This muffin is my version of a brown sugar cornmeal muffin from the 2000 Cooking Light Complete Cookbook. I didn’t have any cornmeal and I had bananas to use up, so I threw those in instead. I also didn’t have vanilla yogurt the recipe called …
I LOVE Nutella! I never even tried it before a year ago, and I didn’t know what I was missing! But how do I incorporate that into healthy eating? I had to come up with a dessert. I’ve only made this once before, but it’s …
This breakfast was a winner today! I took the leftover chili/cumin/garlic powder chicken I made last night and added it with a potato, egg and cheese to make a breakfast hash. This kept me full forever! Ingredients: 1 egg “fried” with Pam cooking spray 3 …
Sometimes I feel like something savory for breakfast, but this morning I wanted something sweet. As I was looking in my fridge, I didn’t have time to make pancakes, or something more complicated, but I thought about french toast. Instead of using bread though, I …
OK, I have to start with my tomato!!! Last year for Mother’s Day, my husband got me 2 Topsy Turvy Tomato planters. Granted it was cooler last summer, but I kind of didn’t keep on top of them and I hung them too high, so …
By now, you all know how much I love muffins! So much so, that I make a batch pretty much every week. It’s easy to take to work in the morning, it’s easy for the kids to grab and snack on during the day and …
Yesterday I posted my recipe for green salsa, I ended up making a quick version of chicken enchiladas. This went from start to finish in about 30 minutes. The quick method I used, was I took 3 big boneless chicken breasts, trimmed of any fat …
So yesterday I was checking my e-mail and I clicked on Food Buzz’s featured recipes for the day. One was from THIS SITE and it was for bacon, cheddar and cornmeal waffles. It sounded amazing to me, but I don’t have a waffle maker, so …
I was reading other people’s blogs the other day when I came across a great blog I’ve never heard of! It’s called Cowgirl Chef. After reading her bio, she was a journalist from Texas, who moved to Paris a few years ago, started cooking Tex …
One of the things I love to do is make something deluxe when there is seemingly nothing to eat in my house. You can open up the fridge, and look in the pantry and think there is nothing to make. That’s how it was over …
If you haven’t tried spicy oats before, you must give it a try! I make this a few times a month I would say. Although I love oatmeal with brown sugar, or berries, doing it this way is also deluxe! I use: 1/2 cup quick …
I know what you are thinking…what is she thinking putting pretzels as a crumb topping on muffins? Well, I love sweet/salty combos and I just wanted to try it out to see what would happen. The result? Very good! It gave it a nice crunch …
I bring my breakfast to work every day for a few reasons. Getting 3 kids out the door every morning takes up my time and I don’t have time to sit for a minute! If I eat at my desk, I can check e-mails, and …
A few weeks ago, I posted a recipe for homemade turkey sausage for breakfast sammy’s that came from The Biggest Loser recipe archives. This is the best ever breakfast sammy! It was super easy to make and this sandwich kept me full ALL morning. I …

I adapted this recipe from Penzey Spices Catalog I got in the mail. I made a few adjustments. One being that I used silken tofu instead of the butter for the recipe, the other is I used skim milk instead of whole milk. The results? …
I can’t believe the week is almost over!! And we’ve had several days in a row of sunshine in Chicago, so that makes me happy (even though its still freezing out!) I had to share my yummy stir fry! I think I had at least …
My waffle maker made a rare appearance this weekend! I haven’t used it in probably 6 months. I was reminded of a recipe I made last year, and it didn’t disappoint. This recipe is adapted from Spark People I ended up sauteing a banana in …
Have you ever woken up and decided you don’t really feel like a “breakfasty” kind of meal. No pancakes, no oatmeal, no cereal, I want something different! So, this is what I made for my breakfast: 1 cup cooked quinoa sugar snap peas red onion, …
When I went to the store last weekend, I found in the freezer section all sorts of flavors of Goya Brand Fruit Pulps. Flavors like papaya, pineapple, passion fruit, etc… For each 1/2 cup its only 39 calories. So I picked up the passion fruit …
I adapted this recipe from “Eat Better America”. I LOVE banana bread, and like Christina, we always have bananas in our freezer! The one thing I did change was instead of walnuts, I added chocolate chips. I also used Nevella, which is a new brand …
Thanks to Dave at Year on the Grill and Cathy at Noble pig, I tried out both of their recipes. Cathy posted a recipe for an egg that was cooked in a bread bowl. Dave went one step further by making his own rolls! The …
