delight that is bakingContinue reading “Savory Breakfast Cake”
Mango + Rice Breakfast Bowl: Longing for Summer
As a largely seasonal eater, I had considered saving this recipe until the summer. But when the grocery store hands you ripe mangoes (and the cold weather continues to bring chilly days and snow) there is something significant about eating in hopeful anticipation. If you like Thai food, you may be familiar with the lovelyContinue reading “Mango + Rice Breakfast Bowl: Longing for Summer”
Sourdough English Muffins
It has taken me more than a few tries to get these right. Once in a while I would nail them, but other times I would end up with really thin, partially blackened discs. Let me just say, consistency of dough and griddle heat are quite important factors . . . and time and againContinue reading “Sourdough English Muffins”
