Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Just a quick entry to pass this recipe along.  So here it is!  I promised you a recipe for Chocolate Zucchini bread, and this gal delivers.  Yes, this tastes a lot like cake, but because it is baked in a loaf pan and very much resembles the other zucchini bread recipes you…

Chocolate Chip Cherry Snack Cake

You may have noticed that the ingredients I have been using lately are all widely available at your local farmers market- i.e. in season.  There is a reason for that.  First of all, availability.  As with today’s recipe, you can’t get fresh cherries year round, so if you are going to bake with them,…

Cornmeal Pancakes W/Blueberry Sauce

Don’t let this picture fool you.  No matter how good you think this looks, it tastes even better. Usually, when my husband works regular hours (which is almost never), Saturday morning is the only day of the week that we get to really indulge in a nice big breakfast.  With the exception…

Oatmeal Raisin Snack Bars

For several years now, a friend of mine has been dealing with issues in relation to food.  Like, major stuff that would totally bum me out if I was her.  Heck! Lets be honest.  I would cry if I had to give up the things she has had to give up.  Cry…

Whole Wheat Cornbread

I have been trying to get this recipe made for months.  I have had it printed out from the Eating Well website which, by the way, is fantastic.  Anyone interested in food that tastes great but has a healthy twist will LOVE the website, the magazine, the emailed newsletters; all of it.  If…

Good For You Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

These aren’t just any cookies.  Oh no.  Yes, they are chewy and crunchy and sweet.  But they are also good for you. Years ago, I came across a recipe for cookies made with canola oil.  And while with certain recipes I am definitely a purest (Low fat alfredo?  Uh..No.) there are as…

One Bowl Chocolate Cake

Sooooo…the last few days in my kitchen have been very experimental.  Meatball sliders, grilled chicken skewers, chocolate cake, white cake, punch, carrot salad…exhausting!  My son turned 2 last week and his birthday party was on saturday.  *sniff*  I won’t go into the emotional details, but suffice to say that if somebody ever…

Honey Bran Muffins & Distractions

Sadly, it has been just over a week since my last post.  I know.  It never hurts to state the obvious. I hadn’t planned on it being that long.  I had planned to get another entry done a week ago before my family left for a weekend of fun at a water park. …

Oatmeal Pancakes

First of all, I want to clarify that we love these pancakes.  No matter what you read in the following paragraph, know that we think they are awesome and there are numerous exclamation points written in the margin of the recipe.  I wouldn’t post it here if I didn’t think that you would…

Banana Bran Muffins

In the short time I have been writing this blog, the majority of recipes included have been baked goods.  While this won’t always be the norm (not everyone likes to bake and I like to cook just as much) I have been whipping up a lot of muffins and breads lately based…

Earth Bread

Yes, its that time of year again.  The time when you realize that you should have planted only one zucchini plant instead of four.  And while this year I am without any veggies due to the deer who keep eating the blossoms off the plants (the little jerks), I have been stocking…

Matt’s Pancakes

Ah, pancakes.  Now you may not be too excited about this, but we eat a lot of pancakes in our house.  The other day we had breakfast for dinner; pancakes, sausage, eggs over easy, and sweet potato hash.  I make big batches and then freeze them for quick breakfasts for my kids. …

Basic Wheat Bread & My First Posting

Welcome! O.K. Its official. I started a blog. And, may I add, that I did it all by myself. The appearance may change over time as I figure out what all the computer jargin means, (Figure out? Who are we kidding. I’ll ask my husband.) but until then, this is what ya…
