Sixty. Minute. Cinnamon. Rolls. (you’re welcome) I don’t know about you, but every time I scroll through Instagram, I see another photo of cinnamon rolls. They are everywhere and every time I see them, I want to make them. The problem with cinnamon rolls is that they are yeast-based… which means that they need to…
Boozy Banana Steel Cut Oats
When I was in graduate school, I would treat myself to breakfast in bed. Because what is better than eating something delicious while snuggled in your pj’s and blankets when the snow is falling outside (absolutely nothing)? While I found that eggs, cold cereal, and pancakes a tad too messy to eat snuggled in my…
Oatmeal Cookie Granola
Happy Tuesday, everyone! Did you have a good Super Bowl weekend? We gorged ourselves on chili, pretzels, and cookie bars and it was FANTASTIC. But now, I’m ready for some lighter eating. Which means a filling, yet hearty breakfast to start my day off right!! And when I think about a light, hearty breakfast, I…
Easy Western Frittata
The first time I made frittata by myself was at 6AM on a snowy Monday morning during graduate school. I was taking a food systems class and we had a farm-to-table assignment. We were required to go to the local farmer’s market, buy a local ingredient, and then make a dish to share. We went…
Savory Oatmeal with Spinach and Fried Egg
One week ago, I was attending the Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (FNCE). While I learned a lot of information about latest research, practice guidelines, and new teaching concepts, I was inspired by all the different food trends being displayed. Like the idea for savory oatmeal. My friend and I went to a breakfast…
Double Corn Muffins
Now that summer is coming to a close ( *sob* ), I am trying to purchase/cook/eat as much summer produce as possible. Which means that I am gorging myself on peaches, berries, tomatoes, and fresh sweet corn. While I love my fruits and veggies, I usually get stuck in a rut – marinated tomato salad, berries…
Eggs-N-Greens
Okay, I have a confession to make… I love boiled eggs. Ever since I was little, I have loved having boiled eggs with breakfast. They gave me a protein boost for school, plus I liked having the task of peeling eggs. ( I was probably the world’s most annoying egg peeler since it would take at…
Applesauce Muffins
Have you ever been SO busy that you look down at your calendar and freaked about the date? That has totally happened to me. How could we be at the end of May already? (can time stop for a minute, please?) As I am getting back into the swing of bloggy things (no internet for a week…
Vegan Chocolate Banana Nut Muffins
Okay, guys, it’s confession time. I am not a big fan of vegan baking. (sorry!) From trying to find vegan margarine sticks (a wild goose chase) to figuring out what is the best egg replacement (Pumpkin? Applesauce? Flax seeds?), vegan baking has basically been an epic fail in our house. Until we stumbled upon the…
Lemon Blueberry Scones
Happy Saturday, everyone! And happy Easter weekend to all who celebrate! Easter has always been my favorite holiday, both as a child and as an adult. As a child, I loved the Easter basket stuffed with chocolate, the big family gathering that starred a roasted lamb on a spit, and the promise of a perfectly pastel-colored…
