(photos coming soon) 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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Potato Eggplant Pancakes Recipe – Meatless Monday
Yesterday, I made some fantastic yummy potato eggplant pancakes for dinner. I don’t always go meatless on Meatless Monday, but we do try to eat meatless one or two dinners per week. The main flavor in these pancakes was obviously potato, I purposely used less eggplant because DH isn’t a fan. I wanted to ease [...]
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: Whole Wheat Rye Sesame Muffins
I haven’t been inspired (or had the time) to make any muffins or quick breads for months. But I’ve been craving desserts, so tonight, I decided to take to heart Michael Pollan’s Food Rule #39: Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself. Which muffin recipe to make? I [...]
Experiment: Whole Wheat, Cornmeal, Barley Sesame Seed Bread
I love experimenting with cold fermentation for developing flavorful bread dough. I started a new (for me) bread experiment yesterday, based on the technique of Peter Reinhart’s book “Whole Grain Breads: New Techniques, Extraordinary Flavor“. In the book, Peter advises to mix both a mash and a biga, refrigerate for at least 12 hours, then [...]
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Raisin Muffins – Recipe
I wanted to bake some muffins for my aunt when we visit next week, so I googled recipes for oatmeal raisin muffins, and found this recipe: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/breakfast/recipe-quick-and-homey-oatmeal-raisin-muffins-126095 The author wrote that the recipe was adapted from the More-With-Less Cookbook so I rushed to put a copy on hold at the library to check it out. [...]
Peter Reinhart’s Transitional Whole Wheat Bread – Using a Bread Machine
I’ve been experimenting with bread dough, and have found that a long slow fermentation makes the most flavorful, delicious bread! I experimented with my own recipe, but wanted to keep exploring. I’m all about whole grains, so reading Peter Reinhart’s Whole Grain Breads: New Techniques, Extraordinary Flavor seemed like the next logical step! I’m really [...]
