my favorite Ulu recipes

Current song, “The River” by Cat Clyde.   Last night I led my second cooking demo that was in front of a very large crowd. If you know me personally, you know I am soft spoken, very much an introvert, and absolutely NOT someone to jump at opportunities that put me in the spotlight. Well, […]

Banana Turmeric Muffins

Current song, “07.11.11” by Jose Gonzalez.   I am on a turmeric kick. Although, that’s nothing short of the usual with me.

Chewy Holiday Oatmeal Cookie

Chewy Holiday Oatmeal Cookie. Vegan and Gluten Free

Since discovering this oatmeal cookie recipe I have made it, recreated it, and made it time and time again mostly for selfish reasons so that I could always have oatmeal cookies around the house and partly because the recipe is perfect and should be shared with everyone.
