Recipe: Flourless Olive Oil and Sesame Seed Brownies
With all this running lately, I have been craving anything loaded with protein. I can’t get enough of raw nuts and seeds. So it only made sense to make some brownies with them, right?
Recipe: Gluten Free Dutch Appeltaart with Cardamom
I was destined to fall in love with the appeltaart.
When I travel I have a tendency to fall for local foods. It may be the most basic of foods in that location, but when you’re an outsider, it’s exotic. And so I identify a local dish that’s easy to find in a variety of places and I order it wherever I go. It could be called a weird travel quirk, but when you find a local food that you love and you stick with it.
And so it was with the appeltaart.

Recipe: Oatmeal and Flaxseed Blueberry Pancakes
Full disclosure: standard American pancakes have never been my thing. Except for a backcountry version made with M&M’s, they have never been one of my breakfast standards. On the too sweet, too fluffy and too thick side, classic pancakes are optimal if you’re looking for a sugar high with an immediate crash. Not quite my style.
However, once in awhile you come across a version of a recipe that changes your perspective. A good friend named Lisa, who has an ongoing oatmeal vs. pancake breakfast debate in her household, came up with this one. As she says, when someone says “bowl of oatmeal or stack of pancakes?” oatmeal is regularly the winner, so she found a way to combine the two. The result is convincing even for those of us that aren’t usually wooed by the traditional breakfast.
Recipe: Flourless Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies
Time is of the essence when I cook; the easier the better. Which is why I am all for recipes that require minimal ingredients and prep time. Enter these peanut butter cookies which are so easy it’s almost stupid.
Recipe: Spicy Roasted Chickpeas
You could probably eat all of these in one sitting. I came up with these when I was in need of a super simple snack recipe that seemed fancy – which of course is sort of my cooking style in general. The result is easy and in my opinion, better (and healthier) than a bowl of popcorn.
Two Years of Writing a Food Column
Today marks two years of writing my Foodie Underground column. How I have managed to produce a column every single Monday for 104 weeks is beyond me, but somehow it’s still going. Hence the celebratory post and birthday torte recipe. Enjoy!
Kale and Hazelnut Quinoa Cakes
I have a minor obsession with quinoa, as is evidenced by the fact that I keep it on hand at all times and I even make cake with it. It’s delicious I swear.
Last week I was trying to come up with a falafel alternative, and a mixture of quinoa and white beans seemed like the way to go. Here’s the final result, one packed with protein and easy to make ahead of time and fry up right before eating. I also found that the bean and kale mixture is also excellent as a spread or dip. Enjoy!
Inspired By Chocolate and Sea Salt
Prompted by a phone call with a food-loving friend, I went a little over the top this weekend. It all started with a question: “Why is no one making Chocolate Sea Salt Flakes?”
If no one is making them, you might as well make them yourself.
Friday Photo: Ingredients
I love the colors in this photo, the contrast of the green of the olive oil and the yellow Meyer Lemon. All part of one the Best. Cakes. Ever.
