Joining challah, these bagels are now a part of my weekly baking repertoire. I hadn’t made bagels before a few weeks ago, though I’ve always loved them. I finally decided to try my hand at making them. While they’re not always perfectly round like store-bought, I’ve heard no complaints from anyone who has eaten them [...]

Bottomless Veggie Pot Pie

I love pot pies… for the most part. What I don’t like is soggy tops that sink into the middle. Call it crazy, but I created a fake out pot pie last week that fixed the soggy top issue and even left out the bottom so there’s more emphasis on the tasty veggies! Call it [...]

I had the pleasure of hosting this month’s Stitch and B*tch at our house for the first time since were finally settled into our new home. I was excited and wanted to share this newish meal with the ladies. I made it the week before for our Shabbat dinner and it was a big hit [...]

Cheesy Bow Ties

I got so distracted with cleaning for Passover that time zipped by. Before I knew it, it was closer to Luv’s nap time than lunchtime. *bad momma* What started as an experimental last-minute scramble, turned into a ridiculously tasty lunch. So, I made it again for dinner that night as a courtesy for the mister. [...]

Tropical Rice Pudding

I wanted to give Charlie a dessert she could enjoy without hurting her mouth. So the rice had to be super soft; already cooked rice absorbing liquid a second time worked perfectly. I also made sure to purée mango over her pudding, but you can leave them as is… Ingredients 1 cup organic wild rice [...]

Creamy, Fruity Smoothies

smoothie

Since she can only have soft foods until her mouth is fully healed I’ve made smoothies for Charlie’s lunch the last few days. I figure smoothies are a great way to keep her satisfied and nourished, while changing up her soft food regimen. Ingredients ● 1 organic banana, sliced ● 1/4 cup Woodstock Farms frozen [...]

Blue Tacos

I’ve always loved tacos. But I admit I felt like a fish out of water when I first realized I was going to make tacos without loading them up with cheese and sour cream. It may sound silly, but that’s how I’m used to eating them or at least I had the option. Don’t get [...]

Szechuan Kelp Noodle Salad

I was recently introduced to Kelp Noodles at a pot-luck dinner last weekend with friends. To my surprise, any “seaweed” flavor was either non-existent or well hidden. Charlie loved it, so the next time we were at our local PCC, I picked some up to experiment with. I made a quasi-Szechuan sauce and tossed it [...]

Fruit Salad

Lately, I’ve been making a lot of fruit salad both for dessert and as a side dish. It’s light and so easy to make. The granola I use happens to be my favorite cereal from Nature’s Path. If you’ve never tried it, what’s stopping you? Swap out your favorite fruits, I’ve made it with apples [...]

New Year’s Snacks {Even For Toddlers}

IMG_01502

I decided to throw a mini New Year’s party for the three of us. We made the perfect snack to nibble on! Back in November, our family was introduced to Nature’s Path products and have been hooked ever since. All the cereal we buy is Nature’s Path now. We’re completely hooked! When we were getting [...]
