Creating a Workable Pantry
November 30, 2006 By Leave a Comment
Many health-conscious cooks and mothers of large families often make bulk food purchases. It not only simplies shopping but often rewards the family with great savings in food costs. My family is no exception. We purchase non-perishables to last for one or two months or more. To make purchases this way requires workable pantry storage. [...]
My Pantry Storage

Updated: 4/10/2010 (briefly) We purchase most food stuffs in quantities that will last for 1 or 2 or more months. I don’t have a pantry — though I wish I did! I wouldn’t enjoy my time in the kitchen if it weren’t at least somewhat efficient, so it is important to me to find workable [...]

Pumpkin Pie (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free)
November 21, 2006 By 23 Comments
We love this pumpkin pie. I modified the recipe from a raw foods cookbook a few years ago. This was when we first began eliminating dairy and eggs for the sake of our son C.’s food allergies. The pumpkin and spice flavors come through so naturally and appetizingly. It is really a good pumpkin pie. Edit (11/17/09): Even though C. no longer has allergies to dairy or eggs, we still make this pie. 
Sweet Potato Muffins

Something about it being Fall gave me a desire to try a new sort of muffin. These muffins fluff up beautifully. The taste is satisfying and heartening. They are soft and perfectly sweet (but not too sweet). Give them a try! They would be excellent made ahead for an easy Thanksgiving morning breakfast or snack. [...]

Shopping List edited on 2-17-2011 to make it traditional food friendly — though I don’t shop much at Trader Joe’s anymore. When I go up there now, I load up on Kerrygold butter! We’re making preparations to make a Trader Joe’s trip tomorrow, possibly. We go every other month. We also visit my three friends [...]
