Typically, #WeCookWednesday is a day where Eliana and I cook something Eliana wants to cook. But, on this particularly Wednesday, she didn’t have anything she wanted to cook. I, however, was really excited to try out a new recipe for granola that had been rattling around in my head so I suggested to her that we make granola. Eliana is a big fan of granola, so she agreed to let me dictate the recipe that week. (Whew!) We did something a little different for this recipe. Before we began cooking, Eliana saw me writing out the ingredients and she wanted

I love guacamole for a few reasons: 1. First, avocados are super good for you. Even though they have a bad reputation for being fatty, they are actually full of “good fats”. And avocados promote heart health, have anti-inflammatory benefits, help regulate blood sugar, and are filled with nutrients. 2. Second, you can easily customize the recipe for guacamole to your liking by adding more or less of any ingredient based on your particular taste. 3. Third, guacamole is a tasty snack all by itself or a delicious addition to eggs, sandwiches, nachos or quesadillas. Eliana and I recently made

I like to have fun in the kitchen. But I especially like to play around with recipes for muffins by adding various fruits, vegetables, herbs, seeds and whole grains to the mix. Literally. It’s a fun culinary challenge to come up with different, sometimes wacky and unexpected, flavor combinations. For this recipe, though, I wanted to create something simpler, using the bare minimum of ingredients necessary to create a muffin. These Straight Up Strawberry Muffins are delicious, easy to make alone or with the help of your teeny tiny sous chef and…they have less than 1 teaspoon of sugar per

Over the last several weeks, we’ve been on an avocado kick in the teeny tiny foodie home. Avocados are delicious and are really good for you, though they can have a bad reputation because they are high in fat. However, they are full of good fats, as well as numerous vitamins, minerals and nutrients that provide many health benefits for the whole family. For example, avocados are filled with folate, which is a vitamin that promotes healthy cell and tissue development. This means it is an especially great addition to the diet of a pregnant mama, nursing mama, baby or

Last week, Eliana and I were given a private tour of the Gotham Greens rooftop greenhouse located atop Whole Foods Market in Brooklyn. It was amazing!!! Stay tuned because I’m going to tell you all about that unique experience in a forthcoming post. But for now, I’m going to share a yummy new recipe Eliana and I made using their Baby Kale Medley– just one of the delicious products we took home with us to play with in the kitchen. This week’s Monday Meal, Shaved Apple & Baby Kale Salad, uses locatelli cheese (or “Kelly Cheese” as Eliana calls it)

I love traditional hummus. I think it’s a great, easy dish to prepare for a meal or a snack. But, what to do if you’re hankering for hummus and have no chickpeas in the pantry? Well, when I found myself in that exact situation I decided to use beans that I had on hand, which happened to be white beans. I also happened to have a little bit of baby spinach leftover and since I love to throw green leafy goodness into all sorts of recipes, I decided to add it to the food processor to see what would happen

Did you know that there is a delicious, creamy, luscious, dessert that isn’t packed with sugar? Sugar-Free Banana “Ice Cream” has no added sugar and is completely delectable. As if bananas aren’t tasty enough on their own, the simple act of freezing them ramps up their sweetness to a whole new level. Blend those frozen bananas with a little milk or unsweetened coconut water and you get a deliciously creamy frozen banana treat that’s full of flavor without any added sugar. If you’re taking the Fed Up Challenge but still want to enjoy a sweet treat, this luscious delight stays

Last year around this time, I shared a post full of ranting about the craziness regarding traveling with an 18-month old, along with some suggestions for survival. Click here to read that original post. I’m a list maker. I have tons of legal pads filled with all sorts of lists. Lists of recipes in progress, lists of things to remember or do and most of all I have packing lists. My packing list is totally crazy and OCD filled and contains things like “this notepad” because I might implode if I didn’t bring the current legal pad onto which I’m

This vegan soup is a tasty and satisfying meal all on it’s own. I like to serve it topped with croutons, roasted pumpkin seeds or lightly salted popcorn.* Sometimes I even mix in some chunks of seared tofu, too. This seasonal soup can be a delicious addition to your Thanksgiving table, too. (It will be one of my contributions to my family’s dinner table). Before the recipe, there are a couple tips and ideas I want to share with you. 1. Don’t be afraid of salt. Unless I’m following a new recipe, baking or refining one I haven’t yet perfected,
