Ragi and Banana Muffin
This is a simple muffin modified from banana muffin. My first experience with muffins was when we were in UK, it my earlier days there. After a tired long day walk in a big shopping mall (Oracle), we went and sat down for some coffee in bb’s, I think I remember the name right. My husband asked me what would you like with tea or coffee, actually I’m not a tea or coffee person and very rarely I used to have…
Chocolate Orange Cupcakes
This is a delicious recipe for those of us with a pension towards the orange chocolate combo. These are made with melted chocolate, orange zest and bits of orange flavored chocolate. The frosting on them is smooth, sweet and delicious with a bit of twang. From the original site: I was caught between Chocolate Orange Cupcakes or Chocolate Marshmallow Almond Brownies. Sommer responded with a “why no…

Butternut Squash Lasagna
We’re taking a couple of days off for the holidays, so we’re running a few old posts from when we first launched back in February! -ed As much as I’d like to take credit for this one, I have to confess that I saw it on TV…. Get Fresh with Sara Snow. I just love her! If she wasn’t younger than me, I’d say I want to be her when I grow up. We are friends on FB! I will say that this…
Ruby Red Grapefruit & Ginger Granita
Over at Yummy Supper, check out this delightfully refreshing granita recipe… and be inspired as they travel around the Pacific! Darwin is damned hot – over 100 degrees every day we were there, and this wasn’t even the hot time of year. I needed the satisfaction of making a refreshing treat for my travelin’ clan. After spending a month in Bali indulging with decadent abandon in fresh fruit juic…
Using Agave Nectar in Recipes
by Rawls Agave Nectar is a natural sweetener made from the Agave plant (Agave plants also give us Tequila). It is similar to honey, though many prefer the taste of agave. It is sweeter than sugar, yet has a low glycemic index so is a sweetner that can be used (in moderation) by diabetics and those on weight-loss diets, and it’s completely vegan. The nectar is usually processed at low temperatures…
Beet Salad with Goat Cheese
This is an excellent salad recipe that I posted at my Gaia’s Greens website a couple of weeks ago when we had beets in our organic produce boxes. It is quickly becoming a favorite in my house!! The combination of flavors is just perfect and it’s fast and easy to make. So many people avoid beets because they don’t know how to prepare them, but this recipe makes it as simple as you can…
Fresh Squash 2 Ways
Our 2010 crop is in full swing with yellow and zucchini squash topping the list of most prolific. In spite of the fact that we’ve eaten squash with almost every meal for the last week or so, I still love it and am always looking for new ways to prepare it. I decided to test a new Squash Pie recipe and opted to also go with a tried and true standby – Roasted Zucchini, and met with mixed results. Le…
How to prepare Really GOOD Tofu, I swear!
My husband is not a big fan of tofu. I mean, he’ll eat it, but it’s not something he really cares for. When we go out for Pad Thai, he’ll usually get chicken, and I’ll usually get tofu for me and the picky 5 year old (who IS a big fan of tofu, much more so than chicken). So when I made Pad Thai the other night (recipe tomorrow!), and he looks at the dish, his first comment was “Ther…
