On the 4th of July I decided that we needed some sort of dessert and I wanted to use only what we had in the house.I looked in the fridge and saw that we had farm berries and butter. I quickly looked in the cabinet to make sure we had brown sugar, flour and oats.…… Continue reading Easy Summer Dessert – Berry Crisp
This past weekend I had an extra long weekend. I had off Friday through Monday and I had a lot of great intentions to work on the cookbook project, write and test out some recipes and take some photographs. Isn’t it funny when you had such a nice long weekend, but you can’t remember everything…… Continue reading Lemon Chia Muffins
Back on January 8th we bad a blizzardy weekend. I was snowed in, it was cold, windy and we had a lot of snow. But all in all it was not too much to complain about because we had been having a mild winter and not too much snow to speak of. I was hoping…… Continue reading Snow Days
I had a lot to do on Saturday. But for some reason I thought it would be the perfect time to do some baking. Sure, it was almost ninety degrees outside. Sure I was running around the city like a crazy person trying to get so many things done before a late afternoon cookout. But…… Continue reading Blondies
We had a lot of bananas hanging around the house this week. I ate one almost every day in the morning, but I purposely left three bananas in the house and watched them as they got very ripe – overly ripe unless you had a plan for them. All week I had a plan -…… Continue reading Banana Bread

It wasn’t until I…… Continue reading Chicken Tortilla Soup and Chickpea Cookies

I found this recipe online a couple of months ago and had been really excited to try it for weeks – but things have been so busy,…… Continue reading Caramel and Cauliflower
Happy weekend, everyone! I was so ready for this weekend – I can’t even tell you! I have had a pretty productive day around the house. I cleaned, did laundry, baked carrot cake cupcakes and I made a salad for dinner tonight. Wow, I haven’t sat down all day – and it’s 2:45 now. I’m…… Continue reading Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Hi there bloggies: Is it really Tuesday night already? The week certainly is not flying by (by any means) but at least tomorrow is hump day! (I might be celebrating a little early, huh?) Remember back to Thursday and Friday of last week when I was getting back on track with eating more protein and…… Continue reading Mini Vacation & Carrots
Is this a long week for anyone else or is it just me? Just wondering. So. On Tuesday I had lunch with my friend Nichole and she recapped her most recent success running the Philadelphia Marathon the weekend before Thanksgiving. I had butternut squash soup and a piece of Arnold’s double protein bread while we…… Continue reading The week so far…
