So I’m at it again. My dear pregnant friend visiting from another island is here for a few days and of course she loves pancakes. So I decided Blueberry Chia Almond Essence pancakes were on the menu. It was, it did and it will always be heavenly! Here’s all you do: Blueberry Chia Pancakes 2…

Love eggs. Love avocados. Match almost made in heaven. Saw this from “The Wicked Noodle” blog (Darling blog by Kristy Bernardo do stop by and check her out….Darling) and had to give it a try. I didn’t have limes but thought the lemon might be a simple substitute. And of course the sriracha gives this…

I love spinach. Really love spinach. Wish I could say that I have loved it all my life long, but it’s one of those veggies that as an adult I can’t get enough of. Sadly it is also one of the most pesticide ridden veggies, but I have grown my own and it is easy…

I was making my wonderful pear cake again when all of a sudden I thought “Why don’t I use almond extract instead of vanilla extract?” Oh, why had I not thought of that sooner. So while I added this in only at the second hour, so to speak, exchanged one teaspoon of vanilla for one…

It was a day for “death by chocolate” and these don’t come along too often. We were busy making, baking, and taking photos of the gorgeous snowfall that finally came (and went) this weekend. Absolutely gorgeous. So of course, brownies came to mind. I was short on unsweetened chocolate cocoa powder and long on unsweetened…

I bought some red cabbage. It’s the season, right? So, now what do I do with it? And eventually I found something. I wanted “raw” and really healthy good for you. Needed to be yummy too, without indulgent ingredients.  There were plenty over cooked and full of decadent cheeses and nuts recipes, etc out there…

I rarely make pancakes, but I made a pumpkin bread this week and had some puree left over.  Thought a great idea would be pumpkin pancakes. I found this recipe online and doctored it a bit and was NOT disappointed. As a matter of fact, I am craving them again this morning. Didn’t get the…
