A few days ago I told you about the Oatmeal Flax Cookie recipe I found on the King Arthur Flour website, and hinted at another great recipe to come. Well, I am so excited to share this one. Many of my other cookie recipes are delicious but hearty and more healthy tasting...the type of cookie … Continue reading Whole Grain Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oatmeal Flax Cookies
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting the store and bakery at King Arthur Flour in Norwich, VT. KAF is the maker of the Organic 100% White Whole Wheat Flour I love using for my pizza dough, hamburger buns, and every day bread. White whole wheat flour is pretty amazing stuff - … Continue reading Oatmeal Flax Cookies
Veggie Bolognese
In my never-ending quest to find ways to eat more vegetables, I was inspired by a recent recipe posted on Weelicious for Veggie Bolognese Sauce. What a great idea, making a chunky tomato sauce which includes multiple vegetables! But rather than follow this recipe, I decided to adapt my recipe for basic Meat Sauce and … Continue reading Veggie Bolognese
Chocolate Muffins
If you've been following my posts about the baby naming we hosted for our little peanut, you'll know I found a new chocolate muffin recipe to try out on my guests. These muffins really could pass for dessert, but I figured for a special event, having some decadent choices to go with all of … Continue reading Chocolate Muffins
Asparagus and Zucchini Ribbon Salad
Last week I told you about the Mini Spinach and Cheddar Frittatas I made for the peanut's naming. In addition to an egg dish, I wanted to include a light and summery salad. I had a hard time thinking of what to do that wouldn't overlap with the veggies already present as a side for … Continue reading Asparagus and Zucchini Ribbon Salad
Mini Spinach and Cheddar Frittatas

I was serving lox (smoked salmon) with the bagels, but for people who may not be a fan, I … Continue reading Mini Spinach and Cheddar Frittatas
Simple Falafel
Falafel is not something I grew up eating, but at some point a few years back, hubby must have decided to order some and I discovered how delicious it is. I have had it a few times since, but it never occurred to me to make it at home. That is, until I signed the … Continue reading Simple Falafel
100% Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns (Bread Machine)
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)
Flourless Chocolate Cake
Passover is often filled with yucky foods made with matzo meal that do a terrible job of imitating real food. I have found that dessert are especially tough, as many people try to modify regular recipes to be kosher for Passover, but the result is never going to be quite the same. My opinion is that … Continue reading Flourless Chocolate Cake
Charoset, kid friendly and nut free!
Those of you who celebrate Passover know that the holiday has its benefits (matzo ball soup!) and drawbacks (how long has this seder been dragging on??). On the plus side for me is definitely charoset - this sweet apple and walnut mixture comes near the end of the seder, and marks the beginning of the … Continue reading Charoset, kid friendly and nut free!
