Adventures in Healthy Eating
I originally posted Chocolate-Coconut Energy Balls in 2014. I’m reposting now as I search my archives for some of my fun, forgotten recipes. I’ve never quite been able to master my own granola bar recipe but put a few forgiving ingredients in a bowl and mash together into balls and voila! A homemade, portable snack…
How’s everyone holding up? Has cabin fever set it yet? I’m embarking on my third week of being home during this pandemic. The kids seem to be handling it better than I am, but all is well. I can’t complain. I’ve been cooking up a storm, and the more I cook, the more I hate…
I’m hosting a virtual dinner party this Sunday to help fight off the quarantine blues. The menu includes a cocktail, appetizer, main course, and dessert. Join us and host your own date-night-in! Hey guys! So I haven’t been posting as much as I wanted during this quarantine. I’ve been spending most of my time getting…
Cabbage, Ham, and Potatoes isn’t the prettiest meal, but it’s a one-pot powerhouse of flavors and a warm bowl of home-cooked awesomeness. Happy first day of quarantine! I kid, I kid, but then again, I’m not. It’s Monday here in Maryland, and we are staying home for what looks like the foreseeable future because of…
Egg Roll-Up with Spinach and Ham as posted in 2011… Happy Monday! I know, don’t you hate when people say that? I do, depending on my mood, but when I sit down to blog, it comes out of me naturally. I guess it’s my way of starting. Anyhoo, Jenny emailed asking for an old Egg…
PANCAKES PANCAKES PANCAKES PANCAKES is a collection of my pancakes recipes from the last fifteen years. Since starting to blog in 2004, I have posted about a dozen pancake recipes. All of them riffs on a basic recipe using a mashed banana and some combination of flours. I used to think there was some big…
My favorite recipe from the McCormick Flavor Maker Series, One Pan Chicken, and Vegetable, is finally posted. Out of all the videos I recorded for them this summer, this was the one I was most excited to share. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it tastes fantastic. I make this one every few weeks for a…
Regardless if you are doing Whole30 or not, this Kale Potato Chicken Soup is big on flavor and nutrition. I no longer follow the Whole30 plan, but I understand why people do. It’s a great way to focus on more nutrient-dense foods. I, however, found it too restrictive mostly because I really like beans and…
Grilled Grouper with Parsnip Puree and Shiitake Mushroom Risotto marks the third week The Husband and I stayed in for “Fancy Friday” — a new tradition I started to have more fun cooking at home. We kicked it off with a Bacon Seared Scallops and Roasted Cauliflower over Carrot Puree and topped with a fresh…
The Bacon Cheese Inside-Out Turkey Burger recipe was originally posted in 2011 and then featured on the Today Show in 2013 — click here to the clip! Back then, I was working with the Laughing Cow and providing content and recipe ideas. You could use any cheese for this, of course. The light babybel round…
