It’s official: I’VE DISCOVERED THE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS! (No offense to my daily-beloved oatmeal, banana and peanut butter powerhouse breakfast, but sometimes savory morning meals take the cake. Errr….”take the bacon”? I need a better analogy.) Toasted Ciabatta with Gruyere Cheese topped with Seared Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus, a Poached Egg and Truffle Oil (That little [...]
Hoppy Easter! I hope the bunny brought you lot’s of treats! My dad, aka the king of breakfast, out did the Easter Bunny this year with a luscious brunch. Let’s face it, a hearty meal is better than a basket of chocolate. I was treated to his specialties: Waffles and Cappuccino, with a side of [...]
I did something very silly…I traveled without my camera! I know, the horror! Half of my pictures from the past few days are sitting on the floor of my apartment and half of them are on my mom’s camera. So, Good News: I’ve been baking. Bad News: Recipes will be delayed. For now I leave [...]
I eat a LOT of oatmeal. Some might say that I have an oatmeal obsession. Every day I wake up early, at least an hour and a half before I have to leave for work, just so I can make, sit down and thoroughly enjoy a quiet bowl of oatmeal. A typical bowl includes rolled [...]
I liked the idea of baking something healthy for a change. You know, a recipe that uses oil instead of butter and some form of whole grains. If you like Fig Newtons I think you would enjoy these. I had the good fortune of eating this along side a bowl of Greek yogurt with banana, [...]

In all fairness, I am a big fan of the weekend in general, however; Sunday has a special place in my heart. Growing up Sunday was a time for family. We slept in, went to church and spent the day relaxing together over a luscious brunch prepared by my dad and hearty early dinner. Living [...]
1/3 cup rolled oats (last of my container ) cooked in 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk, 2/3 cup water, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. 1 TBS Chia seeds and 1/2 banana whipped in at the end. Topped with crunchy peanut butter, strawberry jam, blackberries, local orange blossom honey and Mini Magoo’s Funstuff. I woke up [...]
New Year’s celebrations left me feeling exhausted yesterday. I’m one of those people that does not function well without sleep. After 8+ hours of rest last night, I felt renewed. I woke up this morning, slid my fuzzy slippers on and made my way to the kitchen to whip up a batch of chia-banana oatmeal [...]
Happy New Year’s Eve! Where did the year go? I’ve been taking time to reflect on this past year, with hopes of an even better 2011. I’ve had a lot of great foods this past year and want to thank you all for your encouragement and support. Going through my photos, I realized that I [...]
