Fiddleheads are now in season! I was able to purchase these at a local farm stand. These delicate greens may be used as a side dish, salad, garnish, or even a meal! They remind me of aspargus and green beans are prepared in much the same manner. They are high in vitamin A and are [...]

Time to get healthy and smaller for the summer. Just the thought of muffins makes me think that I’m going to pack on the pounds but then I think mini muffins and I just mindfully got transformed into seeing weightloss. So mini muffins must be the way to go! These are healthy muffins. Don’t add [...]

One of the good things about growing older, (and I mean one, as there are not too many good things about growing older), is that tastebuds somehow become more sophisticated. My mom used to prepare this recipe and her and her sisters would rave about them. True, they did have some chocolate in them, but [...]

A portable interesting breakfast is considered valuable on a hectic day. When I’m out and about on a planned outing and I know that I am going to need a breakfast, I bake up a batch of muffins beforehand. One of my favorite is a scrumptious cranberry muffin.

There is nothing like the aroma of fresh blueberry muffins baking in the oven. Here is a great recipe for a moist muffin! Any fruits can be substituted for the blueberries. I like to also use this recipe with raspberries. A combination of mixed berries would also be incredible. If you add chopped apples, throw [...]

That title reminds me of someone, but I don’t know who. Oh well, on with my post. Now that summer is on the way, it is especially getting to be the salad season. A salad is only as good as its dressing. I have very many different salads and dressings that I eat on a [...]

Here is a great buckwheat pancake mix. I was brought up with buckwheat pancakes and have tried to find the perfect buckwheat pancake that resembles or comes as close to the ones I used to have as a child. My mother would go to Old Sturbridge Village and get the buckwheat mix and make the [...]

Leftover ham? Here is a great way to use it up. I had an incredible tasting ham for Easter and way too much left over. I decided to make a ham and pasta salad as we wanted something different for dinner. Very easy to make and makes a perfect dinner or lunch, light yet still [...]
