All the goodness of Fall is packed into this baked dessert, which is perfect for using up stale bread (the staler the better!). Cranberries, apples and walnuts add texture and a rich sweetness to the spiced custard with a hint of ground flaxseed. You can make this (without baking) the night before and keep it in the fridge, covered, for the next day’s baking.
Add a touch of tropical flair to your morning brew - if you add some coconut milk to your coffee it makes the perfect dunk!
If coffee and chocolate just aren't your thing (wait... who is that?), or your guests are sick of the stuff after months of truffles and mid-shopping espressos, why not bust out the green? Sure, green tea has caffeine, and these are sugar cookies, but these are laced with coconut too, and aren't anything like what you'd pick up at the grocery!
Inspired by the Flying Apron's cookbook for GF, vegan delicacies! I like serving hearty portions over soft polenta or brown rice.
Made this eggnog because we don't drink any dairy in our house and the Christmas season without eggnog is just not right.
I came across this recipe when my father whimsically stated 'why do they have lemon pie and line pie, but not orange pie?' - as it turns out, there is such a thing and it will now be a holiday standard in my house. It is a light, fresh pie that is easy to whip up and is more healthy than some of the typical holiday pies. I hope you enjoy it.
I found the recipe here, but it didn't include walnuts, so I had to calculate it anyway.

Three types of chiles - Thai, hot banana and sweet banana - get cloaked in amber honey and steeped for a week. It will keep for a long time in a sealed jar in the cupboard! Seed the peppers if you really want to keep the heat a bit lower.
A bit less of a devil's food than your standard, sugar-packed C&C, but still decadent and sweet! Maca powder is an ancient Peruvian energy booster and contains significant amounts of amino acids, carbohydrates, and minerals including calcium, phosphorous, zinc, magnesium, and iron. It's also packed with the vitamins B1, B2, B12, C and E. It's an adaptogen as well - supporting the body's defenses against both physical and mental weakness (including stress!) by aiding adrenal and pituitary gland health. The beans provide creaminess and a ton of blood-sugar controlling fibre, potassium, calcium, iron, folate and vitamins A and C.
For those of us who like our peanut butter cookies with a little more texture than the others. I used homemade "jammy bits" (baking pureed cranberry sauce to make a thick fruit leather) but you can also use whatever dried fruit you have on hand - just chop it if it's bigger than a raisin.
Sweet and tangy, with a definite tropical twist! If you like the combination of strawberries and kiwi, this is for you.
Leeks, garlic, and lemony yoghurt blanket strands of linguine, succulent shrimp and tender-crisp broccoli. It tastes decadent, but is healthier than you think!
Adapted from the indolent cook. These are simple, not too sweet, snow white gluten and egg-free cookies that are both slightly chewy and crisp on the outside.
A tasty, no-guilt substitute of the holiday beverage. If you want the festive taste without the alchohol add a tablespoon of rum rxtract!
