This was originally posted on June 30, 2008. Simple and delicious. This recipe is laced with cinnamon and topped with fresh blueberries. Awesome! When I was stuck in airports a few weeks ago, I ended up buying more than my share of magazines. One of them, O magazine, had a whole article about blueberries and tasty recipes to make with them.
Pithy and Cleaver » Alone in the Kitchen with a Zucchini
Alone in the Kitchen with a Zucchini My fiancé is a pretty flexible eater. He often picks the weirdest thing on a restaurant menu to order. He’s ok with cobbled-together meals of steamed greens and turkey meatballs (the sort of thing my father Would Not Enjoy.) There a just a few things Matt doesn’t like: olives (though we’re working on that), shrimp (they remind him of bugs, I think), mayo (which I don’t eat either), and sour cream (ditto. Our love is like, totally meant to be, right?)
Caramel Apple Cream Cheese Cookie Bars!
Good Thursday! Phew what a week, school started Tuesday for the boys and we are all still trying to get used to the new schedules. The earlier bedtime has been the trickiest. I have to admit, it’s been 7 years since I’ve had 4 hours to myself in the mornings. I hardly know what to do with myself, ok that was a joke. It’s great and I’m finding plenty to do.
Two Peas & Their Pod - StumbleUpon
Cinnamon Streusel Pancakes When we went to California in November, we spent a day eating our way through Los Angeles with our good friend, Amanda, from Kevin and Amanda. Amanda had a long list of food places for us to try. We started our food feast at The Griddle Cafe in Hollywood.
Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato (BLT) Pasta
People think that because I write a food blog that I must cook constantly. Well, it is true that I do enjoy getting in the kitchen and making great food for my family. However, if I’m being totally honest, there are days when by dinner time I’m just completely wiped out. Does that ever happen to you? I bet it does!
Cinnamon Toast Rolls
The USDA released its new food pyramid the other day (which is actually a plate now instead of a pyramid), and I am sorely disappointed to report that cinnamon rolls did not appear anywhere on that plate. I think by now most of us know what should be on our dinner plate in terms of healthy, well-rounded nutrient-laden meals, but it is my considered opinion that our breakfast plate should include cinnamon rolls now and then. And not just any cinnamon roll, mind you, but how ‘bout a homemade cinnamon roll hybrid that is a cross between a cinnamon roll and cinnamon toast, is super easy to make and gosh darn delicious. In honor of their ancestry, I call these little gems cinnamon toast rolls, and here’s all you need to make them… Yep.
Homemade Samoas & - StumbleUpon
Yeah, that’s right. I made homemade Samoas. OK, so these are a bit more time-consuming to make than your average cookies (there are a few assembly-related steps), but they are so worth it.
Mediterranean Orzo Macaroni and Cheese
Thanks so much for all your sweet, encouraging comments on teaching my first yoga class yesterday—it went awesome! Or at least, I think it went awesome. We’ll see who shows back up next week (I’m doing this community teaching for the next ten weeks as part of my training).
77 Healthy Crock-Pot Recipes
Crazy schedules, long work hours, and tempting takeout menus make it tough to even think about cooking most nights during the week. Despite the inconvenience, firing up the stove or oven is almost always cheaper and healthier than ordering in or eating out. How about a compromise?
Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches & Veggie Wedgie
I really love frozen bananas-who doesn’t? Raw banana ice cream has been one of my favorite treats since last summer- it’s so easy and quick to make! Now that the weather is warm again, I started making it more often but this time I thought I should try something different- I wanted to make ice cream sandwiches with banana filling, and since I was making the filling raw, I thought that it would be cool to also make the cookies raw, no? The result was pretty good : a very light, dairy free and nut free creamy treat!
