No-Oven Carrot Cake!I am having an amazing afternoon snack of freshly baked Carrot Cake. I am thrilled by it.When I was little, my mom almost always had an after school snack for us. Cookies or cake or popcorn or who knows what. To be honest, I mostly remember cookies. There may have been other things. It was so consistant that we would sometimes have… |

Stove-top biscuitsBeing in another country means adjusting ingredients and cooking methods. Let me show you around my kitchen.First, here it is! The fridge is to the left, and there is a small set of shelves that you can see on the right. I think the stove and oven are recognizable, and to the right of those is the sink. That's right, no cabinet. Those… |

Tartelette au Crumble: The best of two cuisinesIf you couldn't tell, I am now in France, enjoying all the progress that French gastronomy has made in however many thousand years. I am also in a city that claims to be the capital of gastronomy - not too bad! So I will share some things with you, even if I haven't tried them yet. I have discovered a brilliant little pastry shop and… |

Strawberry Mousse SorbetPagesI am now in France, enjoying all kinds of delicious foods, and staying with a host family. My host mom has a magic machine that you can't buy in the US (yet) called a Thermomix. It mixes, it heats, it weighs, it times, it chops, it kneads. So you can see why it's magic. Today we made a Strawberry Sorbet that was extra magical.… |

Healthier Box browniesYears ago I posted a version of a brownie mix recipe that is lower in fat and calories. While that is great, it's not enough for me anymore - I don't just want to have a treat that isn't "bad" for me, I want it to be good for me, too! I add 2g protein per brownie, so it's ok, but not perfect. These are not quite as far in that… |

Whole wheat blueberry muffins from pancake mixThe other day we had a TON of blueberries (they were on a good sale!) and we didn't want them to go bad, so we decided that muffins were in order. Feeling lazy, I though I might see if I could make them from pancake mix. I based my idea on this recipe, but instead of using a mix that included dried blueberries, I added the fresh ones… |

Whole wheat, low sugar apple pie sconesLast night I really wanted something kind of muffin-y, but not. I had re-found my apple pie scone recipe last week, and thought that sounded perfect. Of course, this time I decided it should be with white whole wheat flour. So, I set about making them and decided they should have half of the sugar, too. They don't start out with much… |

Review: High Protein Sweet Potato Spice CookiesTwo days ago I pinned a very fun looking recipe. High Protein Sweet Potato Spice Cookies. How cool is that?? And no sugar! Even more exciting! I got the sweet potatoes from the store that night, but made the brownie batter dip instead. Can you blame me? I can't.Tonight it was the cookies's turn. I mixed it up. And almost over-did it… |

Brownie Batter DipI have one thing to say: SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!Sorry, now that that's out of my system. I've been trying to eat more protein, because when I moved out from being made food, I realized that I don't reach for protein sources automatically. Cookies? Yes. Protein? No. So I figured if I could find some SWEET recipes with protein,… |

Green smoothies!PagesI started making smoothies using a commercial-quality blender, so I took much too long to pick a blender now that I won't have access to that one. Everybody has critiques on the working of all blenders that cost under $100, and maybe it is smarter to get one of those, but I still can't bring myself to do it. I ended up with a… |
