Too Good to Wait

May 22, 2010

We interrupt this Tea Week to bring to you a special recipe. I fully intended to publish this recipe after Tea Week, but that would just be cruel. This is far too good to hold out on you like that. Angela reminded me the other day of the wonder that is dessert hummus. As you [...]

An Ode to Quinoa

January 17, 2010

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 [...]

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. This pesto is flavorful and simple to make. For those of you who aren’t veggie fans, it doesn’t taste much like spinach at [...]
