Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
I thought I’d give you a hug – in chocolaty banana bread form – on this Monday morning. Even though I don’t work out of the house, I occasionally get a case of the Mondays. Who doesn’t, right?! Anyway, I’m not suggesting that you eat your emotions; but let’s be honest, knowing there’s something this delicious…
This cookie dough dip happened by accident. Or rather… the ingredients that I whipped together accidentally turned into a dip. My original intention was to make cookie dough balls, but the mixture I ended up with was too thin to form into anything other than a gloppy mess. As I stood in the kitchen eating…
After taking a brief hiatus from posting sweet potato recipes, I’m back with yet another. I still haven’t tired of the sweet orange vegetable, and I hope that you haven’t either! This loaf is incredibly moist for a bread comprised of two types of whole wheat flour and neither butter nor oil. The combination of…
The second sandwich I ordered from Mendocino Farms during our trip to California might have been even better than the first. There was no way I wasn’t going to recreate it at home, and I finally got around to doing just that. The flavors and textures of this sandwich simply work. Rich & creamy brie, tangy goat cheese, sweet caramelized…
1. First things first. I have a new (incredibly dangerous) obsession. Much more flavorful than my beloved Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter, Wafels & Dinges Spekuloos Spread is utterly addictive. I have to thank Kelli for mentioning this product in the comments on my Speculoos Cookie Butter Baked Oatmeal post; I LOVE it =). I can say with certainty admit that the majority…
1. My latest play-on-repeat favorite-of-the-moment song is We Are Young by Fun. I downloaded the song just a few days ago and it has already reached over 10 plays on my iTunes playlist. 2. While on the topic of current favorites, the show Frozen Planet on the Discovery Channel completely took over my evening last night. I will just…
The pairing of apples and cheddar cheese is just one of those culinary combinations that work beautifully well. The crisp sweet fruit is the perfect vehicle for the buttery piquant cheese. I can remember many family hikes fueled by freshly picked McIntosh apples, thick slices of sharp cheddar cheese, and either hearty whole wheat bread…
As excited as I am to start cooking and baking with my favorite fall foods, I’ve convinced myself to take full advantage of late summer’s in-season produce for the time being. Although the official Autumnal Equinox is a little over two weeks away, Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer for many, and is…
I am devoting this week to three tropical recipes because: (a) I’ve been craving the fresh and bright flavors indicative of island fare. (b) I’ve been daydreaming about warm water, wide expanses of sand, and cool ocean breezes. The first of these recipes features sweet potatoes and a delicious tropical fruit. Any guesses as to…
This post marks the first in a new series I’m going to endearingly refer to as “Blog Bites“. Every now and then, I will photograph, describe, and link back to recipes from around the blogosphere that I’ve made and enjoyed. I’ve been making recipes from other blogs for as long as I myself have been…
