This week’s Soften Saturday is a guest post from Celeste at The Lazy Radical. I know Celeste in the real world and she is just as delightful and thoughtful, as well as thought-provoking, in person. I love how that shines through in her writing. –Johnna Contentment from Celeste of The Lazy Radical Our contemporary American…
Twelve Months of Healthy Eating: Double Blueberry Shakes
Continuing on my journey through the Healthy Eating calendar I got at Fausto’s in Key West, I’m offering my take on the June recipe: Double Blueberry Shakes. This one took a considerable amount of modifying. The recipe in the calendar called for silken tofu, which I’m not eating right now. It also called for dairy…
Twelve Months of Healthy Eating: Double Bean Salad
I’m rolling right along with the calendar project and I’m almost caught up! Next up is May’s recipe: Bean and Tuna Salad, without the tuna. Well, you know I’m not a fan of tuna so I’m gonna skip over that. The recipe in the calendar also called for cannellini beans, which I don’t keep in…
The Return of Hostess, a Gluten-Free Round Up
Today’s the big day, the day Hostess snack cakes return to store shelves after an 8-month absence. It’s apparently a BIG deal for those who eat the Standard American Diet. It’s all over the news. People are hosting Twinkie parties. Wal-Mart got their shipment two days early and local news crews were interviewing people. Not…
Raspberry Zingers, remodeled (gluten-free, dairy-free and more…)
Last year for my birthday, I created a dessert buffet that included a couple of Hostess-inspired favorites: my version of the Hostess cupcakes, which I call Fauxstess and Raspberry Zingers. I kept the Raspberry Zinger recipe in my pocket for a special occasion. And today is that occasion! So why today, you ask? Well, we…
Soften Saturday: Be Kind
Ever have one of those days when your favorite pants don’t fit right? Look at yourself in the mirror and declare yourself fat, ugly, lumpy, saddlebag-ridden? Would you say those same words to a stranger or a friend who told you their pants didn’t fit well or feel right? I’m betting you wouldn’t. Be kind…
Twelve Months of Healthy Eating: Weeknight Vegetable Stir Fry
I fell a little off track with my Twelve Months of Healthy Eating project, inspired by the calendar I got at Fausto’s in Key West. While I might not be prompt, I’m not a quitter. So here I am, tackling this one and getting back on schedule. Which, um…means I have to backtrack to April….
Herb ‘n Mustard Marinated Veggie Kabobs
It’s too stinkin’ hot here to cook…unless it’s done in the crockpot or outdoors. We grill a lot when it gets as warm as it is here right now, often waiting until nearly dark to have dinner. Yesterday it was still above 90 degrees at 9 in the evening, which is about the time we…
Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting: Surprise, It’s Dairy-Free!
Dairy isn’t my friend right now. I keep trying to at least get along with dairy, even if we don’t get to be close friends. I indulge in a little goat cheese with roasted beets. I occasionally put a smear of my favorite sheep milk cheese on a muffin. And then body reminds me it’s…
Soften Saturday: Letting Go of Perfect
My entire life, I’ve tangled with perfectionism. Two things happen for me: I put off doing something at all because I know I can’t do it perfectly or I feel like a failure when I do something to less than my vision of perfection. Recently I’ve been working on being softer with the idea of…
