Let’s say this together…I love fall & winter food. This oatmeal is the quintessential cold weather breakfast. Make up a big batch of this and you will never need to grab one of those overly sweetened little packets of instant oats again. Besides if you are like me then you want to taste all of [...]

Two things you need to know before I talk about Blueberry Lemon Muffins. I have never had anything other than coffee at Panera Bread. I am part of a Gluten Free Panera Dream Day food blogger event. So I guess you could say, if they started baking up healthy muffins like these you might find [...]

Mango Muffins – Gluten Free

Mango is a sweet and tangy fruit that we love to eat on it’s own, in baked goodies and sweet-savory sauces. This tender, moist muffin I came up with is decadent, satisfying and fueled with high-energy ingredients. I finally got my hands on a jumbo five pound bag of blanched almond flour, a gluten free ingredient [...]

Today I am gonna share with you the simplest recipe ever….a precursor to my larger post tomorrow. I figured a good homemade mayonnaise  is worthy of it’s own recipe page. This spread will be great for summer entertaining, egg salad, pasta salad, BLT’s, juicy burgers, sandwiches and anywhere else you might like a dab of [...]

On the heels of all kinds of vegan goodies now I am bringing back eggs, cheese and bacon. All together in one happy frittata. The apples add a little sweet with the savory. A winning combo. With school ending soon and the weather heating up we want lots of protein to burn. Nothing like a [...]

What do you get when you take sweet apples, crunchy walnuts and tangy, creamy cheddar cheese? Over here we call this Apple Pie Grilled Cheese. This sweet-savory sandwich is a healthy nod to honor National Grilled Cheese Month. I am grateful that Kerrygold sent me a timely package of fine cheese and butter to explore. It [...]

The ultimate pairing for me is a sweet little cake with a steamy Caffe Americano. The definition for coffee cake is simply a cake to enjoy with coffee. It usually has a crumble topping, in this case that is chopped peanuts. Around here coffee cake, snack cake and breakfast cake are used interchangeably. This is great [...]

Naming a recipe can be challenging. In a few words we describe flavors that should project all kinds of emotions and mouth watering experiences. This cake started at “Triple Blueberry Cake” (but there was more than 3 inclusions of the fruit), to Blueberry Extreme Cake (but that was a bit like a pro wrestling event) [...]

Bacon, spaghetti squash and gruyére cheese. Need I say more? Not a fan of squash? I will change that for you with this recipe. Sure you can use your favorite pasta, but then it just wouldn’t be the same. Spaghetti squash is a silly, stringy thing and oh so good when covered in cheese and [...]
