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 →

The Pizza Story (2) – Ingredients

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 →
