Recently I professed my first trials of what seems to be the most popular new food among healthy bloggers, kabocha squash. This hearty winter squash is sold with the others ... acorn, butter
In honor of our current U.S. Mills Organic Breakfast Giveaway (see that post to enter to win now), I whipped up a deliciously easy and indulgent entree using the Erewhon Organic Corn Flakes
I have been so impressed with how well our herb plant not only survived our recent move to a cooler climate, but also how much it is thriving. Must be all of the great sun it is getting in our ve
Recently, I stumbled across the idea of Cauliflower “Rice” on a Paleo / Primal Diet blog. Smitten by this idea for incorporating even more veggies into my dinner (and sneaking cauliflower
Ravenous and cold after a long drive, my husband and I headed for the very petite hot food case in the grocery deli of a small town. We discoverd two pulled pork sandwiches that appeared loaded w
Since my last Dutch Baby venture was such a dee-licious success, I set out to create a savory version the other day. But, I couldn't stop with that one challenge alone. Oh no, silly me&n
I wasn’t sure about featuring an ice cream recipe as we are heading into fall, especially since I still want to tinker with this one a bit, and I had already packed my ice cream scoop (no photo
Two weeks ago, I was in the kitchen, experimenting yet again. I have been in constant pursuit of the perfect Thai Lettuce Wraps. It was my fifth round of attempts (yes, I said fifth). All prior r
Do you find your tastes migrating as the summer heat dwindles? I mean, I know I will be craving hearty soups and pumpkin goodies very soon, but even my salad desires are slowly drifting. Since we will
For years my husband has picked through stir fries leaving a pile of carrots neatly on the side of his plate, which I eventually end up nabbing with my chopsticks to avoid any waste (okay, I
In speaking with Betsy Karetnick of Martha Stewart Living's Everyday Food, the topic of eggs came up. For most dairy-free foodies (aside from vegans or those with an egg allergy), eggs are not a p
Our Frugal Foodie Friday feature has traditionally showcased recipes. Though we will still continue to post low-cost recipes, it seemed only fitting to also offer tips and deals during these tough eco
As mentioned before, I seek out deals wherever they may be ... and if that means shopping for groceries online, so be it. But this month, I was rather blown away by all of the dairy-free (and in many
You may have noticed my recent obsession with salads and homemade salad dressings since early summer. First came the Sweet and Tangy Non-Fat Curry Vinaigrette, followed quickly by the Scrumptious Sesa
One of my biggest frustrations with dairy-free living used to be veggie burgers. Either they had some sneaky cheese hidden within or were soy burgers attempting to mimic the beefy versions. I don
This month on Taste & Create, a blog event where you choose a recipe to make from your given partner's website, I was paired up with Divya Vikram of the blog Dil Se. Though her baked brea
To beat the dog days of summer, I whipped up a big pitcher of Watermelon Lemonade! I seem to be in a bit of a watermelon frenzy, since it is on for such a great price, and since it is so darn ref
As I looked around for ideas to use up some organic apples that I found in the discount bin (still nice and firm, but begging to be turned into a baked goodie!), I came across oodles of reci
What could be more frugal than an in-season (and consequently on sale) fruit-based recipe? And what could be more refreshing on an Independence Day weekend (or any old hot summer day for that matter)
I am revisiting an oldy-but-goody from my blog for this Frugal Friday for a few good reasons. First off, it is summer, and I love quick and easy stove-top recipes that are fairly light and won't r
Yes, another salad dressing. It is summer after all, aaaaand they are just too easy and delicious not to share! Besides, fitting in that big bowl of greens is so much tastier when you have so many won
Faced with a full pantry and a bare-bones fridge, I had to do some quick thinking for our next meal that we were quickly growing hungry for. Out came the tomatoes, olives, and pasta, but a plain
Quite the claim, I know. And while it may or may not be true, this meal is unbelievably simple and very food allergy-friendly. My husband quite literally threw this dish together one night when we wer
Last week our favorite “farmers” market (a grocery store, but focused on produce, bulk foods, fresh items, etc.) had boneless, skinless chicken breasts on for $1.67 per lb. Since we are us
Here we are, embarking on one of the most glorious three-day weekends of the year. Memorial Day weekend stands for so much, but I can't help but dwell on its symbolism as the unofficial beginning
In my continued quest for some breakfast foods that will keep us going in the morning rather than weighing us down, I came across the idea of using some of that ground turkey I keep on hand to ma
How to get enough protein is a question I get by so many people. Whether fitness buffs, bodybuilders, or moms concerned about growing kids, protein is an essential need, and milk products can be a qui
Actually, this little dish isn’t sinful at all, but that title just sounds so good doesn’t it? Well, this Scrumptious Cinnamon Apple Sauté does produce tender, juicy apple
It was 15 minutes to dinner, and I needed something to go with two salmon filets. Since I was craving some carbs, and it was a little too late to whip up a batch of bread or cook brown rice, 
Is there such a thing as too much broccoli? No seriously. The fact that I ate half a pound of broccoli in one sitting doesn’t indicate that I have a problem does it? Perhaps I have a sligh
