Is it just me or have you noticed that it’s a fad to eat “gluten-free?” It’s becoming so popular that it’s even marketed as healthy. (As if eating fruits and vegetables and whole grains and lean meats isn’t healthy?) I believe that this popularity has unfortunately caused the price of gluten-free products to soar. Poor […]
Great as a grab and go breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a healthy dessert! I will warn you though: they’re super addicting! Like it? Share it!
Whether you celebrated with a significant other, a best friend, or your family, I hope that everyone had a lovely Valentines Day! Cobalt and I didn’t do anything special this year like we have the past two years while we were dating and engaged (respectively). We really prefer not to brave the crowds when we don’t […]
This week was mine and Cobalt’s turn to make dessert for our church’s Bible study group. Rather low on “dessert ingredients” (such as sugar, butter, etc.) and eager to make a healthier option anyway, I began searching the cabinets and refrigerator/freezer for ideas. That’s when I came up with mini pies. I found graham crackers, frozen […]
I love smoothies because they’re super easy to make! Step 1: Place foods in the blender. . . Step 2: Put the top on. . . Step 3: Press “pulse” a few times and then press a “blend” button (they all ultimately do the same thing) Below I’ve listed a few common ingredients used for […]
Around Christmas, Kathy Patalsky posted a recipe for Pumpkin Cranberry Loaf on her blog. Having leftover pumpkin from a recipe, I endeavored to give hers a try.

I don’t know about you, but fall happens to be my favorite season. The smells, sights, tastes, sounds and weather are so full of surprises and so much different from summer’s! I love drinking hot tea, hot chocolate or chai tea lattes on a brisk morning; sledding on colorful, crunchy leaves; feeling the cold air […]
Heehee, here’s that recipe for the “interesting brownies” I was talking about on my facebook page. – – – – – I’ve been craving brownies for a while…. Rich, FUDGY, chocolate-y brownies. But alas! I don’t have any cocoa powder or chocolate chips – an obvious necessity for anything chocolate! When I began looking for […]
Cherry pie is my husband’s absolute favorite. But when I was making it for this birthday last week, I realized I only had ONE can of cherry pie filling. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any time or money to buy another can…so what was I to do? Ah! Use what was in my fridge! One orange, […]
