Clean Food Cornbread (with a side of eggs)

Another Clean Food success story.    Since I was working on the 25th, Kyle made me Christmas dinner, which included Terry Walters’ skillet cornbread recipe.  He made it in a casserole dish instead, with a few changes, indicated below. Clean Food Cornbread 1/2 cup corn flour 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour 2 tsp powder egg replacer 1 whole egg 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup rice milk almond milk 3 tbsp maple syrup 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 seeded, minced jalapeno… Read more >

Who was Betsy?

There are certain phrases I find myself saying lately that make me sound like I’m 100 years old.  Or living on a farm in the 1940’s.  I don’t know how I suddenly aged 70 years but it’s kinda odd.  They aren’t even phrases that my parents said, so I have no excuse. Anyone know where the phrase “Heavens to Betsy!” comes from?  It’s pretty random when you think about it. I digress… The oats-in-a-jar trend never really caught on in the HHH household.  But I’m frugal by nature and would never dream of letting these… Read more >

Fridge foraging

It’s getting to the point where making my meals are almost Top Chef challenges.  The fridge is nearly bare, save for some lingering leftovers and oddities that have been hiding in the back for quite some time. Case in point, this yves veggie cuisine meatless deli turkey.   When I first went vegan, I used to make sandos out of this stuff (or some similar brand) all the time.  I had completely forgotten about it until I discovered it the other day.   Since I haven’t had real deli meat in years, this mock meat… Read more >

Windy Thursday

Evidently Los Angeles kiddos are getting their version of a snow day today.  Last night I was tweeting about the crazy winds, so it’s not surprising.  A lot of people lost power in Pasadena and downtown LA too apparently, including Ethel who got to go home from work early.  I’m actually a bit jealous (of the kids, not the people who lost power) since I don’t get days off for weather or holidays (or anything).  Pity party over.  I’m going to Argentina in 6 days.  This pumpkin banana smoothie dropped my body core temp about… Read more >

Full Friday

Forget this Black Friday business, I’m too stuffed to function. I am actually having a hard time looking at the food photos I have from Thanksgiving…but the pictures of the kiddos…I could look at those all day.   It may be a while before I can comfortably post Thursday’s meal(s), but I have pre-feast work food to share.   First up, a peanut flour/oat breakfast.    In addition to oats and peanut flour, I stirred in some home-made granola and chia seeds as well.  Sometimes my breakfast bowls look semi-watery and I occasionally get questions… Read more >
