I've discovered Quinoa flour! I was able to easily substitute 1/2 cup of the all purpose flour with Quinoa flour. This added a full 8 gms protein and only 4 gms of unsaturated fat.

Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.

I am not a very accomplished cook, and I certainly don't consider myself a seasoned baker. However, I found an incredibly simple bread recipe for a bread that met all my nutritional standards. It's made primarily from spelt flour which is far more nutritious than wheat (and not refined), and contains no yeast.

Yesterday, I had a crummy, stressful day at work. It was one of those days when the higher-ups are freaking out about an impossible deadline at the end of the week, getting everyone else all stirred up and anxious, only to find out later that the deadline is actually two weeks away. It was frustrating and tiring.

I made a loaf of rosemary focaccia today and unfortunately am a little disappointed. It's a bit too dense and rose too much while baking. It's still good, just not awesome. I think I added too much flour.

Another one from Gluten Free:
Focaccia with Chestnut Flour
In Italy this recipe is traditionally made with chestnut flour. In fact, chestnut flour is used extensively in Italian baking as it imparts a nutty and slightly sweet flavor that adds richness to pastries and breads. Focaccia is often made with fennel seed or rosemary and chopped or whole pine nuts.

It's harvest time for apples and pears, and nothing says Autumn like warm crisp featuring both Fall fruits. Here is a variation of a recipe from RecipeZaar. I substituted a few things like Sucanat for brown sugar, whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, and Earth Balance margarine in place of butter.

Every weekend I have this little obsession of browsing through the recipes of Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Martha Stewart & Sunset magazines in search for a little inspiration or a recipe that is unique and fun. This Sunday I had a hankering for something Fall, Halloween themed and Sassy. Something that I could easily ship to work to feed my coworkers and something that I could add a personal twist too.
