Cilantro Latkes with Zucchini
I must have been in a Cooking Light mood this week – here’s a second recipe from Cooking Light, which I absolutely love. I’m very happy to have discovered that I don’t notice some shredded zucchini in latkes – so why not add them? Extra fiber, pretty green color, and less guilt for eating crispied […]

Apple Pie Oatmeal
Here is a really fun way to spice up your morning oatmeal! Add apple pie spices and sauteed apples onto cinnamon-filled oatmeal. Yum! This apple pie topping is adapted from a Cooking Light recipe for a topping to French toast, which I started putting on everything. On top of oatmeal is a huge success.

If you’ve never made wonton soup from scratch, I definitely recommend it! It’s actually fairly easy. And for something that tastes so wonderfully hearty and comforting, it’s incredibly light.

The original recipe is filled with tons of honey, instant dry milk (gross!), and was impossible to make with natural peanut butter. Now they’re revamped! […]

Brown Sugar Crusted Grapefruit
This is not a recipe at all, but just an easy wonderful secret to finding grapefruit irresistible — adding sugar, of course! When I was growing up, this was the only way I would even touch a grapefruit. My dad would take a half a grapefruit and pack brown sugar on top. Then he’d broil […]

Recipe Review | Vegan Crab Cakes
OMG these are so good! But I didn’t change a single thing in this recipe, so I’m calling it a recipe “review.” I got this recipe from the Skinny Bitch cookbook – Skinny Bitch in the Kitch. I just can’t believe how delicious they are. Not the healthiest thing on this blog, but so worth […]

Rosemary Polenta "Fries"
I haven’t cooked with polenta very much at all, but it’s quickly becoming a favorite. It can be rich and creamy OR you can let it set and cut it into slices and shapes, crisp them up – so fun!
