Nutty Minty Carob Fudge Balls
These are a hit around our house lately! They are slightly frozen, which will make them a great treat come summer. They also happen to be very good for you. I’ve doubled the amount of tahini from the original recipe so we get more calcium in every bite. Nutty Minty Carob Fudge Balls original recipe [...]

I only modified this recipe a bit from the little booklet that came with the Teff grain I bought recently. For instance, the recipe didn’t call for any liquid and it obviously needed some! To make teff flour, you grind the whole teff grain in a coffee grinder, blender or Vita-Mix dry container. Whiz until [...]

Chocolate Walnut Brownies
My excuse for making brownies tonight — Jeff’s birthday is tomorrow! Is that good enough? We won’t be celebrating it until next weekend, so tonight we had to have something. These turned out so good — rich, dense, not too sweet. Dark. I changed around a recipe that a friend found for me in a [...]

Pumpkin Pie (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free)
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 Mikah’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 Mikah no longer has allergies to dairy or eggs, we still make this pie.
