Peppermint Patties

elana — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:13:54 +0000

Ok, when the idea of Peppermint Patties first crossed my mind I was not enticed. "Chocolate and mint?" I said, "That sounds like toothpaste, not food." Well, a few weeks later, the idea lingered, gnawingly and I decided I just had to make those Peppermint Patties. So I did. And they are good. Even to someone [...]

Beet Hummus

elana — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:10:11 +0000

This beet hummus recipe comes from Elise over at simplyrecipes.com. She is one of my favorite bloggers and I was lucky enough to hear her speak at the last Blogher Food conference. I myself, would not have ever thought of combining beets into a hummus type dip, so, leave it to Elise. She is the [...]

How To Roast Beets

elana — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 20:00:03 +0000

I love beets. They're delicious, healthy and a "grounding" root vegetable. I usually steam them, which is simple --other than the times that I run out of water for steaming and burn the pan. Usually I save them in the nick of time though. Alternatively, roasting beets, is just as easy and delicious. Roasting adds a [...]

Purim Roundup

elana — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:51:09 +0000

Purim is here! One of my favorite festivals (it's not a holy day) Purim is a wonderful time to gather together with family and friends. For those that aren't familiar, Purim, (like so many other Jewish holidays and festivals) involves the story of the attempted destruction of the Jewish people, the subsequent redemption to "freedom" and [...]

Cabernet Cookies

elana — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:29:18 +0000

I'm still on my grape seed flour kick and made these yummy Cabernet Cookies the other day which were "all gone" quite quickly. If you like the combination of red wine and chocolate, be sure to give these treats a try. Grape seed flour is full of antioxidants, fiber and protein and adds a nice flavor [...]

Grapeseed Flour?

elana — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:55:05 +0000

These yummy little protein-a-licious cookies are the result of a complimentary sample of Chardonnay Grapeseed Flour that I received from Eric Leber of AprèsVin. Grapeseed flour? Yes, you heard it right, grapeseed flour. While these treats look like they are double chocolate chip cookies, they actually are not. It is high protein, antioxidant rich grapeseed flour [...]

Magically Moist Cherry Apricot Cake

elana — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:18:58 +0000

My husband loves this simple, moist gluten free Cherry Apricot Cake. I make sure to use organic dried fruit in this dessert since pesticides levels tend to be high in conventional cherries and apricots and more concentrated in dried fruits. I often purchase my organic dried fruit at the local health food store, [...]
