Sunbutter — the name alone just sounds friendly, doesn’t it? Actually, Sunbutter is a registered trademark, so I think that I have to call my version sunflower seed butter or something that isn’t Sunbutter.

I know that this may not look like much, but one bite instantly transports me back to my childhood summers. So, what is this weird, brownish food? In my family, we call it zucchini pudding, and my mum always made it during summer zucchini season. I was actually a bit surprised when I did a little bit of searching and found that pretty much all of the zucchini pudding recipes floating around are for savory puddings. Zucchini pudding, as I know it, is a cross between a custard-y pumpkin pie filling and zucchini bread, and it’s just wonderful served warm with a little milk — coconut milk in this instance — poured over the top.

These days, I order most of my spices from Penzey’s, and a big thank you to Alton Brown and Good Eats for introducing me to this place. Penzey’s has pretty much every spice you can imagine, and I can really taste the difference between the quality in their spices and those that I pick up at the grocery store. I also appreciate the great prices that they have on bulk spices like ground ginger, cinnamon, and chili powder, which I seem to use by the bucketful.

Now that you’ve made your own sweet, sweet jam, wouldn’t you love to slather it on a warm and fluffy biscuit with some butter?

I’ve learned a lot about making gluten free biscuits along the way.

A few years ago, I bought my first ice cream maker. My head was filled with fantasies of making my own custom ice cream, flavored in any wild and wonderful way that I could imagine. It was a great time, and then I actually made something. My wild and wonderful custom ice cream ideas came crashing down when I discovered that, after an overnight session in the freezer, my ice cream was as hard as a block of ice. Like, a you-need-an-ice-pick-to-get-into-it hard.

I love potatoes. Mashed, fried, baked, sweet, or however you want to prepare them. Put a potato in front of me, and I’ll find something to do with it.
