Pork-wrapped pork? On a health-conscious food blog?! You bet. Although certain pork cuts (ahem, bacon) rarely make an appearance on my plate, others (pork chops, pork tenderloin) grace our dinner table about once per week. Boneless pork chops contain only a touch more calories and fat than boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and when cooked successfully,…

Yes, I admit I have a slight obsession with all things carrot cake-inspired.

Their vibrant hue makes fresh cranberries a festive touch to a…
I’m just going to throw this out there: I love pizza… but I might love calzones even more. Basically pizza in pocket form, calzones can be stuffed with just about anything your little heart desires. On this particular occasion, my heart was pitter-pattering over vibrant homemade pesto, creamy ricotta cheese (part-skim, of course), tender zucchini,…
Hello Friends, Some of you might have noticed that I had a briefly posted recipe for Carrot Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting on the blog earlier today.

As you can imagine, it was borderline…
It’s back to school work time! There are many great perks to working in a school, but the best is inarguably having nearly three months of summer freedom. Freedom to read book after book up on the roof deck, to take Shelby (our dog) on long walks along the Esplanade, to meet friends for leisurely mid-week lunches, and…
