Buckwheat Pecan Waffles

Eating healthier and dropping a few pounds is on the table (you’ll excuse the expression), once again.  This time, it’s my turn by doctor’s decree. I’m following my own advice – not going off the deep end, not going into deprivation mode, but rather, transforming some favorites into equally delicious alternatives.  Let’s face it.  If [...]

Healthy Multigrain Pancakes

I made Multigrain Pancakes for breakfast, this morning. And they were awesome. But, what is it about the month of January that makes me want to take another look at pancakes? I mean, last January I gave you the Best Buckwheat Pancakes Ever. Now, this? I think, like most of you, I’m suffering from “Holiday [...]

Guilt-Free Pumpkin Ginger Muffins

Ah, guilt. This period of time between Halloween and New Year’s Day is filled with rich holiday foods, sugary cakes and candy and cookies and sweets. And I’m guilty of peppering you with those things, too. It’s like the world has given us permission to indulge without regret and without regard to our waistlines. Even [...]

HB in 5: Red Beet Buns

To review, Michelle over at Big Black Dog, organized a group to bake from the book by Dr. Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe François, Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I’m a day late and quite probably more than a dollar short, to get this post up with our assigned Red Beet Buns in honor [...]

Recipe Monday: Black Bean Chili Sloppy Joes & HBin5

I came home late from work the other night, and even though the temptation was great to order in pizza or take out Chinese, I resisted. I had just baked these light and fluffy burger rolls with the Soft Whole Wheat Bread dough recipe from Healthy Bread in 5 Minutes a Day, and was really [...]

Recipe Monday: Roasted Garlic & Spinach Pasta

If you skipped yesterday’s posts hoping I’d move on to a happier subject today, you’re in luck! I’m on a healthy cooking kick lately, most of which seems to be occurring over the weekend. If something works out, Mondays are the logical time to share that with you. Mostly so I’m forced to write it [...]

MultiGrain Mango Ginger Muffins

Speaking of mangoes… I was inspired last week by Elle’s Brown Butter Maple Blueberry Muffins, to try and make a version with less sugar and more good stuff that MJ (the hubs) can snack on that won’t completely sabotage his diabetes type II diet (he’s down 35 pounds and 2 pants sizes!). Please don’t make [...]

MultiGrain Maple Blueberry Muffins

I’m not sure what’s gotten into me, lately. All I seem to think about and talk about is Food. With a capital F. You might have picked up somewhere along the way that I love to cook and bake, but I generally don’t obsess about it like I have in the last couple of months. [...]
