With my book off my plate (for now), my classes humming along, and being all rested with the sun shining, I was inspired to get baking. I am not one of those tidy cooks, as you may have guessed. Recipe creation for me is this mad mess of ingredients, tools, music and dancing. The result is this...]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/03/26/double-chocolate-chocolate-spiced-cookie-amazingness/feed/ 10 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? Three great dishes to get you through the week and have fun making them now. And of course- dessert comes first.

It's that sweet, sweet time again. That time where my dad comes over to the kitchen, we paint cat whiskers on our face as we dress up as Halloween Cats. In the past, you have seen us as Cat Burglars, Cool Cats, and Jungle Cats. This year we went for a Mexican Cat theme makes almost no sense at all but since my dad and I have this ability to take an idea and run with it- we ran and no one caught up with us to tell us it made no sense. In fact, even my dad and I didn't notice that it made no sense until we actually started filming- wondering what cats had to do with Mexico and what Mexico or cats had to do with brownies or pumpkin. Love us simply for our stream of consciousness and creativity. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/10/31/all-things-pumpkin-pumpkin-spice-brownies-mexican-style/feed/ 22 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/10/10/the-essence-of-fall-in-every-bite/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/10/10/the-essence-of-fall-in-every-bite/#comments Mon, 10 Oct 2011 10:00:36 +0000 admin http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=11521 A few weeks ago, the team here participated in an event called Soupalicious. 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/2011/09/16/friday-fundies/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/16/friday-fundies/#comments Fri, 16 Sep 2011 10:00:37 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=11202 Well didn't we have just the most fun ever at last weekend's Vegetarian Food Festival? Didn't we? How can you not have fun when there are grown men running around dressed as giant peas? I was busy sharing my wares at my booth. I was most excited about how excited everyone was over our brand new creed, irish moss, tote bags, and sleeping masks (with fabric I designed myself, I might add!) ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/16/friday-fundies/feed/ 5 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/2011/09/13/check-out-my-cookies/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/13/check-out-my-cookies/#comments Tue, 13 Sep 2011 10:00:57 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=11153 I was offered a task. It's one of those tasks that make me want to cartwheel over the kind of tasks that have become part of my job. My long lost lover, fellow nutritionista, long distance pen pal, around the world adventurer, and momma friend Gabriela, the wordstress and recipe mistress behind the blog The Picky Foodie, emailed me asking if I would play in her cookie games. Her desire was to for 10 of her food loving/ baking friends from around the fair globe to take her basic cookie recipe and make it our own. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/13/check-out-my-cookies/feed/ 13 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
