Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
I am tired. Being a stay-at-home-mom is no joke. It’s exhausting especially when your kiddo still doesn’t – gasp! – sleep through the night. That’s right. Lily, at 13 months, still wakes up throughout the night and needs to be nursed, rocked, or bounced back to sleep. This is neither the “right” nor the “wrong”…
Blame “mommy brain”, tiredness, or just plain old laziness, but the only recipe I could come up with for you this week is another version of my beloved coconut-oat macaroons. I’m nearing double digits with the number of macaroon variations I’ve posted, but I just can’t get enough the the crisp outside, chewy inside, and overall deliciousness…
For those of you who celebrated, how was your Thanksgiving? We hosted first time, and luckily, everything turned out well! John smoked the turkey, and I made a streusel sweet potato casserole, sausage stuffing, fresh whole berry cranberry sauce, sauteed green beans, roasted Brussels sprouts, vegan pumpkin ice cream, apple pie & pecan pie. We…
If I delivered presents to children around the world in one night, these are one of the cookies I’d like to refuel with. Crispy outside, soft inside, and a delectable hybrid of coconut macaroons & classic peanut butter cookies, they are healthy enough to eat for breakfast but tasty enough to satisfy your sweet tooth….
If you’re looking for a delightful and tangy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion, you’ve come to the right place. This Blood Orange Olive Oil Loaf Cake with Yogurt Sauce is a delightful treat that combines the bold flavors of blood oranges with the richness of olive oil and the creaminess of yogurt. It’s a…
That title is quite a mouthful for what is a rather simple loaf-style snack cake but I didn’t want to leave anything out! Citrus shines during the cold months, and cold it is indeed. At least it is here in Massachusetts. We have snow on top of ice on top of snow, and Lily &…
Nearly three years ago I posted a recipe for Purple Cow Frozen Yogurt, which I loved… but sadly waited this long to make for the second time (precisely the reason for these Throwback Thursday posts!). This time around I used chopped dark & white chocolate rather than chips, but otherwise followed my recipe as previously written….
Why is it that – when it comes to fruity cream cheese flavors – berries get all of the fun? I’ve seen blueberry & strawberry cream cheese… but never a tropical-inspired variety. That all changes now with this delightfully different mango coconut cream cheese. Slightly sweet, pale yellow-hued, and reminiscent of leisurely tropical breakfasts, this…
One of the best things about not being pregnant anymore (the ultimate being – of course – enjoying our amazing baby girl!) is that my appetite and ability to eat an entire meal has returned. I struggled with morning all-day sickness (thanks, hormones) throughout the first trimester and could barely clean my plate of downsized portions by…
I almost shed a tear the day I polished off my Coconut-Oat Macaroons. I had been thoroughly enjoying a couple of the chewy cookies after dinner, night after night, and the empty container was a wake-up call: I NEEDED to make another batch. What with the warmer weather right around the corner, (er, maybe a few…
