Roasted Kabocha – Real Ale Mini Cakes with Brown Sugar Cream
I’m pretty much totally over the whole cupcake fad, so I refused to make these in a muffin pan or to even call them cupcakes. These are mini-cakes. Even individual cakes, if you will. Not cupcakes. Please, not cupcakes.
Banana-Chia Chocolate Chip Cookies
Is it breakfast? Is it dessert? Tastes kinda like banana bread and Manischewitz chocolate chip macaroons had an amazingly delicious love child.
Raw Vegan Key Lime Pie
Let’s see…One…two…three…Yup. Including mini versions, I have made 14 of these pies in the last week.
Vegan Caramelized Pineapple Tart
Okay. I admit it.
I am officially kind of a nerd.
Last Tuesday night was another meeting of the Austin Food Lover’s Book Club aka “My Favorite Night That I Look Forward to Every Two Months”.
Beautifully photographed by the lovely Mrs. Summer Huggins. See more of her fabulous photos on [...]
Vegan Curry Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
This weekend was the very first Austin Food Blogger Pot Luck and it was amazing. I’ve met and chatted with so many of the local bloggers on Facebook and Twitter and already felt like I had known them forever. Except, you know, that whole thing about not actually ever having met them…

Me: “Am I bad person if I eat Gingerbread for breakfast?”

Luke: “Well, it’s possible you may only be subjected to an eternal void instead of hell…”

Vegan/Gluten Free Pumpkin Swirl Brownies
It’s that time of year. The time of year when you are totally inundated with pumpkin recipes galore. But, you don’t mind, right?
Gluten Free Almond Polenta Cookies
The other night, Luke and I made our first trip to Enoteca Vespaio and had such a great meal. While, yes, the meal itself was tasty and wonderful and beautifully presented, the 35 cent dessert was what stuck out in my mind.
Raw Peach Tart with Lemon-Ginger Cream
As long as peaches are in season, I want to get my fill of them. After experimenting with Peach Cobbler/umbles, I found a recipe in Renee Loux’s book, The Balanced Plate, that looked mighty intriguing. It originally called for pears, but I thought peaches would work nicely instead – and I was right! [...]
Peach Cobbler Crisp
During peach season in Texas, fresh, local, juicy peaches are everywhere – humongous displays in produce sections, beds of trucks parked on street corners, restaurants serving everything topped with Jalapeno-Peach Chutney. For some reason, this year’s peaches are especially delicious, so I have been practically swimming in peaches for the last week or so. [...]
