A few weeks ago I ended up with some free time with the munchkin while the peanut was napping. My freezer stock on muffins was getting low and we were having company that weekend, so I thought a baking project might be fun. When I asked her what kind of muffins we should make, she … Continue reading Pumpkin Muffins

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

Mini Spinach and Cheddar Frittatas
As I mentioned in my post about the naming ceremony we recently hosted for the peanut, I decided to plan a menu that mixed traditional bagels with some homemade sides that helped round out the meal.

Baby Naming for the Peanut
Last weekend, we hosted a naming ceremony for our little peanut at our home. Traditionally, Jewish events like this require a spread of bagels, cream cheese, lox, tuna, and various other cheese, fish, and veggie sides for the bagels. Sometimes there are also knishes, or noodle kugel, but the basics are the same and catered from … Continue reading Baby Naming for the Peanut
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)
