Cake from August

After my parents left, Kyle and I spent the day catching up on errands around the apartment.  It was raining so we kept busy indoors with football…and cooking. I can’t believe this dish turned out to be such a hit.  It was truly the most random thing ever, but it ended up really wowing my husband.  It wasn’t vegan, but it could easily be made so.  I guess that makes it blog-worthy… Because I threw it together using what I had on hand, you probably already have the ingredients too.  Tomatoes, onions, rice…they’re basics. Comfort… Read more >

Starting the day with savory

My Huckleberry addiction continued on Sunday morning with my parents, sister, and Kyle.  Since it was a weekend morning, the place was packed, but at least we got to watch them make bread while waiting in line.  And ogle over the baked goods.  Maple Bacon Biscuits.  Whole Wheat Raisin Scones.  Apple Almond Cake. Whole Wheat Fruit Slices.  Zucchini Teacake.  Blueberry Ciabatta.  Flatbread of the day. Macaroons.  Peanut Butter Cookies.  Whole Wheat Shortbread Cookies.  Ginger Teacake. Mini Chocolate Cupcakes.  Chocolate Chip Cookies.  So which look best to you?  If they were vegan, I’d be all over… Read more >

Eighty five candles

Saturday was my grandma’s 85th birthday. Well, technically it’s not until later this week, but it was her birthday PARTY at least.  I hope I’m blessed with her genes because she doesn’t look 85 at all!  Am I right or am I right?  To celebrate, my Aunt and Uncle hosted a party at their house in Laguna Beach.  Naturally, our family gatherings include lots of fun and good food, so I’ll share some of the highlights. G-ma, Auntie Wendy, me, Mom Hazel Food From left to right: vegetarian lasagna, warm ciabatta bread, turkey lasagna, salad,… Read more >

Shots and real food

I used my alarm clock every morning this week, and unfortunately that theme continued into the weekend as well.  Rough life, huh. On Friday morning I woke up early, ignored the drizzly weather and went for a quick 15 minute jog around the neighborhood, followed by an abs & arms workout back at the apartment.  Half-way through my sweat session there was a knock on the door.  Hmmm… Hesitant to answer the door in a sports bra (or reveal that I was watching The Real Housewives of D.C. reunion while working out), I opened it… Read more >

Tweak-er

My first attempt at oatcakes was a tasty one, but the texture didn’t work. The proof was in the pudding-like consistency. So I tried again.  Much better. Now I feel confident sharing this success story with you all. Butternut banana oatcakes 1/2 cup rolled oats 1/4 cup whole wheat flour 1/4 cup NuNaturals stevia baking blend chia seed “egg” (1 scoop chia seeds + 1/8 cup water) 1/3 cup pureed butternut squash 1 banana 1 tsp cinnamon non-dairy milk (optional – I used a touch to thin the batter a bit at the end) agave… Read more >
