Welcome to my recipe collection.

These recipes offer a delicious mix of new and old world flavors. From the kitchens of my mother and grandmother in Transylvania to the new fusion mixes from my home kitchen in Canada. I have been inspired by the fickle tastes of my children ( vegetarian, pescatarian or whichever way the wind may blow) and my desire to become healthier without compromising taste. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Leave me comments and your favorite recipes!

MANGO & BANANA BREAD

3 Tablespoons ground flaxseeds
½ cup non-dairy milk
¼ cup coconut sugar
¼ cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ cup chopped fresh mango
½ cup mashed very ripe banana
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup whole spelt flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ tsp sea salt
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.  Grease two small (5inch) loaf pans with coconut oil.
  2. Whisk the flaxseeds with non-dairy milk and coconut sugar. Let stand one minute.
  3. Whisk in coconut oil, vinegar, mango, and banana, and whisk until smooth- but chunks of mango are good!
  4. In a large bowl mix remaining ingredients.  Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, and stir gently to combine.
  5. Divide evenly between baking pans, smooth top, and sprinkle with some whole flaxseeds and a bit of the coconut sugar. Bake for 25-28 minutes. Check for doneness using a toothpick.  Let cool before slicing.
Yield: 2 small loaves, or 10-16 slices
