This is a traditional regional French dish typically made with potatoes and cream, slowly cooked in the oven. Needless to say my version is not so rich! I make it with skim milk but because I give it time to simmer first on the stove and then finish baking it in the oven, the milk becomes as thick and luscious as cream and I add just a little bit of comté or gruyère cheese to ...

Fresh Fruit Trifle
This beautiful fresh fruit Trifle is one of my favorite dessert for the Holidays! The wine cake layers blend perfectly with the vanilla yogurt, the rhum and the fresh fruit so that it tastes decadently delicious (the rhum-embued cake reminds me of a French "baba au rhum" and the vanilla yogurt becomes so thick you'd think it's heavy cream!). It is absolutely spectacular as a ... Read More »
Rustic Strawberry Galette
Galettes are the crusty, free-form versions of those more sophisticated tarts or pies. They are more rustic and "rough around the edges" so you can just eat a slice with your hands--no need for forks here! I just love them! The only problem for me is that the traditional ones are made with plain white flour and lots of butter. In fact, I had just resigned myself to the fact ... Read More »

The crust, made with white wine, white whole wheat flour (here is one I like and don't forget the rule about measuring ... Read More »

How to measure flour!
Flour measurements can be one of the biggest variables when it comes to making the perfect bread or cake. In fact, really serious bakers prefer weighing their ingredients using a digital scale, because it is the most accurate method. However.....as a mom of 5, I just never took the time to do that, but I do agree that it is important to know how to measure flour and do so ... Read More »

I love love love this vegan creamy cauliflower soup! It is creamy but has no cream and no dairy. It is just so satisfying and so very simple. It's basically made up of soy milk and lots of cauliflower! The pepitas on top give it a little crunchiness and the drizzle of extra virgin olive oil add just the right touch! Creamy Cauliflower Soup 2 Tbsp ... Read More »
Cream of Asparagus with Pistachios

Basically, it's asparagus and soy milk (and a sprinkle of pistachios) but really that's almost all you need in this yummy soup! Cream of Asparagus 8 cups fresh asparagus spears ... Read More »
