Almond Torte
This Almond Torte recipe was submitted with love for all of us gluten-intolerants by Kathleen Selleck, owner of the now-closed Victorian Rose Tea Garden and Gifts Restaurant in California.
Kale Chips
For the Kale Chips, tear, slice or cut the kale leaf from the stem into bite sized pieces. Put them into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Toss until thoroughly coated then place the pieces single-layer onto cookie sheets and bake until crisp—about 15-20 minutes.
Bird Cupcakes
Bird Cupcakes are for high-energy in the winter. A suet treat in a decorator cup. They don’t last long around our house. The Blue Jay’s screech like birds of prey to scare the smaller birds off so they can gobble these things up. One cupcake lasts about 6 minutes. They get one/day because they’re just piggy about these things!
Zucchini Pancakes
Zucchini Pancakes is a simple recipe for vegetables you can use to trick your kids into eating their vegetables. Pretend you are creating a recipe (knowing the ingredients ahead of time) and let the kids find things to put into it. Give them choices like, “which cheese do you think would cook better?” and “Which herbs do you think would mix with this vegetable?” Then let them smell the herbs and make the choices. Inventing something is more inviting to having them try it. Explain why you put eggs into the pancakes and what different oils and fats there are to cook with and which can be heated, etc. Then let them tell you which fat to cook the pancakes in. It worked for me with my step kids (once!)
Zucchini Soup
I love this recipe because it is so high in minerals. All the vegetables for Zucchini Soup come ripe at the same time in the garden so it’s easy to just harvest and process in one day. It tastes great and gets great reviews.
