Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
If you’re reading this post, that must mean that you haven’t given up on me despite my sporadic posting as of late; and for that, I wholeheartedly thank you! Life is happily crazy with two kiddos, and I am having difficulty finding time to devote to the blog. Nevertheless, I’m not giving up developing recipes…
There’s no doubt about it: this granola is completely dessert-worthy! The oat mixture itself has all of the flavors of cookie dough, and when you add chocolate chips to the toasted oats, they melt into clumps of chocolate chip cookie deliciousness. Name: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dessert Granola Cuisine: Dessert Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 30…
Snack cake. Those two words – individually – make me happy, but put them together and I’m downright blissful. Cake that you can justifiably get away with eating at any time of day? I’m in 100%. How about you? If for some odd reason you’re still not sold, just feast your eyes on that glossy…
I typically eat plain yogurt, but when I was offered the chance to try Noosa Bhakti Chai and Pumpkin Yoghurt, I accepted without hesitation… and I am so glad I did because this yogurt is fantastic! Thick, rich, and creamy plain yogurt is swirled with ribbons of sweetly spiced yogurt. It’s certainly dessert-worthy, but I made an…
Pumpkin spice gets all of the love this time of year, (I succumb to the temptation as well, and will be posting a pumpkin spice recipe soon), but what about other aromatic autumnal spice combinations? Chai spice is basically pumpkin spice with the addition of cardamom and allspice; you’ve still got the sweet cinnamon, spicy ginger,…
As mentioned in my Crunchy Chai Granola Clusters post, I’m still infatuated with pumpkin spice everything. Year after year by the end of summer, I find myself on the edge of my seat waiting not only for cooler weather, cozy sweaters, and vibrant fall foliage, but also for the return of the pumpkin spice craze. Name Pumpkin…
I made a batch of my friend Erin’s 100% Whole Grain Cinnamon Apple Muffins – for, oh maybe the fifth or sixth time (they’re THAT good) – and while John was enjoying one he asked if I could make a coffee cake version. I nonchalantly said “sure”, but couldn’t get the idea of the coffee cake muffins out…
I love me some cookie butter. Ya know, that insanely addictive stuff from Trader Joe’s that disappears from the jar in no time. The caveat is that the ingredients are less than stellar; actually, the ingredients are such a departure from the food that I typically consume, that I haven’t bought TJ’s cookie butter in…
As a mother of a 2 1/2 year old, nutrition and health is constantly on my mind. Ensuring that you yourself are eating a balanced diet and getting all of your essential vitamins & minerals can be challenging enough, but add in a little human being who is entirely reliant on you for providing 3 healthy…
We are currently immersed in an oppressive heat wave here in New England. I know some of you are probably rolling your eyes at my inability to handle a humid 95°, but I am just not cut out for the heat… especially humid heat. All I want to eat is cold, frosty, fruity, frozen goodness such…
