I got a text message from Tim yesterday afternoon letting me know he was having a late lunch and asking me to plan for a light dinner. What I put together was definitely light, but big on flavor. It's amazing how roasting foods can bring out such complex and deep flavors. And I just love roasting ...

Toddler Tuesday: Why I Choose Organic (and I think you should, too!)
Before Meghan was born, I didn't buy much organic food. I figured I was doing well to be eating a good amount of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and didn't think buying organic was worth the extra cost. To be honest, I was blissfully ignorant at the time. I hadn't done ...
Toddler Thursday: Healthy Cookies
Two toddler posts this week! I made a mistake last Easter. I told someone that I wasn't planning on putting any candy in Meghan's Easter basket, but was going to fill it with little toys, bubbles, and stickers. She was only 18 months old, hadn't had any sugary treats yet, and I wanted to keep ...
Revisiting an Old Standby: Quick Stir Fry
The December before I graduated college I was given my first cookbook as a Christmas gift. It was like a big hint: you're on your own now, baby, you better learn how to fend for yourself in the kitchen. I remember feeling all domestic as I leafed through the pages, trying to find the recipes ...
Toddler Tuesday: Baked Parmesan Zucchini Coins
Meghan likes most of her vegetables served plain, just lightly steamed. She will eat just about all the vegetables I have offered her, but there are a few she refuses again and again. One of her seemingly least-favorite vegetables is zucchini. I've put some on her plate time and again as it's a ...
If You Think You Don’t Like Tofu, Try This: Sweet Chili Lime Tofu
There was a time when the thought of preparing tofu at home intimidated me. I would use it as a stand-in for cheese in casserole dishes or lasagna, but that was about it. I've enjoyed some tofu dishes at restaurants, but have always shied away from making a meal with tofu as the main ingredient. ...
I’m Still Here
Hi there blog friends! I'm just checking in to give reassurance that I have not disappeared on you. This has been a busy, travel-filled summer (which I love!) and I'm not quite a mobile-blogger yet. After a wonderful weekend in San Diego, I am now in Phoenix visiting one of my ...
Toddler Tuesday: Don’t Give Up…
...on foods you don't think your toddler likes. It's been a gratifying week. Toddlers have weird taste buds and weird moods to go along with those strange taste buds, but you never know what they will fancy one day to the next. So even if you think your little one definitely will not like, or has ...
Change is in the Air
Howdy blog readers! This post isn't going to have any healthy eating tips, ingredient information, or recipes. I just wanted to share some exciting news--my food blog is going to be moving. I've decided to leave blogger and use a self-hosted site. I had to ...
Zucchini 3 Ways
Zucchini is in abundance at the farmer's market right now, and if you are lucky enough to have your own garden, you may be overflowing with summer squash right now. Looking for some different ways to use up your abundance? Read on for three different recipes where zucchini is the star. That's ...
Toddler Tuesday: Healthy Snackin’ Ideas
We're back! I was hoping to post a few times while we were away last week, but was only able to squeeze in blogging on one day. Of course it was Toddler Tuesday. :-) We got back home yesterday afternoon and life has been hectic since then, but I'm anxious to get back into the swing of things. On ...
Toddler Tuesday: Have Fun with Food
More than anything, I want eating to be for Meghan what it should be for everyone: a pleasurable experience. Sure, there are times when I get stressed that she is refusing to eat as many vegetables as I think she should or when I wonder if she is eating enough at all. But I ...
