Work is s l o w and I'm down with the Covid, so what a better time to replace that gross looking Chickpea salad picture with something better. At least a little more appetizing. I looked through the pictures that I had taken awhile back and found a few that I haven't posted about yet. I'm going to go with the Butter Cake that was surprisingly good for as healthy as it is. Sometimes you make … [Read more...]
Soaked Granola
What a squirrel. My littlest says 2 things before his eyes are even open in the morning. "Mom, would you please put your hair down" and "Can I have granola and milk with syrup". Yes to both. Because he is such a granola lover and it's the first thing he puts in his little body, I want to make sure it's the healthiest as possible. Oats can be a little hard on your body to digest, so I've … [Read more...]
Sourdough Crackers
We typically buy our local bakery's sourdough bread from our Coop once or twice a week. You really can't get better than their sourdough - slathered with butter. Since we aren't even going into our Coop (they shop for you AND put them in your vehicle for you) we aren't getting our usual fix. They've also been out of it every time I order. That's when I decided to start to try my own sour … [Read more...]
Cashew butter cookies
I went to take a few pictures of a bridge that was nearby where I grew up last weekend and I forgot how much I love to take pictures. Maybe I'll slowly get back into this again... Anyway - I made some real good cookies this morning and thought I'd share the recipe. It took a food processor. gasp. Ugh - It's all of the way in the back. It's like 5 pieces and at least 2 trips to the counter. I'll … [Read more...]
Almond Fruit Bread
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...]
Meatballs in Spicy Sauce
Boulettes de viande avec une sauce piquante et des pates d 'Alsace...Or in English, Meatballs in Spicy Sauce with Alsatian Pasta. My husband gets me a cookbook for about every occasion he can. He knows the way to my heart is through my stomach...wait, shouldn't that be him?? This recipe in particular came out of The Little Paris Kitchen. I was looking through a few cookbooks trying to find a … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Bread
I was originally not going to use this recipe as a post, but it turned out so well, I didn't want to lose the recipe! I have made gluten free pumpkin bread, but it seems that my pregnant body just craves gluten. I don't feel like I have a "problem" with gluten, so I have been embracing it :) Most of the pumpkin bread recipes use oil and tons of sugar. I used Kerrygold unsalted butter and … [Read more...]
Healthy Twix Bars
Last week, I got out of bed and opened the shades of my bedroom window. Something caught my eye. It was some sort of paper that kept catching the sunlight. A wrapper. A twix wrapper. I took it as a sign. I've been trying to eat pretty healthy - since I'm eating for 2. I found a recipe for healthy twix bars online and tweaked it a bit. They turned out fabulous. Almond flour, a touch of … [Read more...]
Chocolate Raspberry Bites
Sometimes I just want something sweet. If I make a pan of brownies or a "pan" of something I start out by eating a corner...then a row...and by the end of the day 1/2 the pan is gone. Not really. Well maybe sometimes. These little raspberry bites are not only gluten free, they are made with honey. No white flour. No white sugar. Makes me feel a bit better about not only eating them myself but … [Read more...]
Roasted Peach and Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt
Nothing says summer like fresh peaches. and ice cream or in this case - frozen yogurt. I have wonderful memories of eating Schwan's peach frozen yogurt at my grandma's house that she had saved for company of course...and this recipe reminds me of that -without the high fructose corn syrup of course :) I came up with this recipe after reading Yogurt Culture. She has so many awesome yogurt … [Read more...]
