Double-Chocolate Greek Yogurt Muffins
It was well over a month ago that I read this on Jennie’s blog, The Messy Baker: Muffin Monday is an initiative by Baker Street. A culinary journey of sharing a wickedly delicious muffin recipe every week. Drop in a quick line to join her on her journey to make the world smile and beat [...]
Comfort Food???
I’m sick. I’ve been sick for a week and a half. I spent the evening at BOLO terrified that I’d get up there and try to start reading and just croak. Come to think of it, maybe I did. Everyone was so nice, I wouldn’t have put it past them to just read along on their iPhones [...]
Chickpea, Red Pepper and Feta Salad
I remember when we were in Greece, and ordered a “Cucumber, Onion, and Tomato Salad”. And that is exactly what we got: a huge bowl of cucumber chunks, tomato slices and a thick slice of onion.
Greek Yogurt Blueberry Muffins
These muffins were a happy accident – the recipe allowed substituting yogurt for milk, but it became pretty obvious as I tried to mix wet and dry that they didn’t mean greek yogurt. Some extra milk and a few other tweaks made a yummy, moist muffin that I would make again and again, even if [...]
Sugar Free Chocolate Pancakes
I considered trying to come up with a clever title for this post, but they’re Chocolate Pancakes. I mean, really. You don’t mess with Chocolate Pancakes. DH came up with this recipe by combining recipes for pancakes and marble cake. The sweetening technique came from some research he did on artificial sweeteners that showed that [...]
What’s In The Crock? Peanut Butter.
Ok, so there’s chicken in there too, and a couple of other things. But the peanut butter is definitely the most important part. I tried this recipe the other day, and as always, a little bit went onto the toddler’s plate. I wasn’t hopeful, the only meat I’ve ever seen her consume was in the [...]
What’s in the Crock? Magic Black Bean Soup
What makes this soup magical? It can make just about any vegetable just disappear. I love it, partly because it’s tasty, but especially because it calls for ‘vegetables’. Pretty much any vegetable will do. We make it to clean out the crisper use up broccoli & mushroom stems give a home to all that extra [...]
What’s in the Crock? Snap Chicken.
Snap. As in it’s a snap. This is so easy I’m not sure you can even call it a recipe. I started with a dish from allrecipes.com, dropped some high-fat stuff, then a couple of other things I didn’t have, looked at it and said “well cripes, that’s nothing but chicken and soup”. So I [...]
What’s in the Crock? Chickpea Curry.
This is a long-time favourite, based on a recipe from an old Weight Watchers mag (with a few tweaks). I usually make a triple batch of the onions etc., freeze two “spice bricks” and use the third right away – then the next two batches are “dump & go”. It’s also a quick-prep if you [...]
