PediaSure SideKicks – Who Feeds This Stuff to Their Kids?

I saw a TV ad for PediaSure Sidekicks last night. I’m sure it’s been on a million times, but this time I really paid attention. http://pediasure.com/kid-nutrition-products/sidekicks-commercial Two moms were watching their kids play soccer on the field, and one mom says that her son is sluggish and maybe they shouldn’t have stopped off at the [...]

Green Valley Organic Lacose Free Yogurt

I’ve been buying Green Valley Organic Yogurt for a couple of weeks now, and I just love it. First, most importantly, it’s delicious! I’ve tried the blueberry, strawberry, and honey. Honey is okay, but the fruit flavors are very good. I really need to buy some vanilla and create my own flavors with frozen berries, [...]

Recipe: Ginger Lemon Muffins (Made with Fresh Ginger)

UPDATED 2011-05-11 These ginger lemon muffins were a big hit! They are light, healthy, and bursting with fresh zesty ginger flavor! The fresh ginger requires a bit more work, but it’s worth it!

Applegate Farms Uncured Organic Sunday Bacon

I admit, I love bacon. No, it’s not something that I eat every day, but hey, once every week or two, it’s a savory splurge! I never buy cured bacon, with the added nitrates, so I always look for a natural uncured brand. I’ve tried the Whole Foods 365 brand, which was good, but I [...]

Who Says Breakfast Has to Be Sweet?

I usually add a tsp of raw honey to my steel oats for breakfast, but this morning, I decided to try something different. Two tsp of olive oil added to my steel oats, and I am LOVING IT! Yum! Nice change!

Kashi Go Lean Cereal Offers as Much Protein as Egg

I’ve been constantly seeing the new commercial from Kashi bragging that their cereal offers as much protein as an egg. Come on! Do people really believe that the “soy protein concentrate” in Kashi cereal would be equal in quality to the protein in real food like an egg? Since Kashi is owned by Kellogg’s, somehow [...]

Scrambled Eggs in Cast Iron

It’s really awesome cooking eggs in cast iron! Actually better than non-stick. A little bit o’ heart healthy olive oil in a hot pan and the eggs cook up wonderfully. And clean up is a breeze. I don’t think I’ll be using my non-stick pan for eggs anymore!

Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

I found the book Muffins & Quick Breads (Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library) at the library a few weeks ago and after browsing through the many recipes, I found so many that I was excited to try! A lot of the recipes were lower in sugar, and that was even better. I searched for it on Amazon [...]

Whole Grain Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Muffins

UPDATED 2011-07-14 This recipe is inspired by the “Peanut Butter Bread” recipe found in Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook: The Best Recipes from Southampton’s Favorite Bakery. I altered the sugar quantity, added dark chocolate & sunflowers, and of course replaced the white flour with whole grains (whole wheat and barley flours).

Whole Wheat Oat Bran Raisin Muffins

Baked some yummy healthy muffins this afternoon! I’ve been dying to try some of the recipes from the book Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook: The Best Recipes from Southampton’s Favorite Bakery for Homestyle Cookies, Cakes, Pies, Muffins, and Breads. I found it at the library months ago, and copied a few of the recipes I wanted [...]
