Chickpea pancakes stuffed with spinach and mushrooms, grapes

A nomelet is a savory pancake wrapped around a hearty filling, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light meal. This version updates a classic Cook for Good recipe to make it Nutritarian friendly. I took out the oil and added mushrooms. I also switched from yellow onions to red ones for more phytonutrients. Because this […]

April 25, 2019 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

chickpea-flour omelette or nomelette filled with kale, open

The result has the toothsome tenderness of an omelet without any cholesterol or disturbing uncooked gooey parts. It’s gluten-free too. My classic recipe calls for a filling […]

Queenie’s Apple Strudel

November 9, 2018 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

Do you wish you could wave your wand to summon a magical apple strudel like the one Queenie made in the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? You’ll have to go to Ilvermorny for that, but you can follow my recipe to make your own muggle-style. It’s easier than pie with store-bought filo pastry dough […]
