Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
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....
Jammies are kind of a big deal in our house. Weekends are definitely for pajamas – it is rare that all 3 of us are showered and/or dressed by noon on a Saturday or Sunday. While we all 3 love (love, love, love) brunch in general, the thought of actually getting ready and leaving...
We all have our own opinions of hidden/hiding vegetables…but we can agree these are just yummy! Whether you advertize the addition of carrot or don’t even mention it, they’re simply scrumptious and a great way to add a fruit and veg to snacktime, breakfast, dessert, whenever.
by Sara Sullivan RECHARGE NOW! Every day, millions of Americans complain of being tired & moody. Most of us chalk it up to having too much to do and not enough time to do it. But often the true culprit is an everyday habit: what we eat, which impacts how we cope emotionally. The food-mood...
I’ve got a sick baby this week (just a cold—but with a 2-year-old it’s never JUST a cold…), so we’ve been watching more TV than usual. As we were waiting for dinner to finish the other night (sweet pea and chicken sausage risotto=baby comfort food), I was flipping channels, and when I got to...

Today, she’s sharing tips for creating streamlining your morning routine with kids in tow! Today was my 2-year-old daughter’s first ballet class. It was adorable. She floated like a bubble and hopped...
I saw a recipe in the coupon section this weekend for “3 for 100” mini pumpkin muffins from Libby canned pumpkin and decided to whip them up this morning—making them my own, of course. I used egg whites instead of whole eggs and plain rolled oats on top instead of granola, as was called...
If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you know my feelings about veggies and how you should eat them at every meal of the day. But, like most Americans I expect, I have trouble fitting them in at breakfast. I want to, but a bowl of cereal or slice of toast is...
Baby D. and I had a play date last week with one of her little friends, who happens to be a very picky eater. I whipped up a batch of these muffins—based on my low-sugar carrot cupcake recipe—with some chunky homemade applesauce and pumpkin puree I had in the fridge. I LOVED the addition...
We really didn’t know what to expect with this recipe. I mean, the ingredients are innocuous enough, but with a name like “omelette puff…” Turns out, these are pretty tasty, if a little unusual. They have a nice, fluffy, slightly spongey texture. The other nice thing is that they lend themselves almost infinitely to different toppings; pretty much...
