Whole Grain Waffle Recipe

I never seem to make the same waffle or pancake recipe twice. Because I like to use what is on hand and for me cooking is so much more an art than a science. Sometimes I’ll use up the rest of a large container of yogurt, or I’ll put a cup of my […]

1880 Eggo Waffles

One of the last appliances left in my kitchen with a non-stick surface was our waffle iron. A few years back I ditched my old, worn and scratched teflon pans and bought some good ol’ fashion cast iron skillets. I tossed my aluminum rice cooker and I simply love my stainless steel wok. So why […]

Veggie Turkey Roast with Stuffing

For some of us the Holidays just wouldn’t feel the same without a big stuffed roast. I tried lots of imitation Tofurky in my day but none gave me the feeling of my Grandmother’s home cooking, so I made my own. This seitan roast is similar to the Veggie Corned Beef recipe that you will […]
