Blueberries, strawberries, and coconut-almond syrup on whole-wheat, crisp waffles. My kids like to color pictures of flowers for the cemetery on Memorial Day Weekend. We started this tradition years ago. I print a bunch of line art flowers from the web, and the kids color them with markers while we drive to the cemetery. Markers make … Continue reading Dairy-Free Memorial Day Waffles

And yet, making everything from scratch is also one of the greatest … Continue reading Peanut Butter and Celery
Muddy Buddies from the Dark Side
Crisp cereal and dark chocolate combine for a tasty treat. Muddy Buddies from the Dark Side...of chocolate, that is. I love dark, dark chocolate--like bitter chocolate. I think 85% chocolate is about perfect. I have been known to eat 100% bitter chocolate. You might think I am crazy, but I love the taste. Maybe it … Continue reading Muddy Buddies from the Dark Side

Roasted Yam Fries
Roasted until golden and sweet, yams will become your favorite vegetable with this recipe. Yams have been hiding under marshmallows too long. They can stand on their own. Really. Trust me on this. I first started roasting vegetables 10 years ago, and yams are one of my favorite. The sweet and mellow flavor pops out … Continue reading Roasted Yam Fries
