Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
Making your own almond milk – Is it worthwhile? If saving money is the chief motivator then it’s a pretty clear cut answer: no. Even with the lowest possible price for almonds in our area (on sale for $4.99/lb at Sprouts), homemade almond milk ended up costing 250% more than the cheapest store-bought option....
This is an alternative to Rum Raisin Scones. For me personally, raisins are too big and squishy for baked goods. I liked this currant version of the Rum Raisin idea best – the currants didn’t absorb as much rum so the scones were merely suggestive of rum in a very pleasant way. Plus the...
Read all the details and background of the Rum Scone saga here. Or cut to the chase and see the recipe below 😉 I originally tried this recipe with vanilla and using a new vanilla technique but found that the rum flavor overpowered the vanilla seeds and so it wasn’t a worthwhile use of...
Sometimes a great idea hits and you just have to run with it. [Cue the unused bottle of rum hanging out in a cupboard and the rapidly desiccating currants and raisins in the pantry.] Yep – that’s right: Scones + booze. Specifically, Rum Raisin Scones. To be thorough, I tried two batches – one...
I’ve mentioned on this blog before that I (Lacy) was diagnosed with an eating disorder when I started seeing a therapist last summer after the death of my father. From a purely scientific perspective, it’s been a fascinating process — looking at all my weird idiosyncrasies when it comes to food, discovering the strange...
Nearly a year ago now I stumbled upon the tortilla soup that changed everything – Rick Bayless’ version of Tortilla Soup with Swiss Chard. It was and still is unlike any tortilla soup I’d had before. You’ve tasted the insipid can-see-clear-to-the-bottom-of-the-bowl versions of tortilla soup, I’m sure. This recipe is based on a very...

Cream scones are my new go-to. I’m over cutting butter into flour (at least for now). Doubly orange Orange Carrot Cream Scones (dream scones?) are one more excellent way to get more vegetables onto your breakfast table. Cream scones are so simple and delightful. The only forethought they require is having cream on hand....
The Great British Baking Show aired on PBS (via BBC) this winter and alas, is now a thing of the past. Those Brits did leave us with a trove of great recipes though – Including the Tea Time Scone, 1 of 3 classics featured for the technical challenge in the finale show. Day after...
There is still a LOT of snow on the ground here in Colorado, but I’m dreaming of peaches. Plums. Strawberries picked from the field. Tart red cherries and rhubarb. Basically, summer. In service of my everlasting goal to make eating healthier a little easier, I thought I’d round up a list of recipes that...
