Plant-Forward Living with Rebecca Coleman
I only had Banoffee Pie for the first time quite recently. I think I had it at Chewie’s, which does a pretty great version, considering it’s a NOLA-inspired restaurant. You see, Banoffee is quite a British dessert; it’s a mix of bananas, pastry cream and …
This cake has rapidly become my go-to when it comes to birthdays. Truthfully, I am kind of snob when it comes to baked goods. Despite the fact that my kid loves Oreos, we very seldom have them in the house. I prefer to send him …
It’s Thanksgiving this weekend, and you know what that means… Tofurky for all! Okay, so not really… I’m not the hugest Tofurkey fan, but I am grateful for all the great vegetarian versions of holiday feasts out there that give me an alternative to the …

Recipe number 2 this week on the theme of coconut-lime! This is a variation of the lemon meringue pie that I wrote for my cookbook, Aquafabulous! I just made it up, though, so it didn’t actually make it into the cookbook… whoops! This is really, …

If there’s one thing that defines my values as a foodie (other than taste; the buck always stops there), it’s eat local. Supporting local farmers and eating seasonally is something I’m really passionate about, because it’s good for the economy, and the more money that …

I get so obsessed with cooking with herbs this time of the year. I guess it’s partly because I have so many of them. In my garden I grow sage, rosemary, chives and oregano, and I’ve just harvested a ton of rosemary and have it …
The blueberries have arrived! This is the part of summer where things are getting serious. Every week, there’s more and more at the Farmer’s Market, and blueberries are currently happening. There are a lot of things that pair well with blueberries. Rosemary is one of …
