Make Green, Vegan Icing For St. Patrick's Day with Avocado! By Elizabeth Seward IN Food & Health Mar 16 2009 My friends like to call me names. Names like Betty Crocker, Martha Stewart, Suzie Homemaker...and the list goes on. Fine, I'll admit it: I like to bake. But that doesn't mean that I like to bake in the traditional fattening, not-so-eco-conscious way. With today being St. Patrick's Day and me being an entire 1/4 Irish, of course I'll be making some clover-shaped cookies. And they will be delicious sugar cookies. And they will have green icing.

No Fuss Valentine's Meals to Impress Your Sweetheart: Gnudi with Wild Mushrooms By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Feb 9 2009 I originally thought that gnudi would be something like gnocci, those delicious little Italian potato dumplings. You have to have a real touch to make gnocchi, or else they turn out rubbery and tough, which I can attest to from personal experience. Gnudi is actually more like the stuffing of ravioli, but without the pasta skin. They were quite simple to make and they had a wonderful light texture and flavour. + READ MORE

Here Are Some Menu Ideas for Dinner on the 25th By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Dec 23 2008 If you don't celebrate Christmas, all the hullabaloo can send you out looking for something distinctly un-Christmas like to do with your day. My husband is Jewish and before we were married, he used to spend the day in a movie theater and then go out for Chinese food.
