Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
Despite it being the second day of Spring, New England is on the brink of yet another snowstorm. I’m savoring a slice of this cake/bread hybrid as I go between typing and glaring out at the menacing gray sky. Yep, I am 100% done with winter, but at least I have a delicious snack to help me…
1. I finished reading this fantastic novel last week… and let me just say that Stephen King’s literary genius has been displayed once again. A departure from his trademark horror genre, this work of historical fiction explores what might have happened had JFK survived the assassination by Lee Harvey Oswald. Highly recommended! 2.

1. It happens every weekend. I clean the kitchen only to dust flour over the counters, splatter oil on the stove, and drip beaten egg/juice/other liquid onto the floor mere minutes later. I just can’t win. Thus is life as a recipe developer I suppose. 2. Somehow I ended up on Greatist’s 60 Must-Read Health &…
1. On Friday I attended the grand opening of a brand-new Trader Joe’s location at Patriot Place… yep, right next door to Gillette Stadium where the Patriots play! There are probably 10 TJs locations within a 20 mile radius of where we live, but this one is now the closest mileage-wise, as well as the largest!…
I have a few thank-yous to toss out there for this recipe. First of all, a thank-you to Michelle of Lucky Taste Buds for masterminding the Peanut Butter Jelly Banana Bread recipe that I changed only slightly (I added vanilla and cinnamon, used half the amount of sweetener, and opted for unsweetened varieties of both vanilla almond milk and…
I’ve been on a total macaroon kick since making the Coconut-Oat Macaroons and then the Lemon Coconut-Oat Macaroons. Unfortunately, my attempt at macaroon ice cream was a flop, but this granola fulfilled my expectations! The pre-baked granola mixture looks like the batter for those macaroons, no? It smells just like it, too. Especially when baking in the oven….
Berry-flavored breakfast grains used to be relegated to sugar- and artificial ingredient-packed cereals designed for kids.

The answer is a resounding “Yes!” With this recipe, you can indulge…

This single-serving pancake recipe combines the irresistible combination of graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate into a fluffy and indulgent pancake. You’re cooking for yourself…
This was one of those recipes that I initially had no intention of blogging about, as it pretty much came together as I cooked. Then I tasted the chicken filling and saw the tempting bubbling, cheesy finished product and it struck me that it would be cruel to keep this recipe from you. How could…
I couldn’t let National Sandwich Month pass by without one more creation – this time in panino form! I made the panino twice; the first time using whole wheat bread and a panini press… … and the second time with whole wheat cinnamon raisin bread and a skillet + panini weight. So which version came out on…
