Egg Faux Yung
Have you ever seen the movie Big Night? An early effort from the incomparable Stanley Tucci, the film is notable for its fixation on food and cooking as well as a rare thespian turn from Mr J-Lo himself, Marc Anthony. Set in 1950s suburban America, the plot chronicles two Italian immigrant brothers who are determined to serve […]

Apple Pie Smoothie

This ACD really does spark some unusual culinary adventures! [Quick housekeeping note before today’s post: I’ve been working on updating the blog and […]
Parsnip Mini Loaves or Muffins (with GF option)

It’s the Berries: Stevia-Sweetened, Gluten Free Blueberry-Lemon Muffins
I know; who says things like, “It’s the berries” any more? Okay, well, I admit that I do. I also say “take umbrage” (and said it even before I knew the Harry Potter connection), “just chillaxin’” and, sometimes, “the cat’s pyjamas” (but only when I feel like teasing The Girls). But honestly, this recent revision in my […]

To begin with, if it’s breakfast time, you’re probably rested. Your belly is primed and ready to accept food (after all, you have […]
Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Pudding
Although I consider myself a late bloomer in most areas of my life, there’s one event I experienced long before anyone else in my circle of family and friends: the mid-life crisis. In fact, I got mine over with in my early 20s. I can remember many hours of beer-addled conversation with my beloved mentor in […]
