Easy Homemade Croutons

March 7, 2010

I’ve been making my own homemade croutons recently (and not just because I ran out of store-bought ones!). They are super easy, delicious, and you can custom-make them to your own personal taste.

March 1, 2010

Today’s recipe is quick and easy- perfect with breakfast (I pair mine with toast) or as refreshing summer beverage. I use only 3 ingredients- freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, and a small amount (about 1/4 cup) of frozen raspberries.
I start by juicing one grapefruit and then two oranges. I love the taste [...]

The reason for prepping the oatmeal the day before baking is to soak the oats in filtered water- this [...]

Last weekend I wanted a warm, hearty soup to enjoy, but didn’t feel like spending all day in the kitchen. I found in my Betty Crocker Cookbook (New Edition) a healthy and rewarding recipe for split pea soup, with not a whole lot of time spent chopping and only a couple of hours cooking time.

Raw Key Lime Tart

January 25, 2010

Today Jessica and I made our first truly raw dessert from the book Raw for Dessert by Jennifer Cornbleet. It fills a full 9″ pie pan and is pretty easy to make, especially if you prepare the crust ahead of time (it will last for a month in a sealed container in the fridge).
