ericapiper asked: Here is a recipe I came across on Tumblr. It sounds like a delicious and nutritious substitute for traditional pizza crust (I LOVE pizza), but I was wondering if you might have any suggestions to replace the mozzarella cheese in the crust mixture. Nothing against mozzarella, I just don't know about making the crust AND topping the pizza with it! Thanks!

In season-Persimmons!!!
Fruits and vegetables that have a brief season are sometimes sadly ignored. They just aren’t around long enough or perhaps they’re not familiar enough to be in your culinary repetoire. But come on, isn’t it fun to discover that you not only love a seasonal variety but that their fleeting appearance helps celebrate that time of year? Watermelon at its peak in the summer, corn...
Knife Sale
This is a one day deal at Williams Sonoma.
If you don’t have good knives (I didn’t for the longest time) it is a great investment. They will last and last and make your time in the kitchen so much easier. Just be very careful, if you’re not used to sharp knives you have to be really attentive while you get used to them!

Looks like huge wedges of cheese or huge cheesecakes, but it is halvah! I am not a huge halvah fan but know many people who love it. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, halvah is a confection usually made by mixing tahini with honey, and adding additional flavors to create many varieties. Some are super sweet, some less sweet.
This looks like it would be a halvah dream come...

Tofu Blueberry "Pie"
I’ve been making this for years and it’s so easy! This recipe is so versatile-I eat it for breakfast, or as a snack, or for dessert. It is not too sweet and is packed with protein and antioxidants from the blueberries. It isn’t really a pie, but is cooked in a pie pan and can be sliced or spooned into a bowl.
