Gingerbread Toast
I haven’t gotten into gingerbread until recently. I don’t know why, but the flavors didn’t resonate with me…I think I wasn’t a big fan of molasses, but recently my cousin gave me a molasses cookie and I loved it! I bought some almond butter when I was in California recently at a local Trader Joe’s. … Continue reading
Sweet Corn Muffins, but not with Avocado Icing!
Last week, my sister-in-law said to me, “Have you ever thought of avocado icing with cornbread-type muffins?” I have thought of it, once, and remember Alton Brown once making the frosting before. His icing looked a little runny and I thought we could toughen it up with some Neufchatel cream cheese. And cornbread muffins – … Continue reading
Pumpkin Bread with Almonds
I’m in a pumpkin mood today! It must be that fall is here but it’s still hot as heck here in Texas. I came across a recipe for Pumpkin-Cranberry Muffins from Cooking Light and totally changed it to fit what I had. I also cut the sugar too, and the result was a moist, light … Continue reading
Lactose-free Pecan & Coconut Pancakes
This post is part of Foodbuzz’s November Healthbuzz series focusing on lactose-free cooking. Here’s a recipe that’s great for someone eating lactose-free: pecan and coconut pancakes! Instead of buttermilk or cow’s milk, I used the lactose-free milk I had left in my fridge, combined with a coconut-milk based yogurt that was vanilla-flavored. Tasting the yogurt … Continue reading
Baked Cake Doughnuts
Last week, I walked out of one of my favorite cookware stores with a brand-new find – a doughnut pan! I have always wanted to try baking doughnuts (less fat than regular fried doughnuts) so this was ideal to make perfectly round cake doughnuts. I’ll probably be testing a few more recipes in the near … Continue reading
Blueberry Orange Smoothie
I LOVE smoothies! And lately, I’ve been making one daily, using the fresh summer fruits I’ve been getting at the market, and just adding a few other ingredients to make it a fun snack or breakfast. I don’t really measure out the ingredients because I just add a little as I go, adjusting after I … Continue reading
Perfectly Poached Eggs
Eggs are probably the most versatile ingredient around. They’re a complete protein source and can act as a stand-alone meal, whether for a quick breakfast, or a lazy dinner. During busy workdays, I can still feel good about my food choices by whipping up an easy egg omelet with vegetables and brown rice on the … Continue reading
Pumpkin-Walnut Muffins
Happy Halloween everyone! I heart pumpkin season. You’ve got pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin custard…sorry, now I’m sounding like Bubba in Forrest Gump, rambling on about shrimp. Anyways, you get the idea. This recipe is something I whipped up on the fly, a dump-and-stir sort of method that works pretty well, … Continue reading
Whole-Wheat Cinnamon Rolls with Sandy Nut Topping
Hello, cinnamon roll! There really is nothing like the smell of cinnamon anything in the oven, but cinnamon rolls – oh my! That combination of yeasty dough and sweet cinnamon permeates throughout the whole house, and all you’ll want to do is brew a pot of coffee, turn off the TV, curl up on the … Continue reading
Nutty Coconut and Cherry Granola
I usually don’t sleep in on the weekends. I think my brain is hard-wired to wake up around 6:30 or 7 in the morning, regardless of whether it’s a workday or playday. Good thing too – I usually get lots of things done in the early part of the day (like pulling weeds from my … Continue reading
