I have long enjoyed quiche, but generally thought of it as too difficult and too decadent to make at home on a regular basis. And while it's true that quiche can be both of those things, with pie crusts, heavy cream, and fillings like bacon and tons of cheese, it certainly doesn't have to be. … Continue reading Quiche (with two easy crusts – whole grain or grain free!)

Kale and Quinoa Salad
Hi everyone! I've been taking a break from posting as I adjusted to being a mom of 3 (!), but I certainly haven't taken a break from cooking. And so now that my littlest one is a little more settled, I thought it was high time I shared with you one of my new favorite … Continue reading Kale and Quinoa Salad
Easy Whole Wheat Pancakes
For years, my go-to pancake recipe has been these Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes, which I love. So when hubby offered to make pancakes a few weeks back and instead reverted back to a recipe I made ages ago (and had pretty much forgotten about!), I was curious. I had stopped using that recipe because it … Continue reading Easy Whole Wheat Pancakes
Roasted Tomato Sauce
This summer I developed a bit of a tomato problem. The organic tomatoes at the farmer's market were so irresistible, I was buying pounds each week and eating them every day. Which would have been fine if I didn't also buy a 25 pound box of tomatoes being sold for an amazing price...and then another...and … Continue reading Roasted Tomato Sauce
Kale Soup with Farro
I love soups in the winter - they are so comforting, and can also be so nourishing when prepared at home! Store-bought soups are often too salty and loaded with flavorings, questionable meats, and refined carbs that do not contribute anything to our health. But at home, if you can chop a few veggies and … Continue reading Kale Soup with Farro
Spinach Egg Bake
One of my favorite dishes for potlucks and company are these mini-frittatas which are delicious and absolutely adorable! But to be perfectly honest, scooping each frittata and then getting them out of the pan is a bit of a pain, so when I'm just looking for a simple egg dish, I've been making this modified … Continue reading Spinach Egg Bake
Slow Cooker Refried Beans
I know beans are good for me. I really do! But as a recovering picky eater (thank you to Real Mom Nutrition for that phrase!), they are on my list of foods I am still working on. It's the texture, really, which is why I love lentil soup and garbanzo burgers, and am totally happy … Continue reading Slow Cooker Refried Beans
Cookie Dough Snack Balls
A few months ago I told you about one of our new favorite snacks - these Fudgy Snack Balls - which continue to be a staple in our rotation. The concept is really flexible, though, with variations on this date/nut ball theme all over the internet. So in the spirit of experimentation, I decided to … Continue reading Cookie Dough Snack Balls
The Best Broccoli Salad
I am in love with this recipe. Seriously, it is so surprisingly good, it even got my "but I don't LIKE broccoli" insisting 4-yr-old to utter words I never expected to hear: "more broccoli please!" So here's the gist: the broccoli is raw, but tossing it with the hot, vinegar-y dressing is enough to turn it a … Continue reading The Best Broccoli Salad
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Homemade Barbecue Sauce
Last weekend we invited friends over for our first barbecue of the season. Except I was really in the mood for pulled pork, and ended up planning a whole menu that did not involve turning on the grill - oops! But we did still enjoy our meal outside, and the nice thing about this pulled … Continue reading Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Homemade Barbecue Sauce
