S’Mores Cupcakes

February 25, 2010

I’ve been on a bit of a S’mores kick lately. Which is kind of funny, because I don’t particularly care for S’mores!
But lately, whether it be my favorite Glo bar,

a S’mores pancake gone horribly wrong (delicious, but note remotely photogenic),

or these little cupcakes, I’ve had [...]

Cinnamon Peanut Butter Hummus

February 22, 2010

Thanks for all your great advice and input on my workout frustrations. I responded to a lot of your comments on the original post, and am going to see a sports doctor later on today. Hopefully I will come out of it with good news!
(Thank you, University Health Services, for offering free drop-in sports therapy [...]

Spicy Humamole

February 9, 2010

Typically, Dan and I don’t go all-out for Valentine’s Day, since our anniversary is only two weeks before. Well, except for the first year we were dating, when he surprised me with an a cappella show in my dorm!
Usually though, we simply have a nice dinner together, and maybe exchange small gifts.
Until this year. Yesterday, [...]

Two Kinds of Scones

February 1, 2010

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, [...]

Protein-Pumped Pasta

January 26, 2010

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 [...]

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.

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