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
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
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
Carrot Zucchini Muffins
Well, I'm sad to report that my recent Whole Wheat Zucchini Muffins, which I said may be perfect, are not - while I still stand by the deliciousness and healthfulness claims, they have the fatal flaw of being completely rejected by the munchkin. And while hubby thought it was good news that there would be … Continue reading Carrot Zucchini Muffins
Whole Wheat Zucchini Muffins
I have very stringent criteria when it comes to muffin recipes - because I like to always have muffins on hand in my freezer as a wholesome snack for my whole family, I'll generally only make ones that are actually healthy. So when I'm looking at recipes, I look for whole grains (no refined flour if … Continue reading Whole Wheat Zucchini Muffins
Banana Wheat Germ Muffins Revisited
Back in December, I made Banana Wheat Germ Muffins from Weelicious. The were delicious, but my only complaint was that they didn't contain 100% whole grains - there was a cup of all purpose flour along with the cup of wheat germ. Wheat germ is packed with nutrients, so the recipe probably works out to … Continue reading Banana Wheat Germ Muffins Revisited
Oatmeal Bars
Hi everyone, I'm back! Sorry for the hiatus; attempting to sell my apartment and a week long vacation have kept me very busy the last two weeks, but I'm finally back in the kitchen and excited to share what I've been up to 🙂 As you probably can guess, I am always on the lookout … Continue reading Oatmeal Bars
Whole Wheat Apple Muffins
Mmmm...that's all I have to say after tasting these muffins right out of the oven. They are so yummy, I can't wait to serve them to company tomorrow! But before I tell you more about the muffins, I really want to thank all of you who are out there reading my ramblings and letting me … Continue reading Whole Wheat Apple Muffins
