When do you clean the blender?

Here’s the real indicator that I’m type A…I literally clean the blender parts and put them away before I drink my smoothie.  Even when I’m a crazy hangrypants.  Please tell me there are others out there who do this too?  I know the OCD tendencies run deep in food bloggers, so I don’t think I’m going too out on a limb with this.  But I definitely do it every. single. time. I make a smoothie.  Other dishes, not so much.  I’ll wait til after I eat breakfast to clean the frying pan (usually because I… Read more >

Sneaky squash muffins

  As I’ve shared several times before, this recipe is on repeat all the time here at the HHH household.  It’s an allergy friendly winner!  I make it with blueberries instead of chocolate chips most of the time, but sometimes (if I don’t have blueberries on hand), I just leave them as plain pumpkin muffins without any add-ins.  Still great!  Anyway, I wanted to try a savory version in an effort to trick P into eating some squash.  Yes, I’ve no resorted to "sneaky chef" techniques – baking veggies into my kid’s food.  I’ve been… Read more >

My highlights: week 6

My little boy is no longer a baby.   Happy first birthday patty-cakes.  You are the biggest source of joy I have ever known.  Obviously the boxes and wrapping were more exciting than the actual presents.   We had a little party with our closest family and friends.  It was pretty perfect. Pacman muffin. 🙂 I had the same breakfast 4 days this week thanks to these GF lemon streusel muffins by Udi’s.    Sorry for the hyperbole, but they are SOOO good.  I don’t usually go gaga for lemon things, but they actually aren’t mega… Read more >

Granola-ish Bars [allergen free]

Does granola necessarily mean oats?  Or grains?   I read that buckwheat is a fruit the other day.  Hmmmm…I know it’s not related to wheat and I know it’s not a grass…eh, whatever [too lazy to google].   Ok so I made these bars and I’m not really sure if they count as granola or not, but if you feel like the ingredients list suits you, then go ahead and give them a shot.  And then send me a new recipe name suggestion.  🙂   The recipe is allergy friendly, and has no nuts, eggs,… Read more >

What I did Wednesday

Hello sunshine! First things first, I went on a run with my bundled up babe.  Ok, not first things first.  I nursed him before anything else.  Anyway, it wasn’t that cold out but I still made him super cozy.  As a treat, I hit up Starbucks mid-jog.  Took it home in my travel mug so it was still hot post-shower. Aside from the decaf joe, we had the same thing for breakfast.  Scrambled eggs with a pumpkin coconut flour muffin.  And blueberries.  Always blueberries for the little man. After we played around, I put him… Read more >
