When I came across this recipe over at Vegan Good Things back in May, I very swiftly bookmarked it. Anything with peanut butter in it is pretty much awesome in my books. But PB&J? That's even better. I never thought that it would take me this long to get around...

Apple & Plumb Crumble
As you may have read in my Roasted Fresh Tomato Soup post, I've been going a little overboard at the farmers' market lately. I never used to make the effort to get up early and go to farmer's markets, but I have to say that it has since become something...

Coconut Oil
The next topic in my What's That? series is Coconut Oil. You may have been hearing about it a lot lately so I thought that it would be nice to summarize some of the myths and facts surrounding it. I've only just discovered it relatively recently myself, but have to...
