If you have used any of my recipes, you know that they are not always as descriptive as perhaps they should be. I sure learned this lesson in editing my cookbook. Personally, I think that's what makes them extra super amazingly special. Maybe it's that I am a Montessori kid and was a given a little freedom in how my edutainment learning was gonna go. All I know is that I have one rule in my kitchen when it comes to cooking. Read the recipe, understand the recipe, then own the recipe. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/04/16/recipe-apple-tart-for-one/feed/ 2 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/02/20/the-best-gluten-free-pizza-crust-ever/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/02/20/the-best-gluten-free-pizza-crust-ever/#comments Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:00:43 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=13400 We have a super special recipe, including a video for you on the best ever Gluten-Free Pizza Crust. Why? Because, today is the official launch of our AMAZING brand new online program The Gluten-Free Renewal Cleanse. Our pre-registration sale went so well that we sold out of the pre-reg spots on Saturday. We have just 50 more spots opening this morning at 10 am EST. Prices will go up tomorrow, so be lickity split and save some moolah. This program is going to transform not just how you look, but how you feel. There is seriously no simpler way to revamp your energy levels and kick that extra jiggle out the door than to eliminate gluten- and the badass addictive treats that contain it. This is your chance, my love, and there will 99 other people around the world kicking the habit with you.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/02/20/the-best-gluten-free-pizza-crust-ever/feed/ 30 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/02/08/orange-almond-coconut-muffins/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/02/08/orange-almond-coconut-muffins/#comments Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:00:59 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=12950 Delicious, gluten-free and vegan muffins made with natural sweeteners.

Live my creed - ya know, flirting with farmers, crunching on carrots, riding bicycles covered in flowers - then why haven't you entered this yet? Don't know what to make this weekend?

The preparation for this involved us cooking up 20 litres of soup. By the end of that weekend we were totally souped out. And then soome. Now, weeks later, we are still haunted by it for 3 reasons. 1) We still have 14 liters of soup in the fridge. 2) It still smells like curry in the kitchen. 3) We still have a box of juice monkey onions, 2 fart-worthy cauliflowers, one lonely old leek, and a big ol’ bag of carrots with no place to go. After giving most of it away at a workshop…and frankly to anyone on the streets who would take it, I decided to take a couple carrots home and turn them into something magical. And ooooh boy that I did. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/10/10/the-essence-of-fall-in-every-bite/feed/ 19 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/14/why-gluten-free-and-vegan-baking-rocks/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/14/why-gluten-free-and-vegan-baking-rocks/#comments Wed, 14 Sep 2011 10:00:22 +0000 admin http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=11221 It all started with my friend, Ashley. You could, in fact, call her my gluten-free muse! You see, Ashley follows a gluten-free and vegan lifestyle (which, as Meghan Telpner is fond of saying, has cured an incurable disease – Crohn’s). And when you are vegan and gluten-free, you can have some challenges around finding versions of your former favourite foods. One of these for Ashley, was bread. She could find breads she could eat at our amazing local health food stores, but they were often expensive. Or full of things like ‘potato starch’. And when you started out eating lovely unrefined whole grains, why would you want to switch over to white bread substitutes?]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/14/why-gluten-free-and-vegan-baking-rocks/feed/ 11 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/11/ginger-chocolate-chip-cookie-madness/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/11/ginger-chocolate-chip-cookie-madness/#comments Sun, 11 Sep 2011 10:00:53 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=11143 Everyone loves home baked cookies. And they really don’t take much time at all. You mix the dry. Chop a little chocolate. Throw a couple blobs of cookie dough on a parchment lined cookie sheet. And just like that, fresh home baked cookies are served! ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/11/ginger-chocolate-chip-cookie-madness/feed/ 0 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/22/recipe-cinnamon-bun-gluten-free-dairy-free-yeast-free/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/22/recipe-cinnamon-bun-gluten-free-dairy-free-yeast-free/#comments Mon, 22 Aug 2011 10:00:07 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=10996 When I took the bus to school in high school, I had to pass through the Yonge/Eglinton Subway station. Inside was a Cinnabon. For those of you who live outside the 30 countries where thay are now located, or managed to avoid shopping malls your whole life (and for that I would envy you), Cinnabon is the sweetest smelling cinnamon bun bakery there ever was. They are steamy hot, oooey, gooey, chewy and dripping in the sweetest icing. And passing through the building, smelling these at 3:30pm on a daily basis was torture. To my cravings and to my bum size. According to online sources, one Cinnabon contains 800 calories.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/22/recipe-cinnamon-bun-gluten-free-dairy-free-yeast-free/feed/ 18 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/19/a-weekend-with-meghan-making-the-most-of-summer-loving/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/19/a-weekend-with-meghan-making-the-most-of-summer-loving/#comments Fri, 19 Aug 2011 10:00:44 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=10935 Is this what weekends are like for non-biz owners? Where you get to come home at the end of the day on Friday and play all weekend long to your heart's content? On Monday I asked what you were doing to squeeze the last bits out of summer (though I may have used the words testicles and tittles somewhere in that paragraph). Last weekend I had the whole weekend to play. Things are about to get chaotic. VERY chaotic to say the least so the J-Man and I set out for some fun. I get oodles of requests to post my 'daily eats', which as I have said, is not really something I want to post about. Snooze fest I'm sure plus trying to eat what someone else eats is a bit like trying to squeeze into someone else's panties. Slightly uncomfortable and perhaps a little icky. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/19/a-weekend-with-meghan-making-the-most-of-summer-loving/feed/ 6
