It's the weekend! And it's long one! Let's celebrate with some homemade treats! Full disclosure -- I actually posted these bars many years ago. But the images were so atrocious and I also updated the preparation method, so I thought it would be appropriate to re-post. I have no doubt many of ...
Berry Bircher Muesli Recipe
Forgive me, but I'll have to be brief today! We just finished shooting the cookbook this week and I was focused only on that. Over the next few short weeks, I have to finish writing the book. I am really excited to share these recipes with you, as well as all the great tips and tricks I teach in ...
Peanut Butter Granola Recipe
I am a nut butter addict. I would be so skinny if nut butter didn't exist! I love them all -- almond, cashew, hazelnut, pecan, mixed nuts and my childhood favorite, peanut. Yes, yes, yes, I know peanuts are not actually nuts, but legumes. And I know peanuts are less healthy than other nuts and ...
Savory Oats with Kale, Mushrooms and Walnuts Recipe + other ideas for savory oats
I teach a breakfast cooking class once a year and in this past one, savory steel cut oats were on the menu. That's right, savory oats, as opposed to the standard oatmeal with sweet toppings like bananas and brown sugar or raisins and peanut butter. There were quite a few raised eyebrows and ...
DIY Gluten-free Multi-grain Porridge Recipe
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day not only because it jumpstarts your brain and your metabolism, gives you fuel to get going, provides energy until your next meal, but it also sets the tone for how you feel and what you crave the rest of the day. Hypothetically speaking, if I eat a ...
Bircher Muesli with Hazelnuts and Golden Raisins Recipe
I had no intention of posting this recipe today because I already have a muesli recipe on my site. But that was from so, so long ago and I know I don't even remember what I posted on this site back in the beginning so I don't expect you to! Plus this one is better and ironically I made it up on ...
Vegan Pumpkin Oatmeal Spice Cookies Recipe (gluten-free)
Have you made my vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies? If you're new here, do not hesitate. They are fantastic! They're a staple around here and definitely one of the more healthful (less bad for you?) cookies I've tried. I love that recipe so much I decided to tinker with it and make a fall ...
apricot, cherry and almond crisp recipe
I was racking my brains thinking of something to post today for July 4th that would be red, white, and blue. But really I'm not nearly as creative as all the people I pin on Pinterest or fave on Foodily and I'll be honest, I couldn't come up with something you haven't already seen. Although for 5 ...
Gluten-Free, Vegan Pear-Cranberry Tart Recipe
Why do so many people go on cleanses on January 2nd? One word -- SUGAR. It starts on Halloween with an innocent bite of an Almond Joy and keeps coming until New Years Day with that "one last piece" of cake since the big diet will start tomorrow. I'm the first to admit that although I may be ...
pumpkin oatmeal recipe
I always thought the strategy stopped once I served Thanksgiving dinner, but I actually think it's just as challenging figuring out how to work efficiently with all the leftovers. I really detest throwing away food, so I try to give away care packages to my guests before they leave on Thanksgiving ...
Trail Mix Cookies Recipe
Having teenagers is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it's kind of cool that my girls are old enough to have adult conversations and share clothes with me. On the other hand, it bums me out that they prefer to be with their friends over their parents. I don't take it personally, of course. ...
