I can never pass up a good ice cream opp, so even though the last one was a giant flop, I had to give the Root Beer Float popsicles a try. I think I made up some other thing we needed at the store, and while I was there I snagged a Hagen-Daaz pint of [...]
I tried. I really did. My cousin and her hubs are moving out here – the first time we’ve lived in the same state since we were itty bitty – and they stopped by on their way through. I knew I had another popsicle post to do, and I knew they had to be special. [...]
We are all about strained yogurt lately as a quick, satisfying snack. Chobani is my brand of choice, but at $1+ for 5 oz, it adds up. Even though my cashew yogurt attempt was not the greatest, I’m always up to try something new. When “something new” means “something you forget about overnight,” I’m particularly [...]
If granola is the veg*n mascot, hummus is the quarterback of the team. We all love granola, in doses, and it’s cute that we are called “crunchy granola types” just because we don’t do Big Macs. But when we get away from cute and start talking about the real stars that get us through, it’s [...]
It’s been awhile since we’ve had a home-run recipe. Hubby and I have really enjoyed some, like Deviled Eggs and Brown Rice Pilaf, but the boys are kind of struggling with us trying so many new things. I should probably cycle them through more, but I’m nearing the end of the cookbook and my patience [...]
This is another recipe I remember making way back in the day when I borrowed my first copy of The Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook. We were going to Passover, potluck style. They went over okay, but I left off the paprika. Apparently, that’s not okay. These have paprika, and although I did use mayo instead of [...]
Although I’m supposed to be back to eliminating dairy, corn and eggs to do a proper trial on them and figure out what is still making us react, I had this cream cheese in there..and pumpkin..and I just couldn’t let it go to waste. Really. The plan had been to make it over the weekend, [...]
When the boys were toddling and bouncing all over the house, alternating between ecstatic at some great new noise they could make or completely devastated that life was so hard (you know, like trying to pick up all three of those blocks at one time or going a whole four hours without a nap cos [...]
Hubby has been eating a restricted diet, as well, and between the two of us, we are just dying for some legumes. Seriously- how many times have I talked about burritos in the last couple of weeks? Before we both lost our minds, we took a break. Yeah, yeah, I have taken lots of breaks. [...]
I haven’t quite been able to figure it out yet, but while I absolutely detest shopping, thrifting is another story altogether. I’ve heard it described as the hunter/gatherer instinct kicking in. Maybe that is the difference. Thrifting is hunter/gathering, and regular shopping is more like an overpriced buffet. Not only is there the adrenaline rush [...]
