Oh these muffins were fantastic! Surprisingly, rolled oats work well in place of flour in muffins. I also used Bob’s Red Mill 7 Grain hot cereal, but plain oat bran would work fine. Hmm, I also might try 100% rolled oats next time! Muffins made from cereal are a quick & easy way to eat [...]

Bob’s Red Mill Cereal Muffins with Peaches, Strawberries, & Raisins
I love making muffins using Bob’s Red Mill 7 Grain (or 10 grain) hot cereal. They’re similar to oat bran muffins, but so much better! My husband enjoys eating muffins for an easy breakfast-on-the-go, and I always keep a batch in zip bags in the freezer for him. These muffins are especially great for those [...]
Masa Harina Corn Jalepeno Muffins Recipe
This recipe is slightly inspired from the Cornbread Muffins recipe found on page 124 in the Power Food Cookbook by Rachael Anne Hill and Tamsin Burnett-Hall. I used their recipe as a base, but put my own spin on the ingredients according to what I had on hand. It’s all about adapting to your own [...]
I LOVE Chocolate! But There is a Dark Side!
I love dark chocolate, and it’s so good for you, as long as you’re eating 70% and higher! But there is a secretive dark side to chocolate (no pun intended) and it’s hidden in the form of cheap, overly-available cocoa! Cocoa products are in high demand, but the cocoa “market” demands low prices. To remain [...]
October Unprocessed 2011 – UPDATE Day #8
Day #8 for the October Unprocessed 2011 challenge over at the Eating Rules blog. It’s been going very well, maybe a tiny flub or two at the beginning, but for the most part, I’m going strong! I was already a fairly “clean” eater but participating in this challenge has forced me to look even deeper [...]
October Unprocessed 2011 Some Considerations
I’ve been reading the Eating Rules blog trying to organize my pantry and fridge for the upcoming challenge to give up all processed foods for the month of October. So here are a few of my challenges and concessions. Chocolate So many natural brands contain either soy lecithin, sugar or both. I’ve been working on [...]
Dastardly Donut
Ugh, the dastardly donut got me today at lunch. I was visiting DH and we ate lunch together in his work lunchroom, and there was a box of Dunkin Donuts that another co-worker brought in that morning. Of course, DH had to open it, and there were just a few left, all jelly filled. I [...]
Pretzels
This is why I don’t buy pretzels and other non nutritious snacks. I can’t stop eating them! We’ve been on vacation this week, and we stopped for a snack after ATVing and against my better judgement, I was coerced into buying a 1 lb bag of pretzel sticks. Let me tell you these things are [...]

Whole Foods Market is having a one day sale on Friday, August 19, for organic cantaloupes – 2 for $3 I wasn’t planning on shopping on Friday, but I think I might have to now.
Vacation! ATV Padding, Sugar Overload, & Fun
I haven’t officially weighed-in after coming back from our week-long vacation to the Moosehead Lake area of Maine, but I’m confident I haven’t gained anything permanent. We had a really great time, the campground was on the ATV trail, so we could ride directly from the campground. Because of my weight loss, my back is [...]
