Baked Quinoa Patties

October 20, 2012

I wasn’t planning on sharing this recipe, but after eating these little gems (happily) three days in a row for lunch, I figured they were worth writing a post about. As much as I like quinoa and for all the talk surrounding how healthy and wonderful quinoa is, I don’t actually cook it that often. [...]

Homemade Wheat Crackers

September 19, 2012

I took a quick trip to Chicago last weekend to reunite with some good girlfriends of mine. I spent a good 48 hours overindulging in gossip, food, and drink. So the last thing I wanted to do this week after I got back was to make or eat anything too unhealthy. Homemade wheat crackers were [...]

Zucchini Bread + Cooper’s First Blog Appearance

August 20, 2012

I don’t really want Cooper to overshadow the zucchini bread in this post, but it is his first blog appearance, so I’ll let you be the judge. Before I start gushing about the joys of puppy parenting, let me tell you that this zucchini bread is really good. This version has a little whole wheat [...]

Homemade Graham Crackers

June 28, 2012

Graham crackers always remind me of my friend Allison, who once gave up “graham crackers at work” for Lent. She also gave up “bread at restaurants” another year, but now I’m getting off topic. What I’m trying to say is that Allison really loves graham crackers. So when she came to visit us in Houston [...]

Whole Grain Yogurt Biscuits {with Honey}

June 15, 2012

My little sister started baking before I had the slightest interest in it. She had a passion for it from a very young age, while I just dabbled in it as a kid. So growing up, I was able to pick up a few tips and tidbits from her and it has undoubtedly influenced my [...]

Key Lime Cookies

June 5, 2012

It’s officially summer around here. I’ve already got a tan going, my car is covered in sand from the beach, and Andrew has been making margaritas non-stop for the last 2 weeks (he’s trying to perfect his recipe). Between his margarita making and my juicing and baking, we’ve been going through limes like crazy. I [...]

Baked Oatmeal {with Bananas and Blackberries}

May 29, 2012

I have loved oatmeal ever since I was a little kid. I grew up making those little instant packets for breakfast before school (the maple and brown sugar ones were my favorite). But now that I’m an adult, I like making the real stuff. Real oatmeal to me is always old-fashioned oats and is always [...]

Strawberry Shortcakes

May 24, 2012

While it’s not officially summer (not until mid-June anyways), the heat in Houston has convinced me otherwise. I thought what better way to welcome summer than with an old school summertime treat like strawberry shortcake. I must confess that I don’t have any memories of eating strawberry shortcake growing up, but for some reason I [...]

Peach Crisp

May 9, 2012

I found wonderful local Texas peaches at the market the other day. I got a little carried away and bought more peaches than we could possibly eat, so I used a good portion of them to make a crisp for dessert. I love a good fruit dessert and this one is no exception. The topping [...]

Almond Coconut Granola

March 29, 2012

My mother and father-in-law were in town for a week and just left this past Tuesday. We had a lot of fun taking them around Houston and showing them our new life here. Just last April they were visiting us in our tiny one-bedroom apartment in New York, so their visit really brought to life [...]
