Happy Monday, friends!
In the past few months, I have participated in two bake sales for charity, where I sold Sea Salt & Dark Chocolate Cherry Scones and Chai Tea Scones. Now that both of the bake sales are over, I’m able to post my scones recipes today!

Loved by Lindsey, Heather, Ashley, and Dan, [...]

I wanted a protein-filled lunch for three reasons today.

I had my first spinning class today! (Which, by the way, kicked my booty. I will be going back, though!)
I did an intense weights workout this morning.
I’m having a late dinner tonight with Kelley and Amanda at the Melting Pot, and need something to hold me over [...]

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites (and a Winner)

January 25, 2010

This holiday season, I fell in love with Jessica’s Cookie Dough Truffles the very first time I made them. Dan and I liked them so much, in fact, that I made them two more times, at the Cooking for College Students Class and on Christmas Eve for my family and friends.
As much as I love [...]

An Ode to Quinoa

January 17, 2010

Though most people think of quinoa as a lunch or dinner meal, my favorite time of day to eat it is for breakfast.

…Because of this, I will not be posting the recipe in the near future, as I hope you will bid on them for this great cause instead.

Coconut-Cherry Granola

January 12, 2010

Who doesn’t love granola? Crunchy, rich and sweet, it beats out regular cereal any morning of the week. I love making my own because it gives me complete control over what goes into it, and it is so easy to switch up the flavor each and every time! I love the tropical coconut and tart [...]

Breakfast Quinoa On-the-Go!

January 10, 2010

A few weeks back, I came up with an idea for a recipe. I decided that today was the perfect day to try it out, since we’ll need lots of fuel for this week’s 14+ hour drive from Wisconsin to Ithaca, NY, and these little beauties are nice and portable.
I present to you: Breakfast Quinoa [...]

New Friend, New Recipes

January 8, 2010

I have a new friend, and her name is Cuisinart Mini-Prep processor. Here we are on Christmas together:

So far, I’ve made hummus, almond butter, and pesto with my little Mini-Prep. Yum.

Carrot & Spinach Quesadillas

November 23, 2009

Because of the upcoming holiday weekend, I don’t want to buy groceries this week.  I’m actually kind of enjoying the challenge.  Rather than running out to the grocery store when I am missing an ingredient or two, I have to be creative and work with what I’ve got.
It is also helping clean out some food [...]
