Cranberry Barbecue Beef Oven Stew + Socca
I was so excited to drive out to the mountains for a lunch at Iron Goat Pub and Grill that I completely forgot my camera. [Makes for a great excuse to return!] I was so excited to have the gluten free fries and chicken wings, that I forgot to sprinkle salt on top. I was…
Pumpkin Pie Quinoa Breakfast Casserole
Nothing says I love you like a bouquet of flowers just after you’ve told your girlfriend she is no longer allowed to bring liquids into your car. Kevin was away on business this past week. He drives a much nicer car than me. One could argue that the only reason his is better is because…
Lovers Chocolate Raspberry Quinoa Cake
I’ve never done this much Valentine’s Day baking in my life. This easily surpasses what I did at Christmas. Something you should know about me – I have a tendency to go overboard on everything, including themed events. But I can now say with 100% confidence, this is the last new 2011 Valentine’s recipe I’ll…

Rosy Love Potion
Kevin gets back from his trip to the UK tomorrow. First thing I plan on doing is giving him a big hug and kiss [common’ we’re all adults here!]. Next, I’ll tell him I’ve renamed myself to Rosy Love Potion. Okay, maybe that’s a bit out there. But you have to agree it would make…
Rib Sticking Cream of Potato Dill Soup
The adventure of the pureed soups continue. I love pureeing because: Pureed foods share healthful commonalities with smoothies. Pureed soups warm you up quickly. Almost anything you puree tastes fantastic and is easy to make. You can freeze pureed foods and eat them later. I have a vitamix. I know, you can puree with other…
Dipped Rose Shortbread Cookies
I may or may not have gone overboard on Valentine’s Day recipes. It kinda just… happened. I lost myself for 5 hours baking on Saturday. When I bake, I taste, I experiment, I taste some more… I made over 6 different things 1-2 times each. That’s a lot of taste testing in 5 hours. I…
Sleepy Banana Muffin Smoothie
I’ve been making smoothies everyday for breakfast for the last 3.5 years. I even brought my VitaMix with me to Portugal on a business trip, just so I wouldn’t miss out on my breakfast tradition. Commitment? Or fear that I wouldn’t know how to ask for a smoothie in Portuguese? We’ll never know. My smoothie…
Sweet Nibbly Bits Yam Salad
Here I go, craving salads again. I may be in denial that winter is still among us. Just this morning I had a strong urge to get up early, throw on my running shoes, strap on my Garmin, and run down the country roads around our house. Problem is – as beautiful a run that…
Runners Repair Cookies
Something you don’t know about me… I was once training to become a body builder. It was a shortly lived dream though. The man I was seeing at the time didn’t like the muscles I was growing, so at his request, I stopped. Lesson: never stop pursuing your dreams for someone else, especially over something…
