The Great Veggie Experiment – Swiss Chard!

One of my goals this month was to try 2 new veggies.  Well, the month has been getting on and I needed to get to it!  I was at the farmer’s market on Saturday and  saw all these pretty fresh greens.

I know I am in the great internet minority, but kale does not [...]

Soggy Bagel Day and Cheesy Chickpeas

Never, ever trust weather.com.  They lie!  The forecast was for upper 50s and cloudy this morning with 0% chance of rain.  So, that meant biking for breakfast!  There was maybe a touch of mist while riding there, but the temps felt pretty good at 58.  We arrived to our destination and it started to rain [...]

Lemon Poppyseed Protein Cake

John made a recipe that he tweaked from Ask Georgie for Lemon Poppyseed Protein Bars.  I called them cake because his version came out more like this.

We had this for breakfast a month or so ago.  You could also have it for dessert!

The original recipe is here, and this is what John did. [...]

Sourdough English Muffins

I was a little nervous about trying to make english muffins, and I really don’t know why because they weren’t that hard!  I did want to use my sourdough starter, though.

You can use this recipe with yeast if you don’t have/want to use sourdough starter.  The technique is the same once the dough [...]

Recipe: Flourless chocolate chip cookies

I found this recipe on Pinterest when I first started pinning and it didn’t take long for me to make them.  The original recipe is from Recipe Girl and I edited a bit for our smaller household.

 Easy enough and the ingredients were already in the house!  Double score.

Ingredients:

Note – I like to go [...]

Recipe: Banana Flaxjacks!

So, you all know how I love my 1-minute muffin and all it’s permutations, right?

Well, I got thinking about using a banana it to make more of a pancake batter and a little on the sweet side.  The result?

Grain free and gluten free.  Now there are a couple tricks with this recipe, [...]

Meatless Monday – “Meatless” Balls

I don’t normally follow Meatless Monday on purpose, but sometimes it happens that I do all vegetarian meals.  We were out yesterday for breakfast and there was Rachael Ray’s magazine there, so I was reading that. I have never read her magazine before and there sure are a lot of recipes in it! LOL.  Anyway, [...]

Lifting and Lemon Curd

Off to the gym this morning! It was surprisingly warm in the 40s. We have had warm weather the last few days, but some snow is soon to come.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you all so much for you kind words on my article blurb!  It was fun.  I actually liked that much better than the Shape Magazine article.

Anyhoo, we had some nice snow last night….not….

Heavy, heavy wet stuff, too.  At least the roads weren’t bad, but it kept us from Bagel Wednesday for [...]

Pumpkin Pie Bars – grain free!

How about a Monday recipe post for a change?  Seeing as you all don’t want to see me on a weekday without the espresso machine… One is on the way, though.

And….. my magazine article came out and I have not gotten a copy yet, so I will talk about that on Tuesday!!  Eeeee – [...]
