Bread and chocolate (Peanut M&M’s, in particular) are two of my favorite things. Not a day goes by that I don’t indulge in one or the either – and in most cases both, but not necessarily together. So when I saw Take a Megabite post a recipe for peanut butter and chocolate swirl bread, I could not resist. Bread with the essence of chocolate and peanuts? Yes, please….
Brown Butter Pecan Cookie Granola
Some say everything is better with butter. I’d argue everything is better with brown butter. OK, well maybe not everything, but a lot of things (pasta, cake, cookies) are. This new cranola creation, inspired by the delicate and crisp pecan sandie, is no exception….
Roasted Vegetable and Wheat Berry Salad
It’s easy to fall into a cooking rut, especially when you’re short on time or have no energy. One way I like to keep my meals fresh is by experimenting with new ingredients, like coconut oil or chia seeds. It’s a good way to discover and try new recipes (whatever will I do with …?), experience new flavors, and expand your culinary repertoire….
Peanut Sugar Morning Buns
I’m a creature of habit. My husband is too. Every Saturday and Sunday, we take a walk to our local Starbucks around 11:30 a.m. And while we’re waiting in line to order our coffees, I’ll often check out the bakery case offerings. I know neither of us will buy anything (why would we when I can bake my own treats?), but it’s fun to take a peek for inspiration….
Roasted Cauliflower Hummus
I’ve never been too fond of cauliflower, but I’m developing a crush on this knobby white plant. It started when I made White on Rice Couple’s sriracha roasted cauliflower a few weeks ago and quickly blossomed after I made this unique and healthy twist on hummus. (My mom gifted me a whole head and so I had to figure out what to do with it.) I’m not a big hummus eater, but I could eat this dip by the spoonful. It’s light and nutty and not at all slimy like most bean dips….
Sesame-Spiced Turkey Meatballs with Chickpea Salad
There are days when I want to spend hours in the kitchen, recreating complicated, multi-step recipes. And then there are days, like this past Sunday, when I don’t want to cook but feel obligated to put food on the table. (After a delicious dinner at Pizzeria Delfina the night before, it was definitely an eat-in kind of evening.)…
