I received a request for some low carb/low sugar recipes. Although this bread has fruit in it, it's pretty versatile and you can make it lower carb if you so choose. You could swap out the fruit for more nuts; add lower carb fruits; skip the honey all together; you can even skip the butter and add in water instead - although I'm not sure why you would ever want to do that. Start out with … [Read more...]
Neverending Bran Muffins
The other day my friend was reminiscing about a bran muffin my mom used to make when we were little. It was the kind that was "never ending". I still remember it in a gallon rubbermaid pitcher in the back of the refrigerator. I texted my mom and she thought it was in a cookbook that I had. So I went to my shelf full of books and found the bright blue spiral bound First Baptist Church cookbook. … [Read more...]
Crepes with Hollandaise
Crepes or flap jacks? We grew up calling the flat pancake like roll up a flap jack. Usually we ate them with butter and a sprinkle of white sugar. Yes. White sugar. Or honey butter...or maple syrup. You really can't go wrong. This recipe is for a savory crepe - stuffed with wilted greens and cheese and drizzled with buttery hollandaise sauce. You will get your quota of healthy saturated fat in … [Read more...]
Banana Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars
I haven't made these bars in over a year - about 2 years maybe. I was pregnant with Isla and one of my good friends was also pregnant - with her first. I had a small brunch with her and another good friend who happens to be vegan. I was a little panicked when I thought of the task it would be to make a good vegan dish for brunch. No eggs. No meat. No butter. Of course, she's the type to not … [Read more...]
Breakfast Pudding
One thing is for sure - I struggle with making and eating breakfasts. I make the occasional muffins or pancakes or hot cereal - but it seems most days we are in a hurry and need to grab something quick before heading out the door. This breakfast pudding is a complete hit at our house. I make it the night before and we can grab it and have it on the road. It's filling - but not over the top - and … [Read more...]
Pistachio Lemon Cake
This morning the most amazing thing happened. No work was waiting for me at my desk when I got up and Isla woke up again before 5am so she was on her first nap by breakfast time. I had time to bake! I sat in my dining room and watched the sun come up while looking through one of my favorite cookbooks. Pretty sure that has never happened in the 3 years we have lived in this house. What a treat. I … [Read more...]
Frozen Pearls
For weeks Ollie has been asking me when we would get to try our "frozen pearls". I received these weeks ago to try and review from Stonyfield and just never got around to it. Every time he would ask I would be busy or it was night and I couldn't take a good picture or whatever. SO - how did we celebrate the first day of Spring? We had frozen pearls for breakfast. And it was worth the … [Read more...]
Raspberry Yogurt Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
This is definitely one of my go to recipes when I'm getting company for a late morning brunch or an afternoon tea. It has never failed me yet. Tangy yogurt and cream cheese with raspberry jam and almonds. Not much goes better with a cup of coffee. The hardest part is waiting until it cools off. Not only does this have sliced or chopped almonds on top of it, it has almond flavoring. On a side … [Read more...]
Bagels
When I was pregnant with both of my kids I could not get enough bagels in the first few months. I kept our local bagels shop in business for the first 3 months of my pregnancies. Every day for dinner I'd have to have a turkey sandwich on an oatmeal bagel. I also remember practically running back to the car after buying a bag of bagels - not even being able to wait to get home to rip open the bag … [Read more...]
Berry Vanilla Muffins
Good Monday Morning! We had a really nice weekend at home. It was almost 50 degrees on Saturday so we took advantage and spent most of the day outside. I got the car cleaned out and played a little fox and goose in the snow with my Ollie. Not sure if we had the rules down, but we had fun. Jason got me a awhile back (the guy sure knows the way to my heart) and it is seriously one of my all … [Read more...]
