Gold Medal Best Ever Banana Bread

Gold Medal Best Ever Banana Bread by Nancy Miyasaki

I make a lot of banana bread because my kids and husband both love it. I've tried a lot of different recipes, but have found none better that this slight adaptation of the one on the back of the General Mills Gold Medal flour bag. I think they must have tested a lot of different versions before settling on this one, because it is…

Buttermilk Banana Bread

Buttermilk Banana Bread by Nancy Miyasaki

I've made dozens of different types of banana bread, and this is one of my favorites. Our kids devoured it! My oldest told me "this is the best banana bread you've ever made, Mom." That's high praise from a 9th grader!

Swedish Oatmeal Pancakes

Swedish Oatmeal Pancakes by John Spottiswood

I love my wife's traditional swedish pancake recipe. However, I feel much better when I eat a healthy breakfast of oatmeal, so I tried combining the two. I think the combination is wonderful. It still has the chewy, crepe-like texture of the traditional swedish pancake, with just a bit of nutty whole grain texture. Our kids say…

Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa

Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a delicious quinoa recipe that we served with our garlic lime grilled pork chops. This is flavorful enough that you'll want to serve it with a relatively simple grilled dish. It would go wonderfully with grilled fish, chicken, or steak. Or try it with the pork recipe linked below.

Mexican Brown Rice, Quinoa and Black Bean Salad by Salad Foodie

As a main dish or a side to any number of meats or fish meals, this perky bright salad is tasty and healthy. The recipe is from the USA Rice Federation, with only slight modifications. (You can also substitute brown rice for the quinoa for simplicity.) One side serving (7/8 cup salad) provides 215 calories; 31 G. carbohydrate; 5.6 G…

Favorite Buttermilk Waffles (with Whole Grain option)

Favorite Buttermilk Waffles (with Whole Grain option) by Salad Foodie

Buttermilk makes baked products divine, and this is the way I use it in waffles. White whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour can be subbed to boost nutrition. Lazy soul that I am, I mix the batter in a blender and use that as a pitcher to pour them conveniently. I freeze extra waffles for a quick into-the-toaster breakfast.…

Quinoa with Fresh Corn and Mint

Quinoa with Fresh Corn and Mint by John Spottiswood

This is a great quinoa dish to serve alongside fish or chicken. I have grown to love quinoa, and it is perfect for this dish. But this would also be great with Israeli cous cous, regular cous cous, pearl barley or even jasmine rice if you are not a fan of quinoa. The mix of flavors is amazing! Try this when fresh corn is cheap and…

Quinoa Pizza Casserole

Quinoa Pizza Casserole by Debra Parsons

I do not know who came up with this--I got it from and instructor at my health club who got it from a friend. Anyway, it's really good. My husband (who is about as far from being a vegetarian as you can get) thought it was excellent. We did it as a light entree with a slad on a Saturday night (even though it is really a side dish).…
