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

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
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
Vegetable Barley Risotto
Do you remember my Vegetable Risotto recipe? The one that I told you was delicious and healthy, with the exception that white rice has limited nutritional value? And then I said that I was going to make it with barley instead? Well, as you've probably figured out by now, I did it! I finally got … Continue reading Vegetable Barley Risotto
Banana Pumpkin Oat Muffins
Back in December, I told you about the Pumpkin Bran Muffins that I made for the day after Thanksgiving: I liked the texture, but wasn't happy with the flavor, presumably because I didn't put in the full amounts of spices. Well, I'm sad to report that after trying them a second time and sticking to the … Continue reading Banana Pumpkin Oat Muffins
Double Broccoli Quinoa
In the world of grains, quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a winner. It is easy to cook (similar to rice but faster), has the nutritional benefits of being a whole grain, and is even a complete protein (most grains are missing a couple of the essential amino acids, which means that while they are good protein … Continue reading Double Broccoli Quinoa
Mac & Cheese (with Squash!)
It should be clear by now that Kraft Mac & Cheese, as yummy as it might be, is not something I'd consider cooking for my family (sodium tripoly-phosphate? yellow 5 AND 6?). I have made the Annie's Organic Whole Wheat Shells & White Cheddar, and while I feel ok about the ingredient list, it just … Continue reading Mac & Cheese (with Squash!)
Carrot Cupcakes with Yogurt Glaze
Today we had plans to go visit some friends who just bought a beautiful house out in the 'burbs, and I volunteered to bring dessert. Obviously I decided this was the perfect opportunity to try baking something new, and I immediately started scouring some classic sources - Smitten Kitchen (this recipe in particular) and my … Continue reading Carrot Cupcakes with Yogurt Glaze
Spinach Walnut Pesto
As I've already told you, we are big fans of pasta in our house. And while it doesn't take much to make it exciting in my view (straight from the fridge with nothing on it is just fine!), I do like to vary the ways I eat it. So far I've shared with you my … Continue reading Spinach Walnut Pesto
