A version of this article originally appeared on Beauty News NYC, where I was also interviewed last year to talk about my blog and feeding kids. Check it out! For many people summer means a welcome hiatus from packing kids’ lunch boxes. But now that school is back in session, have no fear - back … Continue reading The Perfectly Packed Lunch
Brownies – without the eggs!
I have been very fortunate in that so far, neither of my girls have any food allergies (nor do hubby or I!). My young niece, on the other hand, has not been so lucky, and cannot eat nuts or eggs. Because she is often placed in the unfair position of not being able to share … Continue reading Brownies – without the eggs!
Zucchini Fritters
As a follow up to my previous Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread recipe, I wanted to share with you my other favorite use for extra zucchini - fritters! I just tried this recipe for the first time last month, and I think I've made 4 batches since then. This one is great if you have TONS … Continue reading Zucchini Fritters
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread/Muffins (Whole Wheat)
People like to talk about seasonal food, but with modern transportation and grocery stores, it's sometimes easy to forget that most of us do not live in an area where a wide variety of produce grows year-round. And yet even though you can pretty much always get things like lettuce, carrots, bananas, and apples, in … Continue reading Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread/Muffins (Whole Wheat)
Real Food on the Road
This week, since we are in the middle of our 4 week break between camp and school, hubby decided to take some long overdue vacation time to do some fun trips with the girls. Given that they are only 3.5 and 1.5 and are not particularly flexible about sleeping away from home, we planned carefully … Continue reading Real Food on the Road
Shhh…it’s a secret…
Can you keep a secret? I have a confession to make... I don't like farmer's markets. There, I said it. Oh, you couldn't hear me? Ok, this is a little hard to admit, but I'll try again... I don't like farmer's markets 😦 Heresy, I know...I care a lot about real food and the environment, … Continue reading Shhh…it’s a secret…
100% Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns AGAIN! (Bread Machine)
Hi everyone! Just wanted to quickly share a recipe I've made several times this summer. I know I already have a 100% Whole Wheat Hamburger Bun recipe on the site, but that recipe has a few ingredients that are a little more processed than I prefer (e.g., dried milk, potato flour, vital wheat gluten) and … Continue reading 100% Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns AGAIN!

Granola
If you're going to make yogurt at home, doesn't it follow that you need to make granola to go with it? Well, maybe not, but there are a lot of good reasons to make your own granola. You come out way ahead cost wise, but in my opinion the most important one is that you … Continue reading Granola
Homemade Yogurt
One of the most common foods I see parents feed to babies and young children is yogurt. And while I agree that the probiotics and other nutrients are great for little ones, I am a bit confused by the popularity of sugar and additive filled varieties specifically marketed to kids. Have you ever looked at … Continue reading Homemade Yogurt
Reflections…
Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of recipes lately! I have a lot to share, but given the hiatus I thought it might be a good opportunity to take a step back and reflect on this blog - where it began and where I think it will be going. For those of you who may … Continue reading Reflections…
