Classic Brownies
Or not so classic, maybe. These brownies are egg and nut free, and can easily be made dairy free! I found the recipe on Allrecipes.com, and have made a few moderations (with the help of some user comments) to make them even tastier than the recipe! In the past I’ve had a really tough time […]
Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are my best cookies, and most likely the best cookies in the world. I realize that is not at all a humble thing to say, but it’s true. Try them for yourself and you’ll see! I’ll put the regular recipe up first, then the “healthified” recipe I made the other day. Good news – […]
Thursday Thoughts + Pumpkin Spice Cake Cookies
1. I still have an essay to complete (from this past Fall semester), and it’s kicking my butt. No matter how hard I try, I cannot write a good essay unless it’s due the next day. I hate it! It’s not simply procrastination – I want to get it done, but for some stupid reason, […]
Skinny Chicken Parmesan
Skinny Chicken Parmesan (E, N) makes 4 servings adapted from this amazing recipe Ingredients: – 4 four ounce chicken breasts – 2 tbsp. butter – 1/2 cup panko – 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning – Cayenne pepper, garlic powder (to taste) – 4 tbsp. Parmesan cheese – 1/2 cup marinara sauce (I used Prego Heart Smart) […]
Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies
The base of this recipe is one of my favorite cookies. Ever. Ever ever. I’ll put up that recipe sometime, but for now………. Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies (E, N) makes 4-5 dozen Ingredients: – 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour – 1 cup whole wheat flour – 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder – 1 tsp. […]
Happy 2012!
Happy New Year! I hope your year is the best one yet! I brought in 2012 old person style: I was at home before 7:45 pm, watching movies and TV (Horrible Bosses – so funny!), and I fell asleep before the ball dropped. I woke back up to see it, but then promptly fell back asleep. […]
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Crescent Rolls
I wanted a quick recipe for Christmas Eve breakfast (we celebrated our Christmas on the 24th this year, since we had a family party on the 25th), and had found this (E, N) recipe previously. It was a huge hit! I only put the glaze on half of the rolls, just because I don’t like things too […]
Chicken Cordon Bleu
This was in a 5-ingredient magazine (by Taste of Home), but I decided to add a few more to make it more tasty. If you use low-fat cheese, this recipe is actually pretty healthy, and packed with protein. I served mine with peas, roasted sweet potato, and brown rice with Craisins. Yum! Chicken Cordon Bleu […]
Homemade Protein Bars
Monday evening, I had wanted to make some granola to sprinkle in my Greek yogurt in the mornings. I remembered this recipe that I had found, and decided to use it. However, it wasn’t until I was mixing up the batter that I realized I had made a protein bar recipe instead of granola. I […]
Roasted Sweet Potato
Here’s just a quick recipe for my favorite way to eat sweet potatoes. The pictures aren’t excellent, but the end result definitely makes up for it! 🙂 Roasted Sweet Potato (E, N, D, GF) Makes 1-2 servings Ingredients: 1 large sweet potato Salt, to taste 1 tsp. olive oil Non-stick cooking spray Directions: Preheat oven […]
