A quick post for a quick crust. One that is crumbly without crumbling biscuits. Buttery without any butter. Pressed with no pressure (too far? probably) and so fragrant and more-ish you'll want to use it for every pie you make ever again (I do love a bold assumption). As a side note this crust was photographed a couple hours before the fully assembled pie -- smack-bang in the middle of a make-the-morning-dark-as-night thunderstorm. The pics have been adjusted within an inch of … [Read more...]
Vegan Key Lime Pie (Nut-Free, Paleo & Raw too)
Hello there. In a fit of late-night brain-freeze I'm vignetting this, barely editing, and going to bed. Better buckle up. ------ On tenuous links... I'm hosting Sweet Adventures Blog Hop this month and with the hop starting on 17 March I simply had to make the theme St. Paddy's Day related. However, other than the festive green colour of this pie, any relation to the holiday, country of origin, or leprechauns at the end of rainbows are tenuous at best (and quite possibly … [Read more...]
Buttermilk Pumpkin Pie for Pi Day
Happy Pi Day! That's right, not Pie Day -- that one falls on 23 January each year as declared by The American Pie Council, "the only organisation committed to preserving America's pie heritage ... [to] raise awareness, enjoyment and consumption of pies". But Pi Day -- derived from the date matching the first three digits of Pi, an infinite non-repeating pattern created by the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter aka 3.14159265359andonandonitgoes. Apparently Pi Day was … [Read more...]

SABH March 2014: Luck o’the Irish – Plus 11 St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Ideas
I have a soft spot for St Patrick's Day -- it did after all serve as the backdrop for meeting RJ twelve years ago and pretty instantly changed any hazy plans I had for the future -- so when it came to picking a theme for this month's Sweet Adventures Blog Hop a celebration of all things green/rainbow/gold/potato/whiskey/stout/oatmeal was an obvious choice. Anything's game so long as it's Irish or inspired by St Patrick's Day festivities and the details about the hop are below -- but to … [Read more...]
Vegan Lemon Custard Cheesecake Bars {GF VG DF SF}
We weren't a family that had sweets on-hand very often. Cereal couldn't have sugar as either of the first two ingredients listed; cookies and ice cream did not make regular appearances; dessert after dinner wasn't really a feature. But when there were sweets, we went all out -- perhaps that's why desserts from my childhood are captured so vividly in my memory. The usual suspects of Pumpkin Pie and cookies through the holiday season. Piping hot triangle-shaped doughnuts on Thanksgiving … [Read more...]
Ooey-Gooey Gluten-Free Brownies
I could have called these the best gluten free brownies, ever; or perhaps secret ingredient brownies; or maybe even compost brownies; but ooey-gooey was simply too good a description to pass up. SEO be damned. These brownies, of course, have a touch of mad-science inspiration driving them forward ... but first a bit of background. Remember when I won that juicer a few months ago? Well RJ and I have been taking full advantage of summer fruit and veggies for juicing, but each time we'd … [Read more...]
