Post-Easter, post-carrot cake - I'm now just trying to find places to put the left over carrots. Carrots are one of those vegetables that I'll eat if it's on a platter at a party, but I don't necessarily go out of my way to buy them often. Pre-carrot cake, I used some for waffles. You… Continue reading Recipe: Carrot Cake Stove-Top Protein Oats

Recipe: Carrot Cake Protein Waffles for One
Some things are a matter of habit - pancakes, waffles, egg whites, peanut butter. I'm just grateful that I know I'm not alone in having foods and ingredients that I incorporate often into my routine. Whether we believe it or not, we all get into our own routines. But sometimes, things need to get spiced up… Continue reading Recipe: Carrot Cake Protein Waffles for One
Recipe: Almond Flour Oatmeal Cookies (egg-free, oil-free, gluten-free)
While cake and doughnuts/donuts are my over-the-top treat when I crave something sweet, cookies are one of my favorite things to bake. I find them to be simple, at least in comparison to a cake. I also like how they're easy to manipulate. Maybe one of my super powers is the ability to adjust recipes… Continue reading Recipe: Almond Flour Oatmeal Cookies (egg-free, oil-free, gluten-free)
Recipe: Roasted Red Pepper Spread (~4 servings)
A friend of mine is doing Whole 30 because she has some concerns digestively. I have nothing against an elimination diet when used appropriately. There are other diets like FODMAP that eliminate a kind of food and have an introductory period to help the individual determine what foods may or may not be leading to… Continue reading Recipe: Roasted Red Pepper Spread (~4 servings)
Recipe: Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten-free)
I typically adhere to a balanced eating pattern - meaning, I don't follow a diet that eliminates anything. I just don't eat what I don't like. However, I know that for some people they need to eliminate some components of a food like gluten or whole aspects of food like dairy. A friend of mine… Continue reading Recipe: Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten-free)
Recipe: Squash Soup
Last December, I had been experimenting with soup because that's comfort in winters in New England. I mean, really, soup is just comfort anyway. I had played with Broccoli Cheddar soup that had been inspired by Panera, except I was really trying to not give myself a stomach ache. The recipe was a hit and… Continue reading Recipe: Squash Soup
Recipe: Cranberry Relish
There are very few positive holiday memories that I have. I outlined a few not so positive ones here, and I glossed over Thanksgiving. It really wasn't a big holiday growing up, but there are two things on the table that I really liked. Sweet potato balls: mashed sweet potatoes (canned) that have a marshmallow… Continue reading Recipe: Cranberry Relish
Recipe: Slow Cooker Beef Roast
Meal planning based on the sales at the store has led to some interesting meals in our house. Some pretty common in other households and some not-so-common. This past week our local store had certified angus beef roast on sale for $2.99/pound, which is more than half off it's usually price. Since we've been pulling… Continue reading Recipe: Slow Cooker Beef Roast
Recipe: Pumpkin Puree
This is the story of the pumpkin who believed it could so it did. Every post I write revolving around fall food mentions my love of other fall foods like apple pie and maple lattes, but guys let's be honest with ourselves - we love these things, but they can get expensive. Apple picking can… Continue reading Recipe: Pumpkin Puree
Recipe: Crockpot White Chicken Chili
Fall means a number of things: It's now socially acceptable to have a PSL glued to your hand at all time. Leggings and over-sized sweaters are also acceptable. Apple picking, pumpkin craving and all the baking that comes with those can commence. Chili becomes a staple in my house. I make a two kinds of… Continue reading Recipe: Crockpot White Chicken Chili
