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
If you are just joining this story, check out this page for a little background 🙂 The first step in my pizza dough adventure was to find a recipe. I wanted my crust to be 100% whole wheat, which is apparently a tall order. Almost every whole wheat recipe I found had a combination of whole … Continue reading The Pizza Story (2) – Ingredients
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes
A few months back, I posted a recipe for Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes that are absolutely delicious - light, fluffy, and sweet. The only problem is that they achieve this by including half all-purpose flour along with the whole wheat. I tried remedying this by using all whole wheat pastry flour in the same recipe, … Continue reading Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes

I've already had great success with Carrot … Continue reading Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal Cookies
Blueberry Bran Muffins

I think the combination of bran and stone ground wheat flour made them really dense, so ever since … Continue reading Blueberry Bran Muffins
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
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
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
