Zucchini, Banana & Pumpkin Gluten-free Bread
I’ll admit, my husband and I are Starbucks junkies. We try to make coffee at home but it seems to never fail that we take a mid-afternoon coffee break and head over to get an iced coffee or bold with an add shot of espresso. One morning we were running short on time and [...]
Baked Pasta Mash
Every few months when I have a random mismatch of half-full pasta bags in the cupboard I put together a little pasta mash-up. It’s a combination of different pastas, whatever veggies I have in the refrigerator and sometimes I’ll cook up some meat to throw in, like ground beef or turkey. Then I mix it [...]
Toddler Carrot Muffins, or “Baby Cakes”
Our 19 month old is in the midst of yet another teething episode. I’d like to blame his newly (okay, not that new) picky palette on it. I had my best friend over for the weekend and she was snacking on one of those packaged top-only muffins. Ollie wanted some so she gave him a [...]

Perfect Fall Finger Food – Roasted Cinnamon Apples
Roasted apples are the best finger food. And one of the healthiest around. Not only does Oliver love it, I love it too. I even chopped it up and put it into a green salad with balsamic dressing. It’s easy. It’s amazing. Did I mention there’s no added sugar? Yup, just fresh sweet apples sprinkled [...]

Some people might think a “smash” cake is a weird thing to give to a baby – but to be realistic, it’s what a baby does to any sort of food it’s near, they “smash” it, smoosh it, and destroy it before putting it into their little mouths. What I loved about this cake was [...]
