Healthy Snacks
Healthy Snacks Here are two easy to make nutritious snacks. I’m trying out different recipes to see which ones I like best. The healthy bars are good and the quinoa chocolate drops are great. I’m partial to chocolate. It took me less than an hour to make both treats. I stored them in airtight containers in my fridge and they’re perfect to nosh on in between meals or after a workout. The recipe for the Quinoa Chocolate Drops I found on: Skinnyms.com Instead of rolling the drops in almonds I used unsweetened coconut. The recipe for the Healthy Bars I found on: Roxanashomebaking.com Enjoy!

Valentine’s Day Cookie Pies
Valentine’s Day Cookie Pies Oh, how I love Valentine’s Day! Forget the daily spinach salad and healthy snacks, I’ll be eating chocolate all day long. Since my beautiful daughter is away at college studying, practicing with her team and writing for NPR (so cool!) I asked some friends to bake a Valentine treat with me this year. I ended up with a house full of children. Luckily, they knew what they were doing and stopped me from putting my plastic pie press in the oven. “Wait! That will melt…won’t it?” I pretended like I was just testing them. “Very good! Never put plastic in a four hundred degree oven.” I blame…

VEGAN CHICK’N POTPIE
VEGAN CHICK’N POTPIE A few weeks ago I wrote about a great new cookbook I found – VEGAN COOKING FOR CARNIVORES, by Roberto Martin Arielle came home from college for a month and Eric decided it was time we learned how to cook. Not really. Arielle and I have always loved cooking recipes for this blog. It’s what we do. Since she’s training hard at school for her marathons we thought we better find some healthier recipes. We started with wild mushroom tomato sauce. It was delicious! However, I got in a bit of trouble because I posted the pictures of our delicious dinner without posting the recipe. Sorry! I wanted everyone to…

Wild Mushroom Tomato Sauce
Wild Mushroom Tomato Sauce I bought a new cookbook. Couldn’t resist it had such a catchy title. VEGAN COOKING FOR CARNIVORES by Roberto Martin Arielle had the honor of choosing the first meal. Wild mushroom tomato sauce over pasta. Luckily, Eric decided to help us. I believe Arielle’s words were, “Let’s just face it. We can’t cook.” We began with Eric insisting I read through the entire recipe. I have a habit of jumping right in and then realizing I’m missing some ingredients. Not good. Eric started chopping, Arielle stirred, and guess what I did? Took pictures! It’s my favorite part of cooking. Oh, I also grew these basil plants. People laughed at me…
