Every once in a while I make something and think, “Why haven’t I made this sooner?” That is the case with the following recipe. The truth is, I love quinoa. It is a super alternative to some of the standard starches served with meals. It’s loaded with nutrition and has a fun texture and nutty […]

These are a great treat to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee and will […]

Welcome to COOKIE WEEK! We are kicking off our 4th annual Cookie Week this week with the Classic Florentine. I cannot tell you how much I adore these cookies.

Things have been super hectic around here this week. Life got in the way and prevented me from getting out of all of the stuff I had planned for you. Add to that the fact that the nut infographic that I posted yesterday took about 3 times longer to complete than I budgeted. I scrambled […]

There is something so satisfying about angel food cake. I have managed to convince myself that it’s actually “good for me”. There is very little fat involved and all those egg whites are loaded with protein. Still, I suppose moderation reigns supreme. Angel food cakes scare off some folks. If you haven’t made one before, […]

This weekend the initial phase of our community garden project wraps up with a ribbon-cutting. There will be door prizes, treats, and photo opps for local politicians and would-be gardeners. Of course, this is just the beginning, but the area residents are very excited and several beds have already started to grow. As a bonus, […]
