Pumpkin & Pomegranate

I have had so much squash this summer you wouldn’t believe it. No complaints! I love the Zucchs and the squashes, but I have been running out of ideas for (quick) ways to prepare them. Most of my squash have had the same fate…either a slow roast and topped with vegan Parmesan, or a breakfast [...]

Don’t get me wrong, I love my almond meal pancakes. They are delicious, full of good fats and protein, and they really hit the spot. They are a little dense though, and sometimes I just want something a little more delicate. Enter Coconut flour. Coconut flour isn’t as oil heavy or dense as almond flour, [...]

I was gifted a few pounds of peaches from a friend’s tree, and with the success of my blackberry cobbler I had to try my hand at a peach cobbler. Sadly Matt isn’t a fan of peaches…oh well, I guess this one is all mine ;-) Peach Cobbler Ingredients: 5 C. Peaches, chopped 2 T. [...]

It’s hot. It’s REALLY hot. I am from Texas and have been through some scorchers, but at least in Texas we have the decency to have air conditioners. Yesterday in Seattle it got up to 103° F in some spots. I am not amused. I have been trying to think of things to eat that [...]

This quality is an advantage when it comes to baking. He follows directions to a T which [...]

I had quite a productive evening the night before last. I got off work a tad early since I did not take lunch. Well not really, I was SUPPOSED to get off work early since I did not take lunch, but I ended up staying until 4:30 anyway. I raced home and made a salad [...]

Last week we had a bit of a cool snap and the lovely hens who supply my breakfast ceased their production for a couple of days. This happens, and so I was left with a dilemma this morning when I found myself without any eggs for my usual scramble. I knew I needed protein to [...]

I had a REALLY nice Friday night, actually my whole weekend was quite lovely. Busy, but lovely! Friday night I decided to do some things that really fulfill me. After I did a 15 minute workout * Note: Jillian Michael’s “30 Day Shred” went RIGHT back into the mailbox. She is irritating, not fun, and [...]

I baked M a big pan of cinnamon rolls for breakfast this past Sunday, and since he usually does breakfast on Sunday he wanted to make me something *new*. Our usual is a big pan of sautéed veggies (Swiss chard, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc.) plus 2-3 eggs each. But since he has requested a special breakfast [...]
