As far as I'm concerned, for all that the upcoming holiday, Shavuos, lacks in detailed laws, it makes up for it in delicious foods. I'll take a buttery, broiled filet of fish over a roast any day. Our main course on Shavuos always features fish, coupled with a salad of greens, topped with feta cheese. … Continue reading Yogurt bar & pancakes on Shavuos
Cold’s Antidote: Hot Toddy & Chocolate Chip Pancakes
This is me, post 8-mile run Sunday morning. Look closely, and there are icicles on my eye lashes. Yes, I am insane. (Read my post on running in winter weather, if you're curious how to manage.) Add to that, the runs I did outside last week in miserable, frigid weather, and I've been feeling chilled … Continue reading Cold’s Antidote: Hot Toddy & Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Easy pumpkin waffles
Pumpkin waffles might seem like fall-season foods gone overboard, but then you must have never made a recipe with canned pumpkin. Rare is the pumpkin recipe that uses more than half a can of pumpkin, leaving lonesome cups of pumpkin puree regularly in my fridge. Just the sight of them begets creativity. And once in … Continue reading Easy pumpkin waffles

Sunday morning goodness
It won't take much for this week to prove better than last. The aggravation of seeing our basement turn into a giant toilet bowl (thanks to Chicago's sewer system in a flood) paled in comparison to what our nation experienced. But just to be sure we start this week off on the right foot, we … Continue reading Sunday morning goodness
When did breakfast become dessert?
It's post Pesach, and you've got a plan to start eating healthier. So let's start with breakfast. Yogurt and oatmeal are healthy, right? It depends. Turns out most yogurt and oatmeal that American's eat is actually dessert. Just this past week on Pesach, I accidentally bought coffee yogurt instead of plain. Now, keep in mind, … Continue reading When did breakfast become dessert?
Berry Yummy Cereal Bars…with a spot of tea
Granola Baby is growing up so fast. He likes an afternoon spot of tea these days, begging incessantly for "coco-wawa," which refers to any hot drink--coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Some days I acquiesce to warmed milk with a little chocolate in it, but most days when I prepare my own afternoon coffee, Granola Baby … Continue reading Berry Yummy Cereal Bars…with a spot of tea
