Orange Marmalade Banana Muffins
I had made a whole whack of slow cooker marmalade ages ago and was about to throw it out but then thought I’d give it a taste. It was fine. I was also going through the last of the banana graveyard in my freezer so …

I bought dried white navy beans on impulse that last time I was in the grocery store (beans are good in pandemics). Plus, I’d never cooked them before so I thought, why not? This recipe is just a little riff on “Mom’s Navy White Beans” …
The Eatmore copy cat is probably a little healthier than the real deal. But, you still shouldn’t eat a whole pan (at least in one sitting). I have a sweet tooth. Actually, that is a lie. I have a mouth full of sweet teeth. Most of the time I behave myself, but I have to say that the #pandemicpantry is getting to me and today I took note of the two massive jars of peanut butter just sitting there. I’ve also been playing with a coconut flour recipe for no-bake bars this week and discovered the other day that mixing chocolate chips in to the warm dough makes something pretty close to a Reece’s Peanut Butter cup. Yah, those are gone now.
Makes 48 diagonal 1/4″ slices…ok maybe the are a bit fatter than 1/4″ – it’s not a deal breaker.
Peanut butter chocolate no-bake doom (I mean fudge) started out as a search for an Eatmore bar recipe I could make with what I had on hand. Alas, I did not have golden corn syrup so than I wondered what would happen if I just …
This barbeque sauce is based on the Homemade BBQ Sauce from Robyn Stone on Addapinch.com. I only wanted to make a half recipe and I had to substitute some ingredients but I’m pretty happy with the result. It’s tangy, smoky and will go well on …
This gluten-free focaccia started out as a riff on The Best Gluten-free Pizza Dough from Meaningfuleats.com. I had made some DIY Gluten-free Flour Blend from Glutenfreepalate.com and wanted to test drive it. However, the dough ended up super wet; probably because I didn’t measure the flours properly. Faced with dough “soup,” I added one 1/4 cup of coconut flour to see what would happen. Side note: my experimentation with bread goes back to my childhood when I decided white glue and coffee grounds were just the ticket for one particular loaf. How I didn’t cause a fire or some sort of deadly chemical gas I will never know. I was seven at the time and no one ate it so cut me some slack. Anyway, this is not that. On the contrary, the result in this case had a really nice internal structure and taste that reminded me of focaccia. I topped it with salt, pepper and zatar before baking. I will definitely make this again, but next time I will bake it on greased baker’s parchment.
This recipe for no-bake peanut butter bites is based on Arman Liew’s recipe for 3 Ingredient Vegan Peanut Butter Crack Bars. Thank you Arman in your “Big Man’s World.” My version is not vegan because I used honey and I also added 1 tsp of …
I won’t lie, this recipe takes time. But we are in the middle of a global pandemic and I’m stuck inside so time is what I have. I also have a lot of beans in the cupboard and I’ve always wanted to try making my …
I bought a bag of Corn Flour as part of my exploration of cooking without gluten. Turns out most recipes mix it with regular flour (insert frustrated, frowny-face emoji here). I did manage to find Corn Flour Biscuits with Maple Butter, courtesy of Barry from Rockrecipes.com. He’s the b’y that sails the boat and cooks up a storm on the other side of the country in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Thank you Barry! I decided I’d just substitute gluten-free flour. I did not give Compliments Gluten-free flour another shot at ruining yet another baking experiment. Sorry Compliments, you’ve got some work to do. The flour you produce just doesn’t cut it. Instead I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten-Free Flour. I also wanted to avoid milk and Barry’s biscuits required buttermilk, which I love, but I have friends who don’t drink milk, so I “asked the Google” if you could make buttermilk out of a plant-based milk. The Kitchen Professor said, “Hell Yes.” And here’s how. Now, I did use butter (I love butter) and lard, but if you wanted to I don’t see any reason you couldn’t try this with 1/2 cup vegetable shortening. If you do, let me know how it goes.
I love the way coconut flour smells. It’s a little tricky to use and I had to mess about with the measurements to get the right texture. The recipe is based on this 3 Ingredient Coconut Shortbread Flour Cookies but I ended up adlibbing because …
