Considering that today is officially the first day of summer (though we’ve been suffering through 100 degree summer temps for weeks), it seems fitting to share my new favorite frozen drink recipe. I tried this banana almond smoothie recipe for the first time yesterday and awoke this morning with a vicious craving for another. Packed [...]
Lately, I’ve been falling in love with Indian flavors—ginger especially, and curry, which both go so nicely with my long-time favorites, garlic and cayenne pepper. When I found this recipe for spicy baked chickpeas and serendipitously had all the ingredients in my pantry, I had to try it. I love the texture of baked chickpeas—crunchy [...]
I have been hunting for the perfect whole wheat banana bread recipe lately. The first was too sweet to stick with me from breakfast to lunch; the second was dry and lacking in flavor. This banana bread recipe is just right: 100% whole wheat, naturally sweetened with honey, with a light, decadent crumb. Plus it [...]
This week has been my first week working from home, so I have been trying to adjust to a new routine. Funemployment brought out my lazy, indulgent side; whipping myself back into shape has proven a painful process. I’ll share a glimpse of working from home soon, and discuss my frustrations with modern life in [...]
Cue the trumpets! I am pleased to present (doot dee doot) breakfast quinoa! I came across Joy’s recipe for breakfast quinoa this week in perfect timing. Quinoa for breakfast sounded satisfying and delicious, and I happened to have all the ingredients on hand: mango, milk, apple sauce, almonds and coconut. The next morning, I woke [...]

Do you remember eating no-bake cookies as a kid? I sure do. My brothers and I routinely begged my mother to let us make cookies. She usually indulged us by agreeing to make no-bake cookies. No chocolate chip cookies or sugar cookies—just no-bake cookies. She was busy raising three kids and running her own business, [...]
This morning, I crawled out of my warm bed and peeked out the window to discover a blanket of white snow covering the cold ground. Rather than play outside, I chose to stay inside and bake macaroons. I’d been craving them since I saw Sprouted Kitchen’s recipe for chocolate-dipped macaroons. Growing up, I remember eating [...]
Frittatas: I love them. But before I read Stonesoup’s guide to the perfect frittata, I was too intimidated to try making my own. I thought I’d have to start cooking the eggs on the stove, try to flip the eggs without making a mess, move it all to the oven, and so forth. Jules discovered [...]
