It’s officially been 2019 for a few weeks now, and I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want for this year and how to share it all… here’s the list so far: • Gluten-Free Baking Academy will open for enrollment again for the Bread Course and Cookies Course late winter/spring—are you on the wait […]

Saffron Brown Basmati Rice
I’ve been on a bonafide saffron kick since summer. I want to put it in everything from tea to cookies to bread to breakfast cereal. And since I keep a batch of this simple Saffron Brown Basmati Rice in the fridge each week, I thought I’d share it with you so you can join me in my […]
Rosewater and Saffron Oats with Toasted Almonds and Coconut
We all hear often enough that saying “no” and defining boundaries in our day-to-day is the best way to stave off overwhelm. And it works if you can trade the FOMO for peace of mind. Saying “no, thank you” to projects, events, and even to urges to load too much dairy-free, gluten-free Mac & Cheese […]
(Not)Coffee Mushroom Coffee Alternative
I’m one of those people who never got into the coffee habit. On a roadtrip I’ll have one, if I’m traveling somewhere special I’ll have one (or 50 of them—I’m looking at you, Melbourne), and if it’s in ice cream, yes please. But coffee isn’t something I have to have to start my day. You […]
Fermented Golden Beets
The 8-year-old-I-hate-all-veggies-and-will-sit-at-the-dinner-table-all-night-long-in-defiance girl inside me is so rolling her eyes over the fact that I’m writing up a post about beets. And not just any beets, fermented beets! But she better learn to respect her elders because they know what time it is. I can’t believe I ever had a time in my life where […]
Cardamom Pepita Milk (Dairy-Free)
I’m finally getting my recipe developing groove back after the debacle with my host provider a few weeks ago. Turns out when I got back from NY, I realized that they deleted a bunch of already written and posted content (gah!) and too many drafted recipes to count—which means months of measurements, photos, testing hours, and […]
The State of the YumUniverse: Honesty and Spiced Apple Skillet Cake
Pull up a chair, a slice of Spiced Apple Skillet Cake and sit with me for a moment. We need to talk. I miss you. I haven’t written a post in too long, and I know it. No posts means no newsletters either. Yep. Sporadic social media posting, too, even though I do love me some Instagram. […]
Homemade Toasted Maple-Pecan Butter
In the YumUniverse book I share my easy recipe for homemade Toasted Almond Butter, and I now want to share with YU another delicious discovery—Toasted Maple-Pecan Butter. Use it to make a delicious non-dairy milk, spread it on some gluten-free toast, swirl it into homemade yogurt, or chia pudding (maybe a chocolate one). And yes, […]
Easy Lemon Granola
It’s great with Almond Milk, it’s great with Coconut Yogurt, it’s great eaten as a snack on it’s own—homemade granola takes a few minutes to prepare and can be easily adapted to create all sorts of flavor combinations. This recipe for Easy Lemon Granola will get you started and hooked on the habit of making your […]
Rustic Blue Corn & Green Tomato Skillet Bread
The sense of community and generosity in my sweet little town just can’t be beat. Every summer, my gardening pals and neighbors drop off bumper crop goodies like melon, peppers, onions, herbs, beans and of course, tomatoes. My kitchen island (and beyond) is completely covered with tomatoes of all sizes, and colors. It’s inspired me to get […]
