The first time I tried to make calzones at home, it was an epic failure. A tasty failure, but a failure nonetheless.* Since then, I haven’t been able to get calzones out of my head, as I can’t let a failed recipe lie. Many months later, I decided to tackle them once again. And this time, I’m proud to say, they were a delicious success. Before I share the recipe, I want to share some of the reasons I love calzones: 1. Like pasta, eggs, rice or other grains such as farro and quiona, you can custom make

I live in Brooklyn, which means that the winters are long and cold and the local winter produce leaves something to be desired. My family and I do enjoy beets, carrots, parsnips and potatoes, which are all available during the cold months. But by early spring, I’m itching for something fresh and different. Recently, when I was at my local farmers market I saw that one of the farms I really love, Migliorelli Farm, was selling their frozen corn. Corn? Summer flavor? Aw, yeah! I was looking forward to making something new and different with the pound of corn that

Having a few cups of shredded, unsweetened coconut in my pantry has inspired me to experiment with it and mix-up some of my recipes to include shredded coconut. Around here, we’ve been going cuckoo for coconut the last few weeks. And below are the results. Enjoy! A few months ago, I shared my original recipe for whole wheat banana bread. Below is a variation on my recipe using shredded coconut and coconut oil. One bit of advice: unless you live somewhere warm, the coconut oil will likely be in solid form in the jar. You have to measure it

A few months ago, I shared my original recipe for whole wheat banana bread. Below is a variation on my recipe using shredded coconut and coconut oil. One bit of advice: unless you live somewhere warm, the coconut oil will likely be in solid form in the jar. You have to measure it out and then heat it up in order to add it to the recipe*. I did this by heating it in a small dish in the microwave for around 20 seconds in order to melt it into liquid form. But then I made the mistake of adding

I don’t usually make omelets for a couple of reasons. First, I’m lazy and don’t always have the patience to make them properly-hence why I default to frittatas. Second, I always, always, always mess up the flip and they become less of am omelet and more of a ugly mess of eggs, cheese and vegetables. But, now that I have the OXO Good Grips Flip & Fold Omelet Turner, I was inspired to try again. I used the vegetables and cheese I had on hand but you can obviously customize it to your preferences. And I see no reason

A few months ago I found out about the OXO brand Blogger Outreach Program which partners bloggers with OXO to get the word out about new products and ideas. Since I love their products, I promptly signed up to work with them. Then a couple of weeks ago I got an email from OXO telling me that teeny tiny foodie had been selected as one of the blogs to test out some new egg-related cooking tools they’ve created. I pretty much skipped around the rest of that day. The other day, Eliana and I came home and saw

Guess what? teeny tiny foodie was chosen to test out some new egg-prepping tools that OXO created! Woohoo! So I’m going to go work on a recipe redux for the original vegetable and cheese strata recipe right now! I’m thinking roasted vegetables I already have in the fridge, some left over whole wheat baguette and ends of sliced bread, eggs (duh) and, of course, cheese. YUM! Stay tuned for the revised recipe coming soon! Now it’s time to go get crackin’ in the kitchen! Related Posts:Just So We're ClearGo Forth, Young EaterThere's No Place Like HomeBasic Vegetable

How do (toddler) wonders never cease? After a few months of politely (and sometimes not politely) declining to eat a banana, this week Eliana started to voluntarily eat bananas again. While she never stopped eating them when they were mashed up and hidden in foods like banana bread or oatmeal she had been flat out refusing them on their own. This was super frustrating because for nearly her first year of eating solid foods, she devoured bananas whenever they were offered to her. A photo from February 2012: As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, when a your little
