I've mentioned it before but we love breakfast for dinner! I enjoy making quiche and this was a new variety for me. I loved the potato crust and it could have been better, but need to get a mandoline to make thinner slices of potato for the crust. I added tomato, mushrooms and asparagus to… Continue reading Potato Crusted Quiche
Welcome to the December reveal of The Secret Recipe Club! My assignment this month was Cafe Lynnylu. I'm always intrigued by Lynne's recipes as they're unique and something that is usually outside of my comfort zone, which is something I love about the Secret Recipe Club. It forces me to pick a recipe that pushes… Continue reading Chocolate Orange Sugar Yeast Cookies – The Secret Recipe Club

This is my new favorite granola! This granola is healthier than some varieties of made before but it's going to be my go to base from now on. I also loved the crunch the quinoa added. We enjoyed it both over yogurt and as cereal in a bowl of milk. It would make a great… Continue reading Crunchy Quinoa Granola

This is my first time making a tart and I'd say it was successful. It almost didn't go work out though. I thought I had a tart pan but instead they were torte pans. Hmm...so I had to improvise and I just used an 8" round cake pan. It all worked out and the tart… Continue reading Orange Ricotta Tart
I know, it sounds like an unusual combination but it's really good. It was very filling and full of good stuff and I made it vegan...until I sprinkled some cheese on it. Cooper and I loved it, but Madeline and Ross were just eh on it. They ate it but I know it wasn't something… Continue reading Sweet Potato, Black Bean & Quinoa Chili
I rarely make meatloaf. I'm not sure why, it's just something I don't think about making when I'm putting together our weekly menus. I was searching Pinterest for inspiration last week and stumbled across a picture of this meatloaf....and onto our weekly menu it went. I had all the ingredients in my kitchen so I… Continue reading Meatloaf Parmesan
Who doesn't love Chinese food? I love that we have the option to make it at home and even though it's not what Madeline considers Chinese food, it was a great dinner and even better for lunch the next day. I love the addition of the honey roasted cashews, it added just the right about… Continue reading Orange Barbecue Cashew Chicken
I had a not so great day the other day and needed a pick me up and these muffins did exactly that...plus it allowed me use up two over-ripe bananas. Yes once again I found myself with over-ripe bananas. My little man has been eating bananas like crazy and they don't last long around the… Continue reading Double Chocolate Banana Muffins
