Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
I’m thinking about bringing back the all-American “Friday pizza night”. Or, if not every Friday, then at least making pizza one night every week. With pizza dough available at most grocery stores these days and infinite possibilities for toppings, homemade pizza couldn’t be an easier or more fun weekday meal. For this Southwestern-style pie, I…
Now that the sugar rush of Halloween has passed, I bet you’re either a) done with sweets for a while or b) looking for a healthier way to satisfy your sweet tooth. If your answer is a), then I can’t help you because I have a daily desire for sweets… which obviously means if your…
Sour Cream & Onion Dip… kinda, sorta because there’s neither sour cream nor onions in this dip – well, there’s granulated onion – but it does taste like sour cream & onion. Whipped cottage cheese and Greek yogurt team up to form the creamy component of the dip, which is flavored with dill pickle juice, granulated onion…
It’s almost Valentine’s Day, which means one thing when it comes to food: chocolate. I’ve combined two classic chocolate desserts – brownies & dark chocolate – into perfect little two-bite treats. The inside of these chocolate cups is actually comprised of walnuts, dates, cocoa powder, and a few flavor additions, but it tastes so similar to brownie…
John and I have a running joke that we eat a lot of “kid food” in our house (this started before Lily was born, by the way). I make pizza every Friday night, John grills burgers on a regular basis throughout the summer, and he also makes some killer baked chicken fingers (I should encourage…
Have you ever had spaghetti squash? If not, allow me to introduce you to a rather bizarre – but quite delicious – member of the squash family… a member that appears to have been cross-bred with a plate of spaghetti. The squash is baked until soft, cut open, and scraped of its pulp to reveal…
Hanukkah commences with tonight’s sunset, and I wanted to make a traditional dessert to commemorate my Jewish heritage on my dad’s side of the family. Every time we’d visit my paternal grandparents in Riverdale, NY, my grandma would make a trip to a bakery on Arthur Avenue for chocolate babka and rugelach. This marks my…
All pharmaceutical companies try to market their drugs in the most simple and appealing ways possible. Often, the side-effects of the drugs fail to be mentioned, or major side-effects are written off as being no big deal. It is the customers then, that have to suffer through the consequences. In this article, we will talk…
Here we go: the latest installment of recipes around the blogosphere that I’ve recently made and loved! This Maple Pecan Streusel Pumpkin Bread (as seen on Princess in the Kitchen, originally from Believing Boldly) immediately caught my attention on Pinterest. The reason you don’t see an entire loaf documented in this post? Simple. I mowed through half of the…
On this first day of December, I thought it appropriate to post a recipe for steaming hot, comforting, nutrient-packed stew. As you can probably surmise, I’m not typically a meat-and-potatoes kind of girl; but these ingredients become more appealing to me as the hours of daylight wane and the temperature drops. I don’t often prepare…
