Have you looked at the ingredient lists on hamburger buns inthe grocery store lately? Even "wheat" buns are not entirely whole grain and include things like calcium proprionate and monocalcium phosphate - anyone have any idea what these are? The options at stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are a little better, but finding … Continue reading 100% Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns (Bread Machine)

Basic 100% Whole Wheat Bread (Bread Machine)
As I talked about in great detail in my post about why I love my bread machine, over the last few months I have learned that it is entirely possible to feed my family homemade bread without tons of effort - all I needed was a little help from a cumbersome but very useful appliance! … Continue reading Basic 100% Whole Wheat Bread (Bread Machine)
Baked Ziti
I have exciting news - my little munchkin, who for months and months has rejected anything with tomato sauce, has finally started warming up! This has changed my life, as she will now eat pizza with us, and also opens up more options in terms of pasta dishes I can make since I don't necessarily … Continue reading Baked Ziti
Meat Sauce
As I've mentioned many times, we are a family of pasta eaters. More often than not, we end up making some whole wheat pasta mixed with frozen veggies, tomato sauce from a jar, and maybe broiled chicken breasts when I remember to take some out of the freezer. But when I have a little more … Continue reading Meat Sauce

Butternut Squash Soup
A few years ago, I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time for a very small group - just my parents, hubby's parents, and the 2 of us. At the time I was in a small apartment and just starting to practice my cooking skills, which led to a menu including an overcooked turkey breast, stuffing … Continue reading Butternut Squash Soup

---This meal is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- Hubby's family had a long trip to our house for Canadian Thanksgiving - about 8-10 hours. So before I could worry about the Thanksgiving feast itself, I wanted to have a nice meal for them when they arrived. I decided that I needed something that could … Continue reading Classic Lasagna
Simplest Mac & Cheese
I know, I've already posted two mac & cheese recipes on this site, but I'm still on a quest for the perfect healthy recipe. The Mac & Cheese (with Squash!) is yummy, and I love the Broccoli Mac & Cheese, but I have to admit pre-cooking pasta and making a cheese sauce is a bit … Continue reading Simplest Mac & Cheese
Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders
Since we started introducing solid foods to the munchkin about a year ago, she has pretty much been a vegetarian. She was quick to like fruits, grains, dairy, and even eggs, but somehow none of the ways I prepared meat seemed to work for her. Until I found this recipe for Chicken Teriyaki, which she … Continue reading Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders
