let's just state the obvious: pancakes are always a good idea. especially when you're craving breakfast for dinner and double especially when they are grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and full of protein. and did i mention they only require two, yes TWO ingredients? eat your heart out, ihop. 2 good to 2 be true 2-ingredient pancakes (adapted from the skinny confidential blog) ingredients: 1 ripe banana 2 eggs dash ...
as we've established from the shredded brussels sprouts & kale salad post, and many previous other allusions, too, serving sizes are completely lost on me. which, when you're consuming a bunch of greens isn't a big deal, but when you're consuming, say, cookies or a mock version of dairy queen's infamous "blizzard" frozen treat, could ...
after my recent pizza-assembling adventures, i have felt inspired to continue my pursuits in appeasing my ever-present italian cravings. enter pinterest and the gals from the amazing diy blog, a beautiful mess. having seen this recipe floating around the blogosphere, and given my intense love for all things spaghetti squash, i was excited to translate it from ...
don't look now but kale and brussels sprouts have been having "the best year ever" for what seems like three years now. kale makes its presence known in every smoothie and brussels sprouts are a side dish on every hipster restaurant's menu. being a big fan of both varieties of rabbit food, it's nice to ...
around this time of year growing up, my mom and i would begin to draft our game plan for operation christmas cookie. we'd select about five or six different types of confectionery creations -magic bars, emma's bark, something non-traditional like a rice krispie treat, and of course, the traditional chocolate chip. then on a december ...
if you're not familiar with acai (pronounced "ah-sigh-eeee"), it's basically a really powerful berry. personally, i like to picture it like a blueberry with biceps (can't you see it?). anyway, acai is like a big thing in san diego. i think it's all the yogis and health freaks that populate our town (myself included). and ...
one of my most favorite things about this time of year is the fact that spaghetti squash is regularly sold at trader joe's. i mean, you can totally buy it at sprouts pretty much year round, but there's just something about the fact that it's a "seasonal" item at tj's that makes it special. anyway, ...
so i'm thinking of starting a new series called "recreate what i ate." actually, i'm not thinking about it, i'm doing it. so here's the first one. remember the kale-tahini salad i raved about from adama in santa barbara? well, i wasn't kidding when i said i wanted to recreate it stat. so this past weekend, i ...
the debate between the humble yam and sweet potato has plagued generations for decades (i'm making this up, i have no idea if that's true). to be honest, i think most of the time i use yams for sweet potato-sanctioned recipes. so perhaps this recipe is bit of a misnomer, it should really say "roasted yams ...
okay i know what you're thinking. if i see one more brussels sprouts recipe on this site, i'm going to scream! enough with the brussels, shawna. i know, i know. how much more can we do with this tiny cabbage anyway? well, you can add butter. and bacon. oh and then maple syrup. that's what you can do. i'm not sure how ...
