This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...]

I can't say enough good things about this book. The author doesn't hit you over the head with stead fast rules or try to sell some new catch phrase approach -- if I hear the phrase baby-led weaning one more time my head is going to explode -- she simple shares her thoughts, experiences and [...]

Pumpkin, peach, and blueberry, what an awesome combination! Using the muffin mix was a great base for this flavor combination. The muffins came out super moist, tasty and even the toddler was a fan. The husband’s response was, “eh”. This type of muffin isn’t his cup of tea, but he ate one. [...]

I was super psyched to make these. The combination of a sweet cream cheese, cheesecake like filling with blueberry bran muffins sounded delectable. And the husband was excited as the cheesecake part reminded him of the filling in his favorite dessert, the pumpkin roll. I made them last night and split the [...]
