Meat Free Monday: Stuffed Peppers
One of my 2012 New Year’s Resolutions was to try and make all Mondays “Meat Free Mondays“. (<– Click for a link to more information!) While, in general, I have kind of failed at this mission (there are a few reasons, but mostly its because throwing together a quick ham and cheese sandwich is the […]
Triple Chocolate Cookies
Every so often I will have an “I-don’t-think-I-can-go-on-without-a-really-good-chocolate-cookie” moment. I’m sure that not all of you are as dramatic as I am when it comes to cookies, but even if you’ve never experienced that moment, or if you don’t like chocolate (like my brother) bear with me: these cookies are unbelievable. If the name (triple chocolate!!) doesn’t […]
Chai Tea Cupcakes
I have to say, probably my favorite thing to give people for their birthday is food. If I don’t know the person very well, chocolate chip cookies are always the best bet. However, it is the most fun making food for someone I know well, because then I can customize it to exactly what they […]
Raspberry Swirl Brownies + Circuit Training
I know, I know, those two things in the title really don’t go well together. Or maybe they do, in the sense that when you eat what seems like five thousand brownies within just a couple of days, you really should do some circuit training. Either way, as promised, I have a recipe and some […]
Quinoa Oat Energy Bites
While there is a widening range of choices every year, it is generally very difficult to find allergy-friendly energy bars: most of them get protein and long-lasting energy through eggs, nuts, and/or dairy. The only store-bought kind I’ve ever been satisfied with are Clif bars, but even then you run the risk of cross-contamination, and […]
Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cake
For the past four July 27ths I have made Dan (whose birthday is today – Happy Birthday!) this ice cream cake. Four years ago I asked him what type of cake he wanted me to make for him, and somehow the conversation got around to ice cream cakes. He had never even tried an ice […]
5 Minute Microwave Brownie
5 Minute Microwave Brownie (E, N, D, GF?) adapted from this amazing recipe Ingredients: – 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour – 2 tbsp. whole wheat flour – 1.5 tbsp. white sugar – 1.5 tbsp. all-natural sweetener (like Stevia) – 1/8 tsp. salt – 1/8 tsp. baking powder – 2 tbsp. cocoa powder – 1 tbsp. melted […]
Saturday Morning Pancakes
Their name says it all. My dad (and sometimes mom) used to make my brother and me these pancakes practically every Saturday morning when we were younger. At that point, we were allergic to eggs and milk, so these were a perfect Saturday morning breakfast – and they still are, even though we’ve outgrown the milk […]
Oatmeal Scotchies
Gooood morning! I hope your Tuesday is off to a great start! It’s been a while since I’ve added a recipe on here, so I thought I’d share one with you this morning. It’s a family (and neighborhood) favorite, and for good reason! When I babysit, I’ll bring a small “reward” for the end of […]
Yoga and Other Things
It’s Friday! Hooray!! I have next to nothing planned for this weekend, and am so looking forward to it, especially since it’s supposed to be perfect weather. What are your plans for the weekend? June Yoga Challenge Well, this week wasn’t so great on the yoga front. The only workout I’ve managed to do was […]
