I love to entertain, but at some point I got into a rut where every time I had people over and needed snacks and/or appetizers, hummus with veggies and pita chips from a bag appeared on the table. Yummy, but boring. So a couple of years ago when I volunteered to bring munchies to a … Continue reading Edamame Hummus and Spiced Pita Chips

Coconut Muffins
This weekend, hubby's sister and her husband are coming to NYC for an anniversary weekend getaway. They'll be staying with us Friday night, and then moving to a hotel for the next 2 nights (not sure why they don't consider staying on a hard pull-out couch in a room with no door and getting woken … Continue reading Coconut Muffins
Chicken Teriyaki
In the past, one of my favorite cooking shortcuts was to pour a store-bought marinade over some meat and cook it up. These marinades were always super-tasty and easy to have on hand, turning some chicken breasts from the freezer into an easy weeknight meal. Unfortunately, the more I become obsessed with reading ingredient lists, the … Continue reading Chicken Teriyaki
Wholesome Monster Cookies
In the last few months I have become obsessed with finding healthy muffin recipes so that I can always have wholesome snacks around. But muffins can't be the only kind of wholesome snack, right? On my lookout for other ideas, and I came across this recipe for "Super-Charge Me! Cookies" on a vegan blog. I am by … Continue reading Wholesome Monster Cookies

These barely count as recipes since I have no idea what the measurements are, but here's what I do in case you're in need of some inspiration! I love this … Continue reading Roasted Asparagus and Smashed Potatoes

First up is meat loaf, which … Continue reading Meat Loaf
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes
A few months back, I posted a recipe for Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes that are absolutely delicious - light, fluffy, and sweet. The only problem is that they achieve this by including half all-purpose flour along with the whole wheat. I tried remedying this by using all whole wheat pastry flour in the same recipe, … Continue reading Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes
Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal Cookies
If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know about my quest for the perfect oatmeal cookie (see here and here if you're just catching up!). Well, a couple of months ago I discovered Sweet + Natural, a great blog for desserts made with wholesome ingredients. I've already had great success with Carrot … Continue reading Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal Cookies
Blueberry Bran Muffins
Way back in December, I told you about a yummy Bran Muffin recipe I found. And while these were really tasty, they were a wee bit on the heavy side. Ok, so they were a lot heavy. I think the combination of bran and stone ground wheat flour made them really dense, so ever since … Continue reading Blueberry Bran Muffins
Kale Chips
Last summer, we joined a CSA (community supported agriculture), which meant that we became shareholders in a local farm and received a selection of fruit and vegetables weekly from May through November. I loved having fresh organic produce, and was especially happy to be forced into finding uses for items I may have never purchased on … Continue reading Kale Chips
