Crispy or chewy? What kind of a cookie are you?Old Fashioned Peanut Butter CookieFor dinner tonight I had leftover Butternut Squash and Beef Stew with Parmesan Toast. I decided that because I was saving time and dishes by having leftovers, that I should probably bake peanut butter cookies. I wanted the classic, old fashion, wholesome [...]
Chicken and Andouille Etouffee; Skillet Cornbread with Honey; Kale and Garlic Saute with Cherry Tomatoes and Parmesan Cheese; Cabernet Sauvignon. Born and raised in Upstate New York. Southern girl at heart. Dinner tonight was leftovers. Typically I dislike leftovers. I love cooking and they deprive me of the opportunity to make something new. Even though [...]
Whole Wheat Caprese Pita (1 whole wheat pita, 1 medium ball of fresh mozzarella, spinach, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes). Carrots. Something New: Whole Wheat Pita. Growing up, my favorite lunches consisted of a tuna or an egg salad pita pocket sandwich. (Liverwurst was another favorite but that is a story for another time…gross.) I’m not [...]
I have been neglecting my cereal boxes (yes…plural…I have 4, don’t judge they each serve a purpose). Don’t get me wrong I love cereal. I could eat an entire box in one sitting, but nothing fills me in the morning like oats, fruit and nut butter. My recent blueberry purchase prompted me to stray from [...]
Happy Wednesday! I thought you might be getting sick of my daisy bowl and cold oats, so I decided to switch things up for today with a new combination. Actually I’m lying, the daisy bowl is dirty. Enter: dancing crab bowl. For the first time in months I was craving hot oatmeal for breakfast. I [...]

After dinner last night I sat on my futon praying for a cool breeze to pass through my window…..It didn’t happen. I did what any profusely sweating individual [...]
How does it go from being 20 degrees to 60 degrees in a week? I don’t even need an answer to this question, I am LOVING this weather! After my Galaxy Vanilla Almond Granola experience yesterday morning, I needed more. I decided to update my favorite summer breakfast: 1 cup yogurt, mixed berries, bananas and [...]
I have been dying to “experience” chia seeds ever since I started reading about them on blogs. I think I may have entered every single chia giveaway in the blogsphere in hopes of obtaining some of these babies. Well, I was tired of waiting and finally made my purchase! What is so special about chia [...]
Happy Friday! My morning oats are finally back! And thank goodness! While I typically do enjoy mid morning snacks, yesterday I was absolutely FAMISHED a few hours after breakfast (way hungrier than usual, and after calculating my actual “breakfast to famished” time it was 2 hours not 3). I determined the only breakfast that truly [...]
