Quinoa Raspberry Muffins
|
June 18, 2013 Quinoa seems to be everywhere these days. It’s on the foodie trend path faster than chocolate dipped bacon sprinkled with fairy farts and even bigger than a Kardashian made for tv drama – ugh I mean wedding. In the past I haven’t posted many quinoa recipes because no one was really interested back then. Remember quinoa sweet potato burgers with sweet snow pea slaw from years ago? Yeah, didn’t think so – but you should because they’re pretty delish in my opinion. With it’s perfect balance of carbs and protein, quinoa’s a great choice to add to your family’s diet …
Red, White, and Blue Popsicles
|
June 13, 2013 Every now and then I’ll post a recipe that I’ve written for someone else because it’s one of those I don’t want you to miss. This is one of those occasions. Usually, yogurt popsicles come out a little uh…ahhh…uh..how do I say this polietly… well they taste healthy. I don’t know if it’s because this year’s organic berry season is supper sweet and fresh or what, but the mixture of honey yogurt and fruit purees in these red, white, and blue pops is a sweet and perfect combination to beat the summer heat!
Blackberry Mint Lime Fruit Leather

June 11, 2013 I love summer – not because of the ridiculous heat but because of the fruit. My name’s Meredith and I’m a berry-aholic.
Burrata with White Wine and Garlic Sautéed Tomatoes

May 28, 2013 In Once Upon A Time time, I was in the land of Chicago, ever heard of it? I was there for a whopping two days and most of those days I was working. But on one fateful night I was able to venture out a whole two blocks from my hotel room. Of course, I got lost because this Texas girl did not understand the whole street on top of another street thing they’ve got going on there. Thankfully, I found my way to a fabulous restaurant, The Purple Pig. I was not alone that night as two amazing ladies …
Neiman Marcus Popovers with Strawberry Butter
|
May 11, 2013 There’s a woman I must tell you about. Now, you probably don’t know her but you should. Because just knowing her makes you a better person. She has taught me to be brave in situations that I think I can’t handle, to love when it seems impossible to, to give until there’s nothing left to give, and to be strong during the toughest storms. She has the biggest heart I’ve ever seen and I am thankful everyday that I have her in my life. She is my mom.
Crunchy Baked Asparagus Fries with Lemon Herb Sriracha Dip

April 26, 2013 In all of this tragedy lately with the bombings at the Boston Marathon and the horrifying explosion in West, Texas it’s been hard to stay positive. I woke up last week with this poem in my head and it’s been stuck in there ever since. I’m thankful for it because it keeps me smiling. Wish you all the best and thanks for hanging around with me and my sock monkey slippers in the kitchen through the years. Cheers.
Mango Honey Fruit Leather

April 25, 2013 As a kid, fruit leather was one of my favorite snacks and now I laugh when I see my daughter have so much fun eating it with her hands. She begs to have one in her daily lunch box and I don’t mind giving it to her because it’s a great all-natural fruity treat. Sweet and tangy, this recipe is simple to create and a perfect one to make with kids!
Havarti Dill Crackers
|
April 19, 2013 Crackers — little round parcels of cheesy goodness that practically everyone loves. Have you ever had a homemade cracker? It’s a thousand times better than in the box. Just like a real pine tree smells better than the one hanging from your rear view mirror. What? You don’t have a pine tree hanging from your mirror? Ok, then lets compare the greatness of homemade crackers to celebrities. A homemade cracker is like Jennifer Aniston and a box cracker is like Kim Kardashian. One is real and the other is fake and just might cause you to lose brain cells if …
Cheese Stuffed Pretzel Bites with Rosemary Salt
|
April 12, 2013 First of all this day has been good. The sun is shining, weather’s perfect, the dog didn’t eat the cat, it’s payday, and I was nominated for The SAVEUR Best Food Blog Awards (Best Kid’s Cooking Blog – go vote)! Snow White and her seven weird dwarfs couldn’t have written a better day. Well, I guess it could always be a little better. Chef Eric Ripert and his sexy self could be in my kitchen cooking me a fabulous dinner shirtless but considering that would probably never happen — I’ll take today with a smile.
