When my school has inservice days, we do a breakfast potluck. I usually bring fruit, but I knew others would bring fruit, and I wanted to do something different for a change. I’m dairy free because I’m nursing Eleanor who has a milk protein allergy, so that really narrowed things down. I also wanted something […]
I was at the Farmer’s Market the other day pining over all of the beautiful produce, and admiring the increasing variety of other products sold there – lotions, soaps, plants, cheeses, etc. I came up to a stand of baked goods that looked good enough to make your mouth water, and I very nearly bought […]
Zucchini is one of those things that you can prepare a million different ways. Slice it, dice it, roast it, sautee it, grill it, fry it, put it in sauces, serve it with pasta, make zucchini bread, muffins, pancakes, tots, chocolate cake…the possibilities are endless if you use your imagination! The flavor of zucchini is very […]
Farro is new on the scene in my life. I’d heard about it for a while, but I never got around to trying it until I found a package of prepared farro at the local Tar-zhay store. Here’s a crash course on Farro. An ancient grain, farro is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates and has twice […]
So, I haven’t posted much since I’ve become a Mommy. I’m on summer break right now, so I can’t really complain about being too busy, but I am enjoying a lot of snuggles and smiles with my sweet little guy before I have to go back to work in four short weeks. I have cooked […]
Let me tell you about my new favorite pancake recipe. They’re so flavorful and fluffy, plus there’s all kinds of good stuff in them – whole wheat flour, oats, flax seeds.

As much as Tim and I love vegetables, there’s one that we really never cook just as a side dish. Carrots. We eat them raw and we use them in recipes, but we just don’t really eat cooked carrots. Until now. These are so delicious, I’ll definitely be adding them to our rotation. The carrots […]
I think I’m kind of obsessed with this granola bar thing. There are so many different ways to make them – I just can’t help myself! This time I went back to the old standby of peanut butter and chocolate chips, but I also used coconut oil and added coconut. Try to contain your excitement. […]
These muffins are amazing. In fact, they are so delicious, I think you could almost call them cupcakes. I know muffins are for breakfast, but I have no shame in admitting I’ve eaten them for dessert. The bananas and chocolate go so well together and the cinnamon and nutmeg add a bit of warmth. My […]
I think Elvis would be proud. This is the new breakfast of champions. I don’t even know what else to say about this recipe except that you have to try it. It’s UH-MAZE-ING. So delicious and decadent. It’s perfect for a weekend brunch. And it’s easy. I’d bet you already have all of the ingredients on hand. […]
