Hi everyone, I hope you had a wonderful summer and have enjoyed the mostly mild weather we had. Although ironically, this week is probably the hottest it's been all summer! That means I can try to sneak in some more summer recipes in the meantime. 😉 This is a recipe I'm really excited about. On the weekends, I love to have a piece of toast or a bagel with peanut butter and jam. But the

I love coffee. End of post. 😄 No seriously, I love coffee, in all forms and at any time of the day, although I do try to drink it in moderation for the most part. In the summer, there's nothing quite like an iced coffee to really brighten your day. Especially now that it's getting into those "feels like we're walking through soup" mornings, a cold glass of coffee hits the spot! Last

Ah the chickpea. It's one of my favorites among all the chicks. 😊 I think at this point everyone has had chickpeas - also known as a garbanzo bean - either as hummus, falafel, or in salads, or maybe even as a gluten free flour. But this dish here is one of my favorite things to do with chickpeas. The curry feels a bit decadent because of the creaminess of chickpea, but it's a fairly healthy

So the BEST part of these cookies, other than the fact that they are scrumptdillyumptious, is that you can be on a diet, and still eat them! WHAT!? Yep, you heard me! I didn't add in any sugar (there is a bit in the choc chips, but you can skip that if you really want) and if you're gluten free you you have a few options to work with, and on top of that a lot of the ingredients are

Don't call it a comeback! Hello everyone!!! Well according to the internet, it's been 1 year, 7 months, and 19 days since I last posted. You may ask, where the heck have you been lady! Well, it's been a variety of things that have kept me away. It started off as work being incredibly being busy (which I don't recommend that anyone use an excuse to stop doing things you enjoy.), then

I have no excuse. This has been the longest I've been away from this blog of mine, and I really just have no excuse. But I hope I make up for it, by sharing this delectable recipe with you. You won't believe it by tasting it, but it isn't bad for you! I don't know if I'd go so far as calling it a health food, but darn it, it's pretty close! We had a ton of avocados that were all at that

Happy Spring everyone! I hope you are enjoying this fantastic weather!  I remember having Chicken Piccata several years ago in an italian restaurant, and I loved it. Since then, the years have passed, the seasons have changed, but one spring evening, as I looked at the chicken thawing in the fridge, a distant but dreamy memory floated around and visions of capers and lemon juice

Ah, the soup nazi. I miss Seinfeld. With the exception of Kramer, I loved that show so much! Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2016 has been treating you well thus far. It's been ridiculous levels of cold here in the great northeast. We've had many a day under 10 degrees F.  I know! That doesn't even sound real. And on top of that, about 14 or so inches of snow dumped on us. So

Unfortunately I prematurely used the funny little pic above in another post. But we can pretend I didn't cause it makes much more sense in this one. :) I bought cheese cloth about 5 years ago, and it sat on a shelf in my cabinet until a couple weeks ago when I worked up the nerve to make this Paneer. Making cheese just seemed like a daunting task, but after making it, I really couldn't

I struggled a bit with the title of this post. I found a recipe and altered it a few ways so that now it doesn't really resemble the original very much. If you ask my husband, he might say I do that more often than not! :) The original recipe used sugar, regular rice, rum and was more ricey than custardy. But I think this is a really nice creamy, and not so sweet version. And somehow, even

Well, I'm not sure this is the most timely recipe, considering it has gotten so cold in the last few days. But I wanted you to have it, during those times you're really wanting a cold treat, and didn't want to shove your face full of sugar. That's how much you all mean to me. :) You'll notice I put ice cream in quotes. That's because there's no dairy in this recipe. Although, if you look

Well,  it looks like we're heading out of summer into that oh so wondrous season where time moves backwards, the leaves change color, and the smell of school bus fumes pollute your morning run :) And of course it's the best season for pie!

Well, I think I've done it. I think I have found you the easiest recipe possible. Maybe.... I'll keep working on making them easier.... :) So, around 3pm, I get pretty peckish and I start thinking how I would love something salty and crunchy. Alas, I've pretty much given up potato chips, because they are just not healthy, even though I really love them. (I do make exceptions, like when

Hello everyone! Several years ago, I went to Puerto Rico for vacation. It was absolutely fantastic. What a beautiful place, with a great variety of things to do, from beaches, to forts, to lush jungles, to a rich and lovely old city type downtown area. These are just a few photos to describe our adventure.  and of course such fantastic food and pretty decent beer. One of our most

I'm baaaaack! WOW, so I see my blog page on face book and it says: You Haven't Posted in 246 Days and I just couldn't believe it.  I don't know how it got to be that so much time passed so quickly, but long story short, it's been crazy times with just a lot going on. A new house, a new puppy, new job, it's been quite a ride. But I think we're at the point now where we can

Hello everyone! How was your summer? Mine was exceptional and exceptionally busy. Since we're past labor day and heading into the chilly fall days, I thought I'd fulfill some of the requests I've been getting for a curry dish. Now, be warned that this is probably not authentic, but it's pretty darn delicious if I do say so myself. And not to mention, it's ridiculously healthy.  So

There's been a lot going on, but I'm back! And I have the most scrumptious little recipe for you! Summer is a wonderful time for entertaining.

If you'd told me 30 years ago, heck even 10 years ago that I'd be so into what I eat and what I make sure I don't eat, I'd have laughed heartily at you and chomped down on my danish or donut. Not that I don't still have the occasional danish or donut, but they aren't the staples or go to foods they once were. And the best thing about eating well is how great you feel after. And even better

Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone! In honor of this very green and lucky day, I found this little gem of a recipe for you. Now I will just say if you even remotely like Bailey's you will LOVE this. It's so good, you'll want to keep a bit of this around all year. And of course, per usual, it's so simple, there's no good reason not to make it!  If you don't drink all of it before then,

Happy New Year my friends! I thought I'd start off this year with a special dish. I'm sure everyone has seen coq au vin on a dinner menu at some point or another. It's not an every day dish, but I thought I'd give you something to wow all your friends at some points.  So I thought I'd start with the pronunciation. Phonetically this is how it sounds: Coh- co-vahn (very light enunciation

I recently got a request from a friend of mine on this "recipe" - here you go Milann :) When I go to the grocery store and I see the tiny 3 oz bags of Kale chips for like 6 dollars a piece, I feel a huge sense of despair and disbelief that 1) people pay that much money for something that in no way should cost so much and  2)  I didn't think of making and selling this myself

Hello dears!!! It has been just ages since we last spoke. It's been a busy busy few months. It's been a wonder my head is still on in one piece! It's also been a bit difficult to come up with fancy recipes, as there's been a bit of slow but sure switch to mainly healthy meals. Not that healthy meals aren't delicious, they're just a bit more on the simple side it seems. Anyway! Before I get

If you aren't familiar with sticky buns, you may be a bit unsure what to expect here.   But don't you worry. What you are about to experience is one of the yummiest treats I know of. One word of caution, it's a bit of work, but it is truly worth it. And at the end of it, you'll be so proud of what you accomplished, it'll be even better.  So, we shall begin our

No, not that Meatloaf!!  So I must admit, I'm not a very huge fan of meatloaf, as I find it to be a bit bland, and boring. But I think this recipe sort of rocks, so give it a go! I hope you enjoy it! Note: You'll notice that Turkey is in parentheses. That's because you can use any kind of ground meat you'd like. Typically, folks use ground beef for meatloaf, so that would be a
