Cranberry Barbecue Beef Oven Stew + Socca
I was so excited to drive out to the mountains for a lunch at Iron Goat Pub and Grill that I completely forgot my camera. [Makes for a great excuse to return!] I was so excited to have the gluten free fries and chicken wings, that I forgot to sprinkle salt on top. I was…
Pumpkin Pie Quinoa Breakfast Casserole
Nothing says I love you like a bouquet of flowers just after you’ve told your girlfriend she is no longer allowed to bring liquids into your car. Kevin was away on business this past week. He drives a much nicer car than me. One could argue that the only reason his is better is because…
Thoughtful Gifts: 111 Kisses In A Jar
Yesterday I promised I was not going to be sharing any new recipes with you. I hold true to that promise. But, since I’ve posted a few Valentine’s recipes over the month, I thought it’d be fun to do a round up! [Writing this post has made me very, very hungry] Okay… now that I’m…
Lovers Chocolate Raspberry Quinoa Cake
I’ve never done this much Valentine’s Day baking in my life. This easily surpasses what I did at Christmas. Something you should know about me – I have a tendency to go overboard on everything, including themed events. But I can now say with 100% confidence, this is the last new 2011 Valentine’s recipe I’ll…

Rosy Love Potion
Kevin gets back from his trip to the UK tomorrow. First thing I plan on doing is giving him a big hug and kiss [common’ we’re all adults here!]. Next, I’ll tell him I’ve renamed myself to Rosy Love Potion. Okay, maybe that’s a bit out there. But you have to agree it would make…
Rib Sticking Cream of Potato Dill Soup
The adventure of the pureed soups continue. I love pureeing because: Pureed foods share healthful commonalities with smoothies. Pureed soups warm you up quickly. Almost anything you puree tastes fantastic and is easy to make. You can freeze pureed foods and eat them later. I have a vitamix. I know, you can puree with other…
Dipped Rose Shortbread Cookies
I may or may not have gone overboard on Valentine’s Day recipes. It kinda just… happened. I lost myself for 5 hours baking on Saturday. When I bake, I taste, I experiment, I taste some more… I made over 6 different things 1-2 times each. That’s a lot of taste testing in 5 hours. I…
Food for thought: Embracing our indulgences
The original post of moderation began with Angela from The Diet Book Junkie, then passed to Erin from The Healthy Apron, then to Stef at The New Healthy [which is where I picked up the thread]. Each of the ladies took a different approach to the conversation. The one that spoke to me the most…
Sleepy Banana Muffin Smoothie
I’ve been making smoothies everyday for breakfast for the last 3.5 years. I even brought my VitaMix with me to Portugal on a business trip, just so I wouldn’t miss out on my breakfast tradition. Commitment? Or fear that I wouldn’t know how to ask for a smoothie in Portuguese? We’ll never know. My smoothie…
