When we were invited over to our friends’ place for dinner the other night, I was honestly going to bring that awesome salad and call it a day, but when I found out there wasn’t any dessert, I was forced to act. ^_^ One of our friends doesn’t eat gluten or dairy, so a lot…

Cinnamon-Banana Oatmeal Bites
After several weeks of successfully finishing off our organic bananas, we were again faced with a dilemma – freeze, compost, or experiment? Given my husband’s request that I not expand upon my store of frozen overripe bananas and our aversion to food waste, I figured I basically had no choice but to experiment! After the…
Chocolate-Banana Oatmeal Bites
A few weeks ago I came downstairs and discovered that my bananas had moved from nicely ripened with brown specks to, um, black. Having wasted more than a couple bananas in my day, I knew I needed to act quickly if I wanted to put them to good use. My initial reaction was to just…
Creamy Coconut Chia Pudding with Bananas
When putting together the menu for Mother’s Day, I wanted something yummy, but also super healthy and nutrient rich. I was about to dig out my cookbooks when I remembered this little gem of a recipe that my favorite neighbors shared with me awhile back. When my neighbors served this at a potluck last year…

Flourless Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Last night, I thought I had my entire Saturday morning planned out: wake up around 6, have a cup of coffee, make scones using my favorite recipe, devour scones while having another cup of coffee, head for the farmer’s market, share the recipe for those fabulous scones before noon. Instead, we woke up around 10,…
