Last week I made a whole 5 gallon bucket’s worth of delicious, crunchy, natural granola because there’s an upcoming fall festival and I’ll be selling this to the public. Fun! But I’m absolutely going to make this much again for myself, vacuum seal it, and store it. Why Make It Yourself? Granola is actually a [...]
I hope that when I’m a mom, I can 1) get my kids excited about weird food and 2) sneak healthy ingredients into comfortable dishes. I’ll probably break them in early with green eggs and bacon (or ham). I absolutely love keeping baby spinach around because when used fresh, there is not much flavor to [...]
Whenever I had tummy issues as a kid, there was a natural progression of food. In the worst of it, I’d be lucky to get down saltines and water, but as soon as I started to turn the page and feel better, it was time for rice. Sometimes it was just rice and butter, but [...]
Here’s a crazy good appetizer or snack for your next Spring party! I bought like 1,000 rice wrappers for about 86 cents and I’m trying to find ways to use them. They’re actually really nice because they’re not too heavy like tortillas and you can (as I found out) use them for sweet food inside [...]
After dreaming I was an assisting surgical nurse for Jack Shephard from Lost last night, my first thought when I woke up this morning was, “I want some pancakes.” (Welcome to my world.) While searching for recipes, I came across flaxseed pancake recipes. I remembered my Slovak friend had given me a bag of unidentified seeds [...]
The other day I received a free bag of walnuts and almonds, so naturally, I thought of apple crisp! But baking an apple crisp/crumble that’s healthy too can be a bit challenging because we all know that the more butter and brown sugar you put in it, the more “oooo’s and aaaah’s” you get from [...]
Would I be correct in assuming that most of us don’t have the time first thing in the morning to make ourselves a huge breakfast? When I work full time, I barely have enough time to brush my teeth in the morning, let alone make breakfast. Last month I wrote about eating fruit for breakfast, which [...]
Ever paid $7 for a mango lassi? I have. In fact, I think I ended up paying a whole lot more but I’m not willing to admit it publicly. I’m not sure about the differences in ingredients in what I’ve bought from a restaurant and what I’ve made at home, but I can tell you [...]
Spinach. Yeah, that’s right, spinach! Do you KNOW how good spinach is for you? Prepare yourself. It has: Dietary Fiber, Protein, Vitamins- C, A, K, E, (Hey, that spells cake! Mmm…) Thiamin, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Manganese. I highly recommend always keeping a bag of spinach or baby [...]
So if you’ve been around for the last decade or two, you’ve probably heard the theory that fruit equals sugar, sugar equals fat, so don’t eat fruit. Well, I’m not going to give you scientific evidence of why that’s false…I’ll leave that up to Google if you don’t believe me. A whole lot of people [...]
