Fried Egg Sandwich 101

This is one of my all-time favorite meals – the egg sandwich. I will eat it any time of day and any day of the week and the best part is dressing this simple food up with a variety of condiments, fruits, spreads, and vegetables. The most common way that I make a fried eggContinue reading “Fried Egg Sandwich 101”

BBQ Tempeh Pizza

Yet another, what do I have in the pantry/fridge that can be made into a meal?, recipe. We have been loving Earth Fare’s chiptotle barbecue sauce lately – it is sweet and surprisingly warm. This combined with onion, mushrooms, and tempeh made for a perfect fast and filling pizza. Simply use the BBQ sauce inContinue reading “BBQ Tempeh Pizza”

Jicama w/ Lime & Chili Dip

Meet jicama. I have been loving this snack combination all week. A crisp snacking tuber is paired with a creamy, tart, and peppery dip – it’s the perfect party duo, after school snack, or mid-morning work munchie. This tasty tuber is also known as a Mexican potato. Jicama has an interesting texture – crisp likeContinue reading “Jicama w/ Lime & Chili Dip”

Vanilla Ice Cream

This organic ice cream is easy to make and can be dressed up into a fancy sundae with peanut butter chips, chocolate sauce, and sprinkles as above, or kept plain old classic vanilla – see last photo. Eric found a brand new, never been used(!) ice cream maker at a thrift shop a few weeksContinue reading “Vanilla Ice Cream”

Sewn Paper Cards

These are a few more of the sewn paper cards I have been working on lately. I have so many projects, they are coming out of my ears – I can’t get them on paper fast enough. The infrequent art project posts on here are only because I have too many going at once toContinue reading “Sewn Paper Cards”

Cherry Hazelnut Muffins

These muffins are so tasty and low in sugar! I have been on this baking with Stevia kick and am really liking the results. The combination of hazelnut and cherries comes about as a search for a spring break muffin – in other words “What do I have that I can use up and itContinue reading “Cherry Hazelnut Muffins”

Spring Break 2013: Piedmont to the Coast

We got up Friday morning and headed to the Outer Banks of North Carolina – these barrier islands are a unique area to visit and have captured our hearts over the past eight years. We did the math and I have been to the Outer Banks 8 times and Eric 7 times. Not bad –Continue reading “Spring Break 2013: Piedmont to the Coast”

Cloth Diapers 101

This post is mostly in response the numerous comments and questions we receive about cloth diapering. The inquiries seem to have ramped up here lately due to the large number of friends and family members having recently had or expecting babies. I also always find myself answering questions to curious onlookers in public restrooms whileContinue reading “Cloth Diapers 101”

Curried Macaroni & Cheese

This idea was born out of a conversation with Eric and a coworker during a conversation around the microwave at work at lunch (yes, I work with my husband, yes, I actually love it). Eric was heating up macaroni & cheese when the colleague walked into the mail room. The conversation went something along theseContinue reading “Curried Macaroni & Cheese”
