There was only one fruit/veggie farm at the Farmer’s Market yesterday. They mostly offer bread. I ordered plums from them, but either they forgot to bring them or they didn’t have enough to give me. So, none of those to bring home. They do have the awesome heirloom tomatoes, that’s good. The only other thing [...]
GF Spice Muffins
August 26, 2008 By 4 Comments
B. was my helper today to make (okay, create) these muffins. We all were in the mood for muffins, but I didn’t have any pureed vegetables, apple sauce, pear sauce, or bananas. I usually like to include one of those for moisture and flavor. So we rustled up some coconut milk instead. The batch turned [...]
Sprout-Purple Cabbage-Pumpkin Seed-Tomato Salad
August 23, 2008 By 1 Comment
I can’t believe how much I’ve enjoyed this salad. Yumm just doesn’t describe it. Layered at the bottom of the bowl is a layer of mixed sprouts (alfalfa-red clover-fenugreek sprouts). Next, a generous scoop of the salad I mentioned yesterday — shredded purple cabbage, mung bean sprouts and lentil sprouts, tossed in our favorite dressing. [...]
Farmer’s Market

The last three weeks have been incredible at our Farmer’s Market, which until recently, really didn’t have much beyond eggs and bread. But a couple other farmers are coming to the market. We’ve brought home: plums, figs, pears, peaches, apples, sweet corn, green beans, kohlrabi, onions, broccoli, purple cabbage, heirloom tomatoes, and cucumbers. I’m probably [...]
My Style of Flexible Meal Planning

There are times when I plan out my menu a week at a time. That is usually when we have company coming or a very busy week ahead. For regular life, I plan out the main meal components just for a few days. Notice I said “main meal components” not “menu”. This is because what [...]
Freezer Storage for Ground Nuts
August 11, 2008 By 2 Comments
When I grind nuts — whether fine, medium-fine, or coarse meal — I do several cups at a time and store the excess in the freezer for use during the coming week(s). For some time now, I have been using quart- or pint-size glass jars to store the ground nuts, instead of plastic zipper-seal bags. [...]
GF Cracker Mix in a Jar — Make Ahead or Gift
August 10, 2008 By 1 Comment
When measuring out the ingredients to make a double-batch of Cheezy Gluten-Free Crackers, I fill a quart size jar with all the dry ingredients for another double-batch of crackers. I store it on the door of the freezer. It is ready for me to use sometime during the coming week. I just transfer the contents [...]
