I love to make homemade pancakes, but prefer the convenience of a mix. I've had a hard time finding a healthier mix that I really love, though. Most of the whole grain mixes I've tried create a pancake that is too dense and hearty. While I like a dense, hearty pancake once in a while, Tim laments ...

Strawberry Creme Fraiche Toast {Guest Post}
Today's post is from Rashmi from YumKid. Her blog is filled with tasty, kid-friendly recipes and so much more. She has two (adorable!) children and shares her wisdom on feeding them well. I'm honored to have her guest post for me today! I am always in awe of how things taste differently ...
Very Berry Whole Grain Mini-Muffins
In my last post when I gave you a peak into my fridge, there was one thing I didn't mention. Did any of you notice the random bakery box in the before picture of my the refrigerator? Here--look again: And what was inside the box? This is what makes its way into the house if I don't keep a ...
Strawberry Banana Yogurt Muffins
I started something new today. At 5:30 in the morning, five days a week, for the next 21 days, I will be attending an "adventure boot camp" class with a group of about 20 other women. Ever since I made exercising regularly a goal for 2011, I've been doing a better job of making working out a ...
Vegan Lemon Blueberry Scones
When life hands you lemons, make lemon scones. This week should have been a great week for me. I had a birthday, and I love birthdays. I'm not someone who worries about her age, but rather embraces each stage of my life. Despite the smile and carrot cake, I had a tough week. At times I felt ...
Breakfast Quinoa
It's easy to get into a breakfast rut. For Meghan and Tim, it's smoothies. For me, it's oatmeal. Both are great breakfast choices, but if you eat anything 7 days a week you're bound to get sick of it eventually. This recipe was my attempt to shake up our breakfasts. {The chocolate waffles were ...
Whole Wheat Chocolate Waffles with Strawberry Sauce
This is what I like to call a healthy indulgence. Is this an indulgent breakfast? Yes. Can an indulgence still be healthy? Of course! Just wait until you see the ingredient list--no one will ever guess the nutrition these waffles pack in. If you haven't noticed, I've been on a bit of a ...
PB & J Oatmeal
As much as I like to think I'm helping develop a healthy eater who doesn't require "kid food" at every meal, there is one kid sandwich that Meghan would eat at every meal if I let her: peanut butter and jelly. One time she asked for it for breakfast, and I almost obliged. Instead, Peanut Butter ...
Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats
Steel cut oats are the less-processed brother of rolled oats. Because they are less processed, they retain more nutrients than rolled oats, which of course means steel cut are the oats I want to consume. Until recently, I have only consumed them on a rare occasion, though, because they take so. ...
Yogurt Parfaits
If you want to feel like you are eating breakfast at a fancy hotel, make a yogurt parfait and put it in a martini glass. It's a great way to use those martini glasses you registered for despite the fact you don't drink martinis on a regular basis or ever have eight people over who drink ...
Favorite Recipes of 2010
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed their time celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. While I took a few days off from blogging to focus on the celebration and time with my family, I wanted to give you a recap of our favorite recipes that I posted on Happy ...
Immune Boosting Smoothie
I hope everyone had a happy, healthy Thanksgiving holiday. I hope you enjoyed my non-recipe posts as we were visiting my in-laws and I didn't do much cooking. After two days of driving, Meghan woke up this morning with a low-grade fever, no energy, and not much of an appetite. My poor sweetie ...
