I ate my first orange chocolate chip muffin in New Zealand. It was made by one of our lovely hosts in Mangapai where we slept in an old boat and pooped in a long drop toilet. (But that was probably too much information for you in a post about muffins, huh?) I must have eaten […]
Staying true to my carrot theme this week (if you missed it, check out the recipe for Ultimate Carrot Cake), today I present Carrot Cake Porridge. I always try to have some sort of vegetable in the morning, whether that’s a greens drink, spinach or carrots in my smoothies, or One Pan Eggs & Greens (which […]
Am I taking my muffin obsession a bit too far? Is it sacrilegious to alter such a traditional breakfast food of deliciousness as French toast? Hopefully you don’t think so, because these muffins are way too easy to make and way too tasty to turn down. Trust me. I found this recipe on my friend […]
You guys, breakfast will never be the same. This quinoa porridge has revolutionized my morning meals. No joke. It’s that amazing. Quinoa is one of those ingredients that never ceases to amaze me. This gluten-free seed (not grain) is super high in protein (to keep you full & focused until lunchtime), is ridiculously easy to […]
Are you one of those people who don’t eat breakfast? If you are, I have no idea how you manage to make it more than a couple hours into the day on a regular basis. I knew so many people in college who didn’t let a morsel pass through their lips until at least noon. […]
As far as big companies go, I actually appreciate a lot of things about Whole Foods. Nope, they’re definitely not perfect, but that doesn’t mean I boycott them and stand outside with picket signs (does that really do anything beneficial, anyway? I’m pretty sure the way to hit big companies where it hurts is in […]
Yogurt from the supermarket isn’t good for you. There-I’ve said it. I know what the commercials on television say. Jamie Lee Curtis swears by Dannon yogurt fixing all her digestive woes. These live cultures will boost your immune system and make you live longer. It’s the fountain of youth in an individual serving size cup! […]
It’s muffin time again! With a tree full of lemons and a jar full of chia seeds I couldn’t resist concocting a muffin with a twist on the traditional Lemon Poppy Seed flavors. Poppy seeds are fantastic, but chia seeds are like the ultimate addition to a healthy diet. Check out this nutritional profile: High […]
Whoa baby. I’m back baking muffins! Our current host heard I loved to bake and set me loose in the kitchen with blueberries straight from a friend’s garden. You may know that fresh blueberries are one of my absolute favorite foods, and while I do love standard Blueberry Muffins, I couldn’t bring myself to bake […]
This was my first endeavor with filled muffins. Who knew it was so crazy easy? My husband and I have traveled back to Kerikeri in New Zealand to stay with a naturopath and help them with marketing for their business (Head to Toe Natural Health Clinic). It was so wonderful to walk into the kitchen […]
One of the perks to staying on a farm is all the fresh eggs we can eat. And all the fresh vegetables we can pick from the garden! Right now we are in the far north of New Zealand staying with some great hosts on their farm near 90 Mile Beach. With a day full […]
