Ann's Angel Food

Cooking is one of my deep joys. The food I eat has changed over the years. I’ve gone off gluten, eat very little processed sugar, and have been eating “clean” for the most part. While that may sound like depravation to some, I see it as a creative challenge! Unwilling to give up flavor, I’ve come to love the taste of fresh natural foods, vibrant spices, healthy oils, and herbs galore.

Enjoy conventional recipes from my eat-everything days, vegetarian recipes from those seasons of my life, and a lot of really healthy, fun recipes that taste better than you’d believe, given how nutritious they really are!

When you want a super flavorful apple crisp but don't feel like cooking try this. Apples, citrus, chai spices, and candied ginger will delight your taste buds!

Sweet & Spicy Warm Cabbage and Carrot Slaw

A traditional type of slaw gets a burst of Asian-inspired flavors when you warm it up and add mustard seed, cumin, and ginger. Crunchy, yummy, and lasts for quite awhile in the fridge.

No Cook Gluten Free Peach Cobbler

Fresh peaches with a crumble crust of walnuts and dates create a gluten free raw-food delight. Fresh, sweet, and a perfect desert. If you don't want to overdo the sugar, serve it with greek yogurt instead of ice cream.

Quick and Easy Mushroom Soup

Once, after being somewhat under the weather I started to crave something warm and comforting and this crazy, easy idea popped into my head. So easy its ridiculous and at the same time so soothing.

Curried Veggies & Rice

My wonderful hairdresser Tricia Royall served me a dish with cauliflower, curry, and chickpeas. I fell in love with it, so of course I had to go home and make my own version! Its light, summery, healthy, and flavorful! If you want to add a kick, serve with a little chile sauce added in.

Grilled Portobello and Roasted Veggie Burger

One fourth of July my body wanted veggies and my mind wanted a burger and these delicious portobello burgers satisfied both needs very well! Served with pesto, grilled eggplant slices, and roasted red peppers, they are a vegetarian delight!

Potato and Green Bean Salad

Add a little twist to your summer potato salad with the addition of green beans and you have a refreshing variation of the classic summer side.

Easy “Oh Yes” Ono Fish

Nothing like a little balsamic and butter to flavor this wonderful Hawaiian white fish! Very versatile depending on what sides you serve with it.

Easy Asian Inspired Broccoli

Ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar make this broccoli salad an Asian-inspired delight.

Easy Shrimp & Vegetable Curry

I have never met a curry I didn't like! Carrots, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, snap peas, chick peas, shrimp or chicken and a delicious yellow curry sauce are comfort food at its best.

My Favorite Black Beans

Onion, garlic, and cumin flavor a batch of plain black beans and give them a wonderful southwestern flavor. Another favorite of mine.

Almost Raw, Super Easy Banana Pudding

This couldn't be easier. Mix a few ingredients in the blender and chill. call it "almost raw" because the vanilla extract is probably heated. If you're a raw purist, get a vanilla pod and scrape the insides into the blender instead. It isn't as pretty as cooked banana pudding - it turns brown instead of yellow, so if you serve to company, you might want to garnish it a bit or load it up with whipped cream! Nonetheless, it is yummy and oh so healthy!
