Pumpkin-Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe is two years in the making. I’ve tried modifying several recipes to fit out diet, but none have been as good as these. I posted these last June, which were delicious, but not extremely pretty. I think this new recipe is both! Plus? PUMPKIN! These can be made ahead of time too and … Read more
(Whole Food) Spooky Snacks
These were super easy to make, and my kids thought they were hilarious instead of really spooky. They’re winners because they actually ate them! See for yourself. I made these snacks in about 10 minutes. The carrots take the longest, but had I done them in assembly-line fashion rather than each individual one at a … Read more
Breakfast Granola Cookies
I can’t believe I am inside baking!!! The girls are out in the wading pool for the first time, and we have opened the windows and turned on the whole-house fan. It’s not quite yet a million degrees in here, and certainly doesn’t feel anything like it does in late August when we are canning, … Read more
Bean n Cheese Burgers
Sorry about the poor food staging and photo– we were anxious to dig into these! The girls and I loved these, and they are a one-bowl dish (plus a skillet.) I purposefully made them on a night when Twig wasn’t home, since they are vegetarian and he is anything but! I knew he would be … Read more
Cut-out Biscuits
Mmmm these are absolutely as delicious as they look AND the dough is really fun to play with- like “real” dough! They are a tad bit more crumbly than biscuits that contain gluten, but VERY satisfying! We have been making these for a few months now, and each time I change a thing or two, … Read more
Quiche Quiche
I love food best when it is exactly like this. These mini quiches fit the bill for being quick, easy, beautiful, nutritious, one-bowl, filling, versatile, and best of all, portable! And as a bonus (this is turning into an infomercial!,) they are freeze-able as well. Both girls loved these, and Goose requested more tomorrow with … Read more
Chocolate Chia Pudding
Chia is all the rage right now, apparently. There are recipes galore for chia puddings out there, but I haven’t seen any that are smooth. Since the texture of chia seeds in a gelled liquid isn’t appealing to me, I thought I would try blasting them with some milk in the blender and making a … Read more
Spaghetti O’Soup
Who says food that is good for you can’t taste as good as packaged convenience foods? This is a dead ringer for a childhood favorite. Inspired by Iowa Girl Eats, I modified the recipe to make it work for our diet, and made my own meatballs to boot. This comes together very quickly, and even … Read more
