Adding a bit of color (sliced apples and pumpkin seeds) and texture (sprinkled leftover ingredients: nuts, raisins, sunflower seeds) takes this dish from good to better 🙂 Get the recipe for this homemade oatmeal here. *I’m considering adding […]
What’s not to love about smoothies? When made with quality ingredients and without tons of extra sugars, juices, and empty calories, they’re the perfect portable, quick, easy, painless, and above all yummy fruit and veggie delivery systems. Some mornings are crazy hectic though – I don’t always have time to […]
I drink lots of homemade smoothies, usually about 2/day. Some of my reasons are health-based, i.e. painlessly increasing my whole fruit/veggie intake.

During our trip to San Francisco, hubby and I got the best grilled cheese sandwich from Cowgirl Creamery in the Ferry Building Marketplace. We actually split one, but a couple bites in, we were both thinking we should have gotten our own! I decided to try to recreate it. Although […]
I seriously believe that breakfast is indeed the most important meal of the day: it gets my metabolism going, helps me shake off I’m-still-sleepy sluggishness, and sets the tone for the rest of day. (I am not so joyish or sunshiney when I’m hungry.) Â Sometimes, though, my mornings are […]

After realizing that I know little no portion control when it comes to cereal, my go-to quick lunch (sometimes 2 slices and always with a mug of green tea) has also become my go-to late night snack (sans tea). Almond butter on multi-grain toast topped with sliced apples: simple, fast, […]
