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

Broccoli Mac & Cheese
Mac & cheese is one of those foods that generally comes to mind when we think of unhealthy comfort foods. But does it really have to be unhealthy? The basic ingredients are actually pretty wholesome - pasta, cheese, and milk are good for you in moderation. So my goal is to find a great mac … Continue reading Broccoli Mac & Cheese
Zucchini Patties
In my ongoing quest to find creative ways to make veggies more interesting to the munchkin, I came across a post on Itty Bitty Bistro for Zucchini Nuggets. They sounded very similar to the Cheddar-Broccoli Sticks that were a huge hit, so I thought I'd give them a try. The biggest difference is that they … Continue reading Zucchini Patties
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
Spanakopita
As a little background, I started this blog as a kind of personal food diary. I've found that being a mom has made me completely incapable of staying organized or remembering much of anything without detailed documentation, which meant that keeping track of recipes was becoming a huge challenge. So one day I decided that … Continue reading Spanakopita
Red Wine Barley Risotto
Recently, my friend Kristin at Brooklyn Forager blogged about her Red Wine Risotto recipe, and it sounded so good it immediately went on my "to make soon" list. When I finally had a chance to make it, I was torn - it sounded perfect as is, but, if you recall, the last time I blogged … Continue reading Red Wine Barley Risotto
Turkey Meatloaf Mini-Bites Revisited
After a week of feeding the munchkin french toast and scrambled eggs for dinner, I decided it's time to restock my freezer with some quick, go-to meals. I've also been trying to figure out what to make with the ground turkey in the freezer and realized that my Turkey Meatloaf Mini-Bites would be perfect! The only problem … Continue reading Turkey Meatloaf Mini-Bites Revisited
Chicken Piccata with Pasta and Arugula Salad
When I was trying to decide what to call this blog, the first thing that came to my mind was "The Lazy Chef." This is because I am constantly looking for short cuts, taking the most simple recipes and making them even simpler. Sometime I find easier ways of doing things that don't compromise the … Continue reading Chicken Piccata with Pasta and Arugula Salad
Spinach Ricotta Dumplings
One of the earliest recipes I found on Weelicious was for "Spinach Gnocch-wee", which, aside from having such a cute name, looked irresistably adorable in the picture. I read the recipe and filed it away until my recent effort to compile links to all of the recipes I want to try, when I came across … Continue reading Spinach Ricotta Dumplings
Lentil Salad with Grapes
A few weeks ago I made Avocado Lentil Salad, and promised another favorite Lentil Salad recipe. Well, I finally had a chance to make it last night! This recipe is adapted from Giada De Laurentiis on the Food Network and is delicious. The two recipes are very similar - both have grape tomatoes, pistachios, and … Continue reading Lentil Salad with Grapes
