Thank you all for the encouraging words last week… I’m gradually get out of my blogging slump, and along with that, I have been making healthier meals! I’ve managed to get back on track this week and made quite a few healthy meals and snacks. I’ve managed to stay on track with my workouts, too!…

Tiramisu (Daring Bakers February)
The February 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Aparna of My Diverse Kitchen and Deeba of Passionate About Baking. They chose Tiramisu as the challenge for the month. Their challenge recipe is based on recipes from The Washington Post, Cordon Bleu at Home and Baking Obsession. I love Tiramisu. Love it. So, I was…
Caramelized Onion and Zucchini Frittata
Don’t you just love frittatas? They are one of my go-to meals for two reasons… Making a frittata is not only quick and easy (and a dinner that I can manage even on the busiest nights), but it is also a great way to use up leftover veggies and other odds and ends that are…
Healthy (Vegan) Chai Spiced Pumpkin Muffins
You may think that pumpkin is only for the fall, but I could eat pumpkin all year long. I made lots of my own pumpkin puree with the fresh pumpkins from our CSA this fall, and stocked up on a few extra cans, too… Just in case! I’ve been on a bit of a quest…
Roasted Winter Vegetables with Goat Cheese
One of the dishes I was served by Chef April Bloomfield at the Spotted Pig on my trip to NYC was a wonderful root vegetable soup. The soup she prepared was simple, but very flavorful, allowing the flavor of vegetables to stand out. Ever since, I have been in the mood to experiment with root vegetables….
Thanks a Bunch (Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookies)
Who would have known that giving away decorated cookies would turn into a minor baking crisis? It’s not like I’ve never made cookies before… Far from it! If you read my blog (or follow me on Twitter), you have probably figured out that I’m not a chef. I haven’t had any formal culinary training, and…
Ten in 10 – Weeks 6 and 7 Update
I have to be honest and say that I’m still not really in the mood to write… I considered skipping this Ten in 10 update entirely when I remembered that I had skipped last week’s update. #10in10 FAIL! So, it is under self-inflicted duress that I am writing this post. How’s that for an intro?…
Friday Favorites – Episode 43
I have to admit that I’ve been feeling like I’m in a bit of a blogging slump again lately. I seem to have lost some steam since my trip to NYC. As a result, I’m not feeling especially “wordy” as I write this week’s Friday Favorites. So, let’s get right down to business… The first order…
Cinnamon Stuffed Scones
I have been craving scones for a while now. Honestly, I’m not sure why I didn’t make them sooner. Yesterday, I got up early with great intentions of making doughnuts for Fasnacht Day. The more I thought about deep frying doughnuts and the inevitable mess that would result, the less inspired I felt. So, I…
