A dessert-like berry baked oatmeal is perfect for cold winter days. It can be hard to eat healthy food in the winter sometimes. It’s cold outside, and nothing is better when it’s cold than a cheesy casserole or soup. So I often find myself trying to reset my diet around this time of year. Nothing [...]
An eggplant Parmesan sandwich on garlic toasted ciabatta? Yes! When you don’t eat meat, the hardest thing to give up is a good sandwich. To be fair, the vegetarian landscape has dramatically improved, but it’s nice to have options. And crunchy pan-fried eggplant with a quick homemade sauce, melty cheese is definitely an option. With [...]
When you think of a pizza bread recipe, my guess is it’s something along the lines of a French bread pizza. This is not that. At all. This is a loaf of yeast-raised bread with pockets of sharp white cheddar, a spicy pizza seasoning, and crunchy edges that taste like the best part of a [...]
Wild blueberry pancakes are the perfect way to end a weekend. I have a love-hate relationship with blueberries. Like most fruit, buying them at the grocery store is a guessing game. Sometimes they’re good, but often they’re tiny, tasteless balls of nothing. I wanted to make blueberry pancakes that are fluffy, tender, and jam-packed full [...]
Creamy turmeric hot chocolate with a jolt of strong coffee? Sign me up! A while ago, a friend of mine gave me something called MUD/WTR. This is marketed as a coffee substitute and is made of lots of good for you things like turmeric, cacao, and some ground up mushrooms. You mix it with hot [...]
Tiramisu overnight oats are dessert for breakfast. So good. Italian food is not my favorite cuisine. I like it. I’ll eat it for sure. But tiramisu is definitely one of my favorite desserts. There’s something about the creamy, coffee flavor that gets me every time. And you can be sure that if I see it [...]
A roasted vegetable spinach salad is a delicious and healthy way to start the new year! Salads are summer foods in my opinion. Fresh produce is not great in the winter, and when it’s cold, I want something warm and comforting. A cold salad generally doesn’t appeal to me. I say generally because there are [...]
An avocado tuna salad with a twist is a perfect way to start your new year! I recently got some croissants in my Imperfect Foods box (want $80 in free groceries?) and wanted to do something different with them. Besides eating them with my morning coffee. Although that’s really fine with me. Tuna salad seemed [...]
Homemade whole wheat bread is the perfect way to get started to a healthy new year! Making bread is something that can be intimidating. It’s not quite as simple as making muffins or cookies or something where you just mix and bake. There’s a lot of science involved, and sometimes things out of your control [...]
Curried browned butter turns plain old toast into something special. I’m a fan of different types of toast. Avocado toast. Tuna on toast. Even just peanut butter toast makes an appearance on my lunch repertoire some days. Sometimes toast can become more than just toast. In this case, you start with some good hearty bread [...]
Here's all the social media sites people tell me I need to be on. You can (kinda) find me on these. The only one guaranteed to get you a quick response is email, so try that first.
