Thai Inspired Warm Kale Quinoa Salad

Dana Bueno — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:54:52 +0000

It’s been said that kale is sooooo last year, but it’s still a staple in our house. Don’t give in to the kale haters! I use it raw in my green juice, but I also really enjoy it cooked just slightly, so it turns bright green, and added to a salad. This salad is inspired by my Warm Kale Quinoa with Lemony Tahini Dressing, but I modified the dressing for my […]

I’m putting myself out on a limb because you probably already have the best brownie recipe ever or have tasted the best brownie ever, but y’all, I’m pretty sure this is the one! This is the recipe I make whenever we host a party, and I want to feed a crowd. It’s way easy – no creaming the butter or anything like that – nothing complicated or too much work. […]

Finding football & the one thing that has revolutionized my day

Dana Bueno — Sun, 01 Feb 2015 20:57:02 +0000

It seems as if it happened overnight!! We went from all about Legos to all about sports. Both Reuben and I have wondered where did those Lego-fanatic boys go? Does it really have to go by so fast? We can’t stop it … no matter how hard we may try. When I witnessed for myself how excited they got collecting cards and with their constant talking to me about players, […]

Spinach Topped Bruschetta

Dana Bueno — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 20:23:25 +0000

Here’s a super quick and satisfying small plate or appetizer. Superbowl snack …. go Seahawks!!! Bruschetta is a fantastic way to introduce a new vegetable to your kids! With toasty bread as the carrier, the veggies will be more inviting – like a mini pizza. You may love, as I do, the crunch of a toasty bruschetta, but you may need to heat the bread for a shorter time for your little ones. Did I already […]

Roasted Rainbow Carrots topped with Granola

Dana Bueno — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 18:35:19 +0000

The restaurants in Nashville inspire me!! Since we moved to Nashville, one of the restaurants at the top of our list is Josephine on 12th. On a Friday evening ordering several small plates & wine to share with Reuben is my favorite way to kick off the weekend! I love their roasted vegetables and often we order a couple for our meal. Their roasted carrots remind me of Sundays growing up, […]

Advanced Style

Have you seen Advanced Style : The Documentary?? Ari Seth Cohen –“I roam the streets of New York looking for the most stylish and creative older folks.” I loved the movie and the message that personal style can advance with age!!! It inspired me to reach into my closet and style some pieces I hadn’t worn in quite some time. For this post, I “shopped” my own closet and pulled […]

Gooey Gluten Free Brownies

Dana Bueno — Sun, 25 Jan 2015 00:58:00 +0000

These brownies are moist, fudgy, easy to make, and keep well. They are the gluten-free version of the brownies I made for the bakery. I love how they are gluten-free, yet made without the addition of extra starchy flours – brown rice flour & garbanzo bean flour keep them feeling earthy. Enjoy!! xo, dana Print Gooey Gluten-Free Brownies Author: Dana Bueno Prep time: 20 mins Cook time: 30 mins Total time: […]

Perfect Cut Out Cookies

Dana Bueno — Fri, 23 Jan 2015 17:44:56 +0000

I have yet to meet a child who doesn’t love to roll and cut out cookie dough! It’s the ultimate Play-Doh experience with the prize of eating the cookie afterwards!! The kids and I have turned out loads of cut out cookies from our kitchen. They love to practice their rolling, cutting, and sprinkling skills. The ones they do themselves–with no assistance from me–are the “perfect” ones. xo, dana Print Perfect Cut Out […]
