Yesterday, we drove to the Brookline Winter Farmers Market located in the Arcade building (318 Harvard Street). It’s a small, but effective market. A little bit of everything you need. The vendors I noticed were two veggie farms, a hydroponic farm, a meat farm, a seafood vendor, plus bread, cupcakes and popovers. The reason we [...]

Oatmeal/7 Grain Chia Raisin Walnut Muffins
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 [...]

October Unprocessed 2011 – NO Processed Food for One Month
I stumbled on the October Unprocessed 2011 over on the EatingRules.com blog and it seems like a good challenge to try. For the most part, I don’t eat processed food, but yes, there are times when a few items sneak in…like a subway sub or some birthday cake from the grocery store. His definition of [...]
Whole Wheat Bread is Full of Sugar!
No wonder people on “diets” give up bread! Commercial whole wheat bread is loaded with refined sugar! I only baked two very small loaves of bread for our vacation, so I figured I’d pick up a loaf if needed at the local store while we were away. Stopping at a little local grocery/convenience store, I [...]
Pondering Toast vs Bread Calories
A few weeks ago, I was wondering if my toast had less calories than bread. I googled, and duh, of course the calories are the same, they are just calculated differently. For instance, before toasting, my serving of bread was 2.5 oz, after it’s turned to toast, the weight was reduced to 1.6 oz – [...]
Recipe: Homemade Low Sugar Granola with Oats, Pecans, & Coconut
I made a batch of homemade lower sugar granola for my dad for Father’s Day, based on a recipe I found for “Sugar Free Granola” on allRecipes.com – it’s not necessarily “sugar free” but her recipe contains no added refined sugars. The granola did get sweetness from dates and apple juice. I do not drink [...]
