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 →

Quinoa Muffins

Yes, another muffin recipe. I fully admit that I have a crazy obsession with muffins, but I just love that it is so easy to make a snack suitable for kids and grown-ups with wholesome ingredients that keeps beautifully in the freezer. Really, what could be better? I've been wanting to try these for a … Continue reading Quinoa Muffins →

Oatmeal Muffins

Oats are a food I am always trying to get more of into my diet. I tried having oatmeal for breakfast every day, but I can't quite get into it - every once in a while I like it, but I always get sucked back in by my GoLean Crunch addiction! Oatmeal cookies are great, but … Continue reading Oatmeal Muffins →

Healthier Oatmeal Cookies

I have been trying to get away from dessert recipes...really, I have! But the little peanut in my belly seems to have quite the sweet tooth, and I have been wanting dessert all of the time lately. In an effort to get my sweet fix from something moderately healthy, I decided to try out a … Continue reading Healthier Oatmeal Cookies →

Candied Walnuts

---This post is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- When planning my menu, I looked at many ideas for appetizer soups involving pumpkin or other winter squash, but when I looked at all of the other dishes I had planned, they just seemed like too much food. Plus, carrying bowls of hot soup around a … Continue reading Candied Walnuts →

Cornbread (Muffins)

---This post is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- I've already told you about the Classic Lasagna I made to serve upon arrival for our Thanksgiving weekend guests, but I thought one more home-cooked meal (in addition to the big Thanksgiving feast!) was warranted that weekend. Lunch the day after our big meal seemed like … Continue reading Cornbread (Muffins) →

Spinach Leek Dip

Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited to my parents' and bother's houses for Rosh Hashanah, which meant I got two great holiday meals that I didn't have to host! Of course, my mom and sister-in-law each asked for a different contribution. For night one I made chocolate cheesecake which came out delicious, but … Continue reading Spinach Leek Dip →

Carrot Coconut Muffins

But I promise, these muffins keeps getting healthier AND better, so even if you're sick of hearing about them, I want to remember what I … Continue reading Carrot Coconut Muffins →

Coconut Muffins – Update

Hi everyone! A couple of weeks ago I told you about the Coconut Muffin recipe I found on Sweet + Natural. Well, I'm happy to report that they have become one of the munchkin's favorites, and mine, too! I really want to make them part of my regular rotation, but was still a little concerned because … Continue reading Coconut Muffins – Update →

Edamame Hummus and Spiced Pita Chips

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 →
