Sweet peachy cornbread

I came up with this on the fly last week after realizing too late in the day that we were out of plain almond milk and very low on cornmeal.  Necessity is the mother of invention though…orrrrr…in Elise terms…being cheap and desperate will lead you down different paths than your ideal route.   But I made it work, and I wrote down what I used in case it was decent and (shocker) it may be my favorite cornbread recipe ever.   Sweet Peach Cornbread [gluten free, soy free, nut free] Ingredients: 3/4 cup corn meal 1 1/2… Read more >

Ruts and reining it in

And just like that, my accountability went down the drain.  Wah wah.   Even though I spoiled my dinner with the above yog from cultive, it was so necessary.  I had just finished loading my groceries into the car when I noticed my (new) iPhone was nowhere to be found.  I usually keep it in the cup holder on the stroller, so I figured it either fell out when I pushed P over a bump or crack in the sidewalk…or…someone stole it.  Since I live in Davis, I figured it was my fault.  So I… Read more >

Chocolate Cherry quick bread

  I know it’s all like pumpkin this and pumpkin that and pumpkin all. the. things. up in blogland, but I actually have a non-pumpkin quick bread recipe today.   For the record, I will be making up for lost time and squashing my face away for the next 90 days so don’t you worry about the absence of gourds this first week of fall. We all know October is the best month ever.  It’s pink, it’s my birthday, it’s football, it’s comfort food.  It’s everything good.  So we will get there soon, promise. In… Read more >

Creamy Dijon Tempeh & Spinach Casserole

  This casserole was so good I’m still thinking about it.  Kyle and I fought over the leftovers (meaning I made him promise he’d let me have them and he begrudgingly agreed). What can I say, it was goooood. I have lots of ideas for ways to tweak it, but in truth, I don’t think I’ll end up doing anything different the next time around because I don’t wanna mess with perfection.  That said, I have a feeling it’ll make it’s way into repeat line of the dinner rotation so maybe down the road I… Read more >

Bananaberry Crumble bread

Can you believe I made this a while ago but only just got around to trying it? I know that sounds insane but it was purely due to the move.  I hated the idea of blueberries and greek yogurt going to waste, so I decided to bake with it.  Transporting a couple of frozen loaves of bread is way easier than berries and yogurt individually. It may seem like I’m obnoxiously frugal cheap, but organic blueberries are not inexpensive.  Plus I don’t like the idea of waste.  I’m the girl that takes home the last… Read more >
