It’s Day 3 of SKI WEEK! So far, I’ve made some Slow Cooker Beer Chili and 6 Ingredient Snowball Cookies. Today, I’ll be making a Chocolate Chestnut Torte with Amaretto. You may be asking, “Aileen, why did you choose this for Ski Week?” Well, reader, I was thinking of the Christmas song line Chestnuts roasting …
It’s the last day of SKI WEEK! Today, I’ll be making oat bread with spent grains from brewing beer! It takes about 2 hours, give or take, and they walk you through the process. Don’t worry - there’s time for drinks and food in between the steps! I recommend it if you’re looking for something …
Although it’s the middle of the winter, I still have a hankering for ice cream. It’s hard to find good, non-dairy ice cream. As you may know, I’ve made a handful of pretty good ones. When I started following this blood type diet for my health, it really restricted the foods I could eat. For …
I know, I know - it’s the middle of winter, and I’m making popsicles. Hey, it didn’t stop me from making Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, so there’s that too. I’m not the big ice pop fiend in our house; my hubby - who declares that he doesn’t like dessert - is always sneaking them …

I’ve been dying to try Laura’s tempeh bacon (pictured below) - may be crumbled as a cupcake topper?! Laura’s recipes can be found on her newly relaunched website, The Whole Ingredient. …
Today’s guest post is from my friend Stephanie at My Freckled Life, a fitness and lifestyle blog. Like Lindsay, she and I met when I moved to Virginia. Stephanie was also a key sounding board when I first started blogging. She’s been to blogging conferences and everything! She’s cooked up a tasty dinner for us …
It’s LOVE MONTH! My husband and I affectionately call it this because it’s both Valentine’s month and our wedding anniversary. We don’t celebrate both occasions; rather, we lump both of them together…Valentine’s Day is too commercial anyway. This month (and my recipes) are more about celebrating the love we have for our family and friends …
I emailed Guittard after a commenter noted that the company was not vegan. Guittard and Micki Weinburg, their Regulatory and Culinary Specialist, told me the following: “Bone char is used to refine the cane sugar in our retail chips. This is not the case for the evaporated cane syrup used in all of our sustainable …
Some time ago, I wrote a list of my favourite ingredients to use in my vegan baking. I wanted to share a few more with you today. I want to share the product names and the reasons why I choose them over others. I’m not getting compensated by any of these brands or products; I …
