Lactation Oatmeal

If you’ve done any research on foods that boost lactation, you’ve probably read that oatmeal is often recommended.  For this reason, I have oatmeal every day for breakfast!  I have a few things I add to it to make it extra “milky,” and I have quite the little system for preparing the oatmeal ahead of […]

Pumpkin Lactation Bars

The pumpkin craze strikes again, this time in the form of lactation bars.  I make lactation granola bars regularly and switch up the flavors with ingredients like various dried fruits, coconut flakes (toasted or untoasted), bananas, etc.  I thought it would be yummy to try a variation with pumpkin to switch things up a little.  […]

Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal

It’s that time of year where the weather is getting cooler and everyone becomes obsessed with all things pumpkin.  I’m not judging.  I’m not immune to the siren song of the pumpkin.  However, I’m not one to pigeon-hole the pumpkin to strictly the fall season.  I’m an equal opportunity pumpkinist and use it at crazy times like February or July!

Lactation Granola Bars

So, I haven’t posted much since I’ve become a Mommy.  I’m on summer break right now, so I can’t really complain about being too busy, but I am enjoying a lot of snuggles and smiles with my sweet little guy before I have to go back to work in four short weeks.  I have cooked […]

My New Favorite Pancake Recipe

Let me tell you about my new favorite pancake recipe.  They’re so flavorful and fluffy, plus there’s all kinds of good stuff in them – whole wheat flour, oats, flax seeds.  There’s no oil, white flour, or sugar.   Compared to plain white pancakes, these are faintly nutty, slightly sweet, slightly salty, and have just the […]

Crustless Spinach, Ham, and Feta Quiche

I’ve been kind of slacking on posting lately, but I think you’ll forgive me.  See, Tim and I have been spending a lot of time nesting, getting ready for our little one’s arrival.  Good thing, too, because Wesley decided he was ready to come three weeks early and graced us with his presence on April […]

Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes

Many people love pumpkin recipes in the fall, but I prefer not to discriminate against pumpkin’s delicious offerings, opting to enjoy them any time.  Sure, pumpkins themselves aren’t in season right now, but pumpkin puree is available year-round, and it’s not like I cook my own pumpkins for recipes anyway.  So although it’s January, give […]

Peanut Butter Banana Surprise II

Are you still as full from Thanksgiving as I am?  I mean, we had four Thanksgiving meals in three days.  That’s gotta be some kind of record.  I don’t imagine you want to read about some big meal right now, so I figured I’d post something that’s kind of healthy and light.  This is a […]

Hot Off the Griddle: Pumpkin French Toast

I love pumpkin this time of year.  Who doesn’t, right?  I decided some pumpkin french toast sounded good this weekend, and I was right.  It was deee-licious!  It’s so good; it just screams fall!  After Tim got done inhaling it, he said, “Did I just eat pumpkin pie?”  It’s easy too.  Pretty much just like […]

Whole Wheat Blueberry Pecan Pancakes

Exciting news – our kitchen is done!…ish.  🙂  I mean, it’s definitely back in working order.  We still have a few things to put away, the crown molding needs to go on top of the cabinets, the dishwasher has to be mounted to the cabinets, and I have to get a new curtain and put […]
