It's #NationalBrownDay! Because brownies. Below is the real Moosewood Cookbook brownie recipe. They're gooey and taste incredible--like Dunkin Heinz without all the chemicals. I use whole wheat flour, but no matter because there's hardly any flour in them. They're pretty much sugar and chocolate. They're heavenly. But on any ol' day, I generally steer clear … Continue reading Moosewood brownies, 2 ways
Yogurt bar & pancakes on Shavuos
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.

Pesach, Granoladox style
Reposting this from last year, since chometz is going out of style again soon. We start out Pesach with grand plans.

Granola for Pesach
You didn't think I would go through Pesach without granola, did you? Not when the only thing to eat for breakfast is yogurt, eggs and scary Passover cereal.

Pumpkin “Pi” Day
My boarder has turned us all into a bit of a nerd. But, if you consider nerdy as the new cool (as we do), then that makes us fabulous. This "pi" is because we love her.
