cookies for breakfast!

On February 17, 2012 By

Blog reader Sher recently mes­saged me with a bak­ing chal­lenge of sorts. She was look­ing for a healthy, hearty break­fast cookie that she could feel good about giv­ing her kids, but that they would actu­ally, you know, eat.

Chal­lenge accepted, my friend. This was espe­cially timely because I’ve been in a bit of a […]

savoring the muffin (top)

On February 3, 2012 By

My muf­fin top is all that,
Whole grain, low-fat
You know you want a piece of that,
But I just want to dance

Ah, 30 Rock. You win some and you lose some, but dammit when you win, you win big. (Although my all-time favorite is Were­wolf Bar Mitz­vah.)

One of […]

fail + win = neutral?

Here I am, hid­ing my shame behind a cute cat picture.

What shame you ask? Well, remem­ber my New Year’s cleanse. Yeah… well… it didn’t go over so well.

The best laid plans, I tell you.

BUT! There is good news. I’m keep­ing the details under wraps for awhile longer, but I am cur­rently work­ing on my […]

vegan baking class!

The peo­ple in my life know my extreme weak­ness for Nordic Ware. Not only are they the cre­ators of the pan which yields my biggest cake weak­ness (the Bundt cake), they make many beau­ti­ful prod­ucts that make my flour-dusted knees weak, plus they are Amer­i­can made– Twin Cities made, in fact.

date-licious

On January 6, 2012 By

So this is a quick Treat of the Week that I feel is a cheat because:

1.) It’s not actu­ally my recipe
2.) It’s not so much a recipe as it is food assembly

Alas, it’s in align­ment with my cleanse. Oh yes, and it’s delicious.

I used this recipe, but […]

welcome 2012!

On January 2, 2012 By

Well, I’m usu­ally not one for New Year’s res­o­lu­tions (although, the inter­webs might say oth­er­wise). How­ever, this year, when my future sister-in-law (F-SIL®*) sug­gested this cleanse, I eagerly signed on. Our motto for the year: work hard, eat clean and talk dirty!

When’s the last time I’ve posted a real food recipe? Hmm… […]

luck of the black-eyed peas

On December 30, 2011 By

Every year I promise myself that I am going to make some amaz­ing culi­nary feat of deli­cious­ness involv­ing black-eyed peas to blog about for New Year’s Day.

And I don’t.

So, instead I’m going to repost two tasty recipes that are not only deli­cious and healthy, but will also help revive your liver after your […]

merry happy holidays!

A day late in announc­ing the win­ner– I was too wrapped up in family fun!

The win­ner of the Fabric-by-Fabric book is: Sharon! Con­grat­u­la­tions! Be sure to check it out at your local book or sewing store. It’s an excel­lent book and I’m sure after the busy-ness of the hol­i­day you are deserv­ing of a present […]
