Disclaimer: I make no claims or promises that this is healthy or even good for you in any way. It’s pure indulgence. Wonderful, ridiculous indulgence. Because of that, I made 2 batches of regular pancakes and just jazzed up the last 4 for Hubby and I. We didn’t need any more than that. Yum. I [...]
I’ve been in a bit of a creative rut these past few days, and unfortunately, that has involved cooking anything new (or writing much, as you can tell). So, tonight, I’m making something I’ve been craving for awhile, and maybe the combination of creation and indulgence will help spark some motivation. My mom taught headstart [...]
About 7 months ago now, we bought bulk bags of raw almonds, cashews and peanuts. And I do mean bulk. I think they were 50 lb increments? It was a lot. Is a lot. Still have… a lot. At the beginning of the year, the raw nuts were fine. Grab a handful here, put a [...]
Forgive me if I gush a little in this post. See, I’ve always had a thing for Jack in the Box tacos. But I haven’t always lived near a Jack in the Box. It’s been roughly 12 years and eight months, in fact, since I have. But who’s counting? So yeah, if anything was keeping [...]
I promise, this will be the last curry post for awhile. I’m pretty sure I’m like a thousand or so years late on the curry train, so this is probably getting a bit old do you who have been on board for awhile. This one I couldn’t resist sharing, though. I have been working [...]
(Following up to yesterday’s post on sugar highs, Lana has shared a recipe for caramel sauce without dairy or refined sugar! And there was much rejoicing.) I won’t claim that this amazing sauce is the most delicious caramel ever. I love Kraft caramels. and nothing made from agave nectar will be identical to those sugary [...]
Our food processor find has been pretty fun. I’ve never had a food processor, so the infomercials from the 90s still kindof impressed me. Now that I have one, I have to resist the urge to put random things through it, like a pencil or a stack of receipts. I also want to put on [...]
Last night, I had a craving. An intense one. A weird one. I really, really wanted pancakes…cooked like biscuits. I envisioned them with gravy pooled on top. I could taste the flakey goodness with a crispy outside. My only problem was…I had never heard of them. It’s hard to describe something you’ve never heard of. [...]
One of my good friends, a doula and childbirth educator and all around smart chick, is always reminding me that my sweets cravings are likely tied to a need for more good fats. Coconut oil, olive oil, avocados…And she is so right! A big bowl of guacamole goes so much farther than a bowl of [...]
As I was rushing around trying to find my camera to snap a picture before Little Bean decided I’d waited too long to eat, Hubby was in the living room raving about how he liked this more than some chicken fried steak he’d had. This, coming from an avid lentil-hater. I’d say it was a rousing success.
