My husband, bless his heart, loves breakfast. Sadly since green smoothies monopolize most of our mornings (the others involve oatmeal), he hardly gets what he thinks of as a “real” breakfast. Sure there’s plenty of toast too, but the man loves eggs and fried potatoes. He loves sausage and bacon. Every once in awhile I […]
Whole Grain Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pancakes
I’m always surprised at what my kids will and won’t eat. Pumpkin cookies, muffins, cakes, waffles and pancakes are things they can’t get enough of. As the mornings before school become chilly, there’s nothing better to fill up their little bellies than with these Whole Grain Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pancakes. They simply love them. And so […]
Simple Kale Frittata
This week has been a doozy. Nothing simple about it. Just a bunch of complicated things I wish I didn’t have to think about. Do you ever have weeks like that? Suffice it to say, I was in the mood for a simple dinner tonight to help me relax before it all starts up again […]
Baby Chard and Brown Rice Fritters
The weekend if finally here. I’m so ready for it. This week has been non-stop running around, working, and all that other stuff we all have to take care of each week. I put my garden in on Monday. Finally. I bought the seedlings for myself as a Mother’s Day present. I took Monday off […]
Norwegian Hardanger Lefse Recipe for Christmas
Becky and I had such a great time making Scandinavian recipes last month we decided to do it again! Be sure to check out her recipe for Swedish Pickled Cucumbers. Norway holds a special place in my heart. Being able to visit the land of my great-grandparents eight years ago is truly an experience I […]
Recipe For Garden Vegetable Breakfast Hash
I picked up my CSA share from La Nay Ferme on Thursday and it was huge. We have some veggies from our garden and our neighbor’s garden, and now all of the CSA goodies. I’m in heaven. It’s so much easier to eat healthy when you are stocked up with fruits and veggies. With the […]
Buckwheat-Amaranth Porridge with Strawberries and Coconut
My little strawberry patch is bringing forth tiny, juicy little berries once again. I’ve been juicing so much for breakfast, that I’ve almost forgotten what a warm, comforting porridge can do for me–fill my belly and bring a smile to my face. I haven’t splurged on gluten-free oats yet. I’ve been using up my stores […]
Eat Vegan On $4 a Day: Millet Crunch
A few months ago I received Eat Vegan On $4 A Day by Ellen Jaffe Jones to review. I was excited to read it because I have been trying to get back to better eating habits and we are on an incredibly tight budget. Win-win. I opened the package right away and thumbed through it. […]
Hawaiian Breakfast.
While we were in Hawaii, I made our version of a Hawaiian Breakfast, or I should say that I made Aunt Robin’s version of a HB. Ever since we first ate this meal at her house years ago, my husband has been smitten with the artery-clogging, cloying breakfast. What’s on the plate? Spam marinated in […]
Quinoa For Breakfast.
Quinoa, how I love thee. One night when I was perusing and feverishly printing off recipes to try from 101 Cookbooks, I saw Heidi’s recipe for Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa. Quinoa for breakfast? Interesting…I thought to myself. I tried it the next morning and was completely converted. But then I eat quinoa almost every day anyway. […]
