Pumpkin and buckwheat muffins are gluten-free and vegan. They are also a great way to use up canned pumpkin from other recipes like Pumpkin Chai Muffins. Ingredients 1 3/4 cup buckwheat flour 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp ground …
Oatmeal. Cheap, filling, and good for you. There’s something about oatmeal made with cinnamon, apples and currants that says comfort to me. It’s easy and a great way to use up that less than crisp apple in the fridge. As a bonus, it makes the …
It’s Mother’s Day and I decided I wanted a treat and I’ve had a bottle of rose water that is woefully underused. So, I started hunting around for something to make and stumbled on this Persian Love Cake from Broma Bakery. However, I also had …

Like many of you, I’m trying to eat less meat and more veg. This Sweet ‘n Spicy Stir Fry Sauce is helping. It’s an adapted version of the Maple Ginger Stir Fry Sauce from Denise at Sweet Peas and Saffron. The link includes seven easy …

Somehow I ended up with two packages of coconut flour, two large jars of raspberry jam, and two packages of best brown sugar. No, this was not because of pandemic shopping. When this kind of thing happens it’s the universe (and my Scottish heritage) telling …
