Nutless Nutella

April 8, 2014 by heather Leave a Comment

Nutless Nutella

Since my son has started Kindergarten, I’ve become all the more aware of nut allergies and sensitivities. So many kids are allergic to tree nuts. It’s scary, and it’s also sad that they don’t get to enjoy delicious things like Nutella! I’ve been using a lot of sunflower butter lately, in smoothies or just spread…

Honey Nut Date Granola Bars

Honey Nut Date Granola Bars

Every day my kids have to take two snacks to school, one for the morning and one in the afternoon. It’s easy to fall into the habit of always sending them a packaged snack size item. But, they’re mostly processed and not really nutritional. I’ve tried sending fruit or vegetables a few times but it’s…

Peanut Butter, Coconut & Almond Granola

  It feels like by this time of year, everyone is itching for warm weather. But, with several more weeks of winter left, finding a way to bring some sunshine into your day may be the only way to get through the end of the season. When I think about warm weather, fresh, delicious fruit…

Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts

October 24, 2013 by heather 6 Comments

Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts

Okay. So these may not fit the traditional definition of donuts. They’re not fried. They’re not cream or jelly filled. They won’t send your blood sugar soaring. Trust, I love me a donut. And I’m mighty skeptical of donut impersonators. (Is it donut or doughnut? Hmmm.) What these Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts are is absolutely…

Moroccan Spiced Chickpeas

Moroccan Spiced Chickpeas

  When I first was introduced to Middle Eastern food, hummus was about as exotic as I would go. The Arabic word for chickpea (or garbanzo bean) is hummus, but in the US it’s just a delicious creamy dip that’s become all the rage in the last few years.  For a long time I used…

(whatever is in your cupboard) Cereal Bars

(whatever is in your cupboard) Cereal Bars

  ’m not sure when I became ‘that’ mom, or when the line was even crossed … but, I am constantly buying cereals for my children that they do not eat. You’d think with their pleading, promising, and convincing that they’d actually consume some of the contents… But that would make too much sense and be far…

Pumpkin Banana Bread with Pumpkin Pie Spread

Whew! That’s a mouthful of a title, and these delicious pumpkin-y inspired recipes – Pumpkin Banana Bread and Pumpkin Pie Spread –  are also a mouthful. A yummy mouthful. A few nights ago we had no soccer practice, no ballet, no gymnastics, and no golf. A night at home without anywhere to run or jog…

Whole Wheat Chocolate Cherry Muffins

Whole Wheat Chocolate Cherry Muffins

Chocolate and cherry has to be one of my favorite flavor combinations. It all started with those sugar bomb cherry cordials from the drug store. You know the ones I’m talking about? The ones that make your teeth ache within minutes of ingestion. Yeah. Good stuff. These  Whole Wheat Chocolate Cherry Muffins have the same…

Honey Almond Granola

Honey Almond Granola

Storebought granola? Pshaw. It’s ridiculously expensive and honestly? Homemade is just SO much better and couldn’t be easier to throw together. An added bonus? You can guarantee it’s gluten free (if that’s part of your diet) simply by using gluten free oats – like Bob’s Red Mill. Also? You can alleviate the unnecessary white sugar. I…

Healthy Chocolate Blueberry Muffins

Healthy Chocolate Blueberry Muffins

I like to think of myself as the healthy muffin queen. I make some damn good muffins! I am constantly experimenting with new ways to make healthy muffins -I leave out the oil and sugar and replace it with raw honey from my Grandpa’s farm and Greek yogurt. This recipe actually came about when I…
