Roasted Potato Bunnies

Easter is just around the corner, and I've come up with an easy way to make your holiday meal a little more festive. My roasted potato bunnies will put a smile on the faces of your family and friends.  They work equally as well for brunch or dinner and they're very easy to make.  The hardest part will be to find a small bunny cookie cutter, at this late date, if you don't already have one.  

Spring Equinox 2015

Yesterday was the Spring (Vernal) Equinox, the first day of Spring.  This is the moment that the sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night are nearly equal, because the earth's axis is neither tilted toward or away from the sun.  This occurred, in San Francisco, at exactly 3:45 pm.

Strawberry Cheesecake Brownie Hearts

Happy Valentine's Day!  I made some strawberry cheesecake brownie hearts for my sweetie.  These are all of his favorite desserts/flavors rolled into one treat.  Chocolate is always a must, cheesecake is favorite, and strawberry jam is a daily obsession.

Quinoa Squash Risotto Cake

This is a savory sort of cake made from a quinoa "risotto". The original recipe belongs to Edmundo, the chef and Deli Manager where I work.  It's so unique and delicious that I begged him for the recipe so I could make it at home.  Plus, I wanted to substitute the dairy products for their non-dairy counterparts. 

"Sausage" Cranberry Pecan Cornbread Stuffing

This year, for Thanksgiving, we're having my Cranberry Pecan Cornbread Stuffing as our main dish. I've added soy "sausages" for protein so it's more of a stuffing casserole.  

"No turkeys will be harmed in the making of this dinner",

so if you've got family members coming for Thanksgiving that don't eat turkey, this is what you can make for them.  

Caramel Apple Bread Pudding

I've been working on this recipe for Caramel Apple Bread Pudding for over a month.  I almost gave up twice, and we've eaten more pans of bread pudding than I care to admit. Some were too soggy and some were too dry.  I wouldn't have thought that an egg and dairy free bread pudding would be such a challenge, but I finally feel good enough about this recipe to post it.

Squash & Tomato Au Gratin

By the end of summer, like most gardeners, I have an over abundance of tomatoes and squash.  I came up with this recipe to use those veggies that were piling up in my fridge. Veggies Au Gratin seemed like the way to go.
