By On January 17, 2012 · 1 Comment

Wow. I first posted about these muffins over three years ago. They have really stood the test of time. If my daughter had her way, we’d make a batch every week. With a seal of approval like that, I figured they would make good “in-a-jar” gifts.

Originally, I had planned to [...]

It never fails. Whenever I make pumpkin pie, I always have a little bit of squash and pie crust dough left over. I save the squash for muffins, but there’s not much I can do with the dough.

This year my daughter suggested we make thumbkin pumpkins with the leftover ingredients. She made them [...]

homemade protein bar recipe

By On June 1, 2011 · 1 Comment

When I began P90X, I was really hungry. I thought having some protein bars ready to grab from the pantry would be helpful, but I couldn’t find any that I really liked. Then I started reading things about soy protein isolate and thought maybe I should try making these on my own. [...]

It’s picnic season and I’ve started thinking about snacks that are easy to pack when we’re going to the park. I’ve always loved scones, but I like them light and fluffy, not like some of the hard ones you find in coffee shops.
