Brittany's PantryChinese Chicken Salad
The feel like I should start by saying that the relationship between cabbage and I is still in the infancy stage. I didn’t eat much of it growing up and soggy coleslaw from the deli was certainly not going to sway me toward this rubbery, bitter vegetable. But slowly, with much cajoling…
Whiteout Smoothie
Have I ever mentioned how much I love white? I don’t like to to wear it-that is just an accident waiting to happen-but I love it in my house, my dishes, my kitchen, my decor, and now, in my smoothies. My cupboards are white, my appliances are white, and I collect milk…
Sour Apple Coleslaw
In general and on the whole, I am not a huge coleslaw fan. I think it is the cabbage that gets me; the bitterness of it. We never ate it all that much when I was a kid and if I came across it at a social event (i.e. potluck, family reunion,…
Peach & Banana Sunrise Smoothie: Back to School Post #6
Finally! A recipe! I have been busy in my kitchen, but canning and freezing, not cooking real food. But after some last minute tweaking, this recipe is ready for you! I know that a recipe for a smoothie can be a bit of an oxymoron; smoothies are generally a-throw whatever you have…
Whole Wheat Zucchini Spice Muffins: Back To School Post #2
Here we are again! More back to school recipes and ideas! This recipe came about fast and furiously. Much like the way zucchini grows. It sneaks up on you unexpectedly and then BAM! You have a garden full of green bats that could feed a whole vegetarian army. I was in the…
Peanut Butter W/Honey, Cinnamon, & Cocoa: Back To School Post #1
Hi everyone! I know I have been kind of missing the last week or so and I have a good excuse. Its summer! I have been immersed in home improvement projects, little red wagon walks around the neighborhood, bike rides, picnics, and appointments! I am also in the middle of trying to…
Honey-Lemon Grilled Chicken
So here it is. Many of you email me or send messages asking for healthy, gluten-free, dairy free, easy meals. Well, my lovelies, it doesn’t get much better than this. Much like the oh so popular grilled pork chops, this recipe requires minimal ingredients and minimal effort with a big return. The…
Power Parfaits & Quinoa Granola
A few weeks ago, I confessed my love of quinoa. When I recently came cross a recipe that called for cooked quinoa in granola, I nearly fell off my chair. I thought it was brilliant, and before I had even made any I was sold. Granola is a protein, nutrient rich food…
Banana Sour Cream Pancakes & Hotel Room Service
Quite often, food reminds us of special times in our lives. Culinary memories, if you will. My Mother-In-Law was telling me over the weekend that the smell of cinnamon rolls makes her think of her Mother. She used to bake them in the afternoons so that they were fresh and warm for…
Pomegranate Glazed Carrots
I generally think of carrots as a kind of perfect side dish. Aren’t they a kind of super hero in the culinary world? When they showed up as an ingredient on Iron Chef America, people cheered! Hooray! A familiar food that you can do…ANYTHING with!! With the exception of cooking them until…
Homemade Granola Bars
At the end of April my youngest sister came to visit, meet her newest nephew, and run a half marathon. Yeah, we like to test the physical endurance of our guests every now and then. Look! Aren’t they cute together? Nearly every spring since we moved to central IL my family, my husband, and sometimes…
Cherry Frozen Yogurt W/ Mini Chocolate Chips
I knew I had a winner with this recipe when my husband dug into the freezer container and filled his empty coffee mug right up to the top with this frozen yogurt. Make no mistake. This is tangy and wonderful and so refreshing it will give you chills. No pun intended… The…
Honey Cheesecake Bars
These little squares of deliciousness are nothing short of dreamy. When my parents passed along the last bottle of honey I would get from them until the end of the summer next year, I horaded it. I wanted that last jar of wild honey to last forever and so my chances were…
Strawberry Orange Pineapple Smoothie: Leftovers
When I say leftover smoothie I mean a smoothie made with leftovers, not a smoothie that was not finished and then saved for later. I should be more clear with my post titles… This smoothie, as with all smoothies, is just dumped in a blender and whirred away! Usually I think smoothie…
Strawberry-Avocado Salad W/Honey Lime Vinaigrette
I had this recipe in mind to share with you from the beginning of this blogs creation and for reasons I don’t quite understand, I just have never gotten around to it. My bad. Please don’t judge the recipe by the simple picture above. The lettuce combo I happened to have in…
