Blueberry Bread Pudding

This was my first attempt at bread pudding, but as soon, as I saw Alvarado Street Bakery’s Cinnamon Raisin Bread at the grocery store, I knew what I had to make!

I don’t love sweet foods, so I didn’t add a whole lot of sweetness to this recipe, but if you like a sweeter dessert, I recommend tossing your berries in a little sugar.

Enjoy!

Sprouted Panzanella Salad

This might be one of my favorite times of the year because I get to eat fresh tomatoes from my garden! Ths year I grew Sungold cherry tomatoes and they are so sweet and flavorful! I overwatered my tomatoes last year and they had very little flavor, so this year I droughted my plants a bit and it really paid off. (I learned this from my Dad.)

So, naturally I wanted to make a salad with them and…

Blackberry Ricotta French Toast

Blackberry Ricotta French Toast

I wouldn’t say I am a health nut by any means. I eat what I want when I want to, for the most part, paying attention to food quality and how it makes me feel. Luckily, I actually enjoy the taste of vegetables, fruit, and healthy grains, but I really miss bread.

Or at least I did until I discovered Alvarado Street Bakery! I have a gluten intolerance, but I cheat a lot, then I feel sick. But once I…

Chocolate Banana Zucchini Bread

Chocolate Banana Zucchini Bread

It’s been a while since I’ve made any loaf style bread so when I realized National Zucchini Bread Day was upon us, I had to make some. But of course, I had to be extra about it and make Gluten Free, Vegan, Chocolate Banana Zucchini Bread.

It’s a constant battle convincing people who never actually try my recipes (*cough, *cough, my family) that you can bake delicious desserts without milk, eggs,…

Gluten Free | Dairy Free | Apple Strawberry Muffins

Gluten Free | Dairy Free | Apple Strawberry Muffins

I think it’s finally safe to say that I can bake now. I used to really suck at it because I hate following directions and I like improvising, which isn’t really allowed in baking.

I think I’ve finally learned when I can and cannot improvise and have since had several successful baking experiences. I got really into baking when I started working with North Coast Organic. Baking with apple products…

Meatless Gluten-Free Homemade Ramen

Meatless Gluten-Free Homemade Ramen

I was inspired to make ramen after a late afternoon craving that I wasn’t able to satisfy. There’s a really popular Ramen House near me that I can never get into. It’s always at least an hour wait when I get there and I’m usually too hungry to wait. The next day I was feeling defeated and thought, “How hard can it be?”

The answer is “not hard at all!” The ramen I made was a huge hit and I can’t…

The Fluffiest Gluten-Free Pancakes

The Fluffiest Gluten-Free Pancakes

It was one of those Sunday mornings when all you want is pancakes! It’s often difficult to make super fluffy gluten-free anything but with pancakes, the trick is Apple Cider Vinegar.

  If you add 2 tablespoons of ACV to 3/4 cup of milk or milk alternative and let it sour on the counter for about 10 min, you are sure to have fluffy cakes. I use North Coast Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. I also…

Champagne Is Always The Answer | Sparkling Wine Tasting at CIA Copia

When you truly have a love affair with sparkling wine, like I do, there is nothing better than the warm fuzzy feeling after your first few sips, the bubbles, the flutes, the colors. It’s like magic.

But it’s not magic, it’s fermentation, which happens to be one of my favorite things to talk about. If you want to know more about my obsession with fermentation, visit my fermentation foodie blog at
