  • Orange Ginger Snap Breakfast Polenta

    Things are looking up today, folks!  I saw a hand specialist yesterday, and he confirmed that I got crazy lucky considering what I did to myself.  Great news: I will have zero permanent damage 🙂  and I’ll be pretty much back to normal in just two weeks.  Plus my pain subsided a lot in the…

  • Savory Apple & Sage Hash Browns

    Apple Week recipe #2!  A savory apple recipe.  Yay. Okay, I know I already posted a variety of a sage sweet potato hash.  Now I’m doing a spin on that because I love it sooo much.  

  • Berry Coconut Brown Rice Breakfast Cereal

    This is one of my favorite and most commonly consumed breakfasts!   It’s really more of a formula than a recipe.  Any leftover whole grain + any non-dairy milk.  Microwave.  Add coconut milk + berries + nuts + shredded coconut + dried fruit + maple syrup/agave + vanilla bean/flavored extracts + chocolate chips/carob (for a…

  • Sage Mango Sweet Potato Hash

      Awhile ago, in my Amador County Wine Tasting post, I showed off a gigantic yam that I used for a favorite sage sweet potato hash (yes, a yam for a sweet potato hash.  You can use either.  I’m using a yam, but this is from a recipe for sweet potatoes, so I’m still calling…

  • Matcha Green Tea Breakfast Truffles

      Now my breakfast truffles come with a little caffeine jolt!   Perhaps now they’re even more ideal fuel for an early-morning workout!   

  • Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes w/ Cinnamon Maple Frosting

      Oooookay.  These pancakes taste like cookies.  Amazingly wonderful frosted cookies.   I got the idea for these while eating an oatmeal cookie whoopie pie with cinnamon buttercream filling from Sugar Plum Vegan in Sacramento.  Mmmmm. 

  • Cran-Apple Breakfast Truffles

    Can you tell I’m addicted to my breakfast truffles?  Have I mentioned that they’re the ultimate pre-workout fuel first thing in the morning?  And the perfect guiltless about-100-calories sweet treat when I need one.   My first breakfast truffle post, my chocolate cherry pie version, was the first batch I’d made.  But since then I…

  • New Flora: Steel-Cut Oatmeal + Many Oatmeal Ideas

        Okay, I know steel-cut oatmeal is nowhere near new for many people.  But it is new to me, and I am so excited about it that I had to share.  But I thought I’d prevent boredom in oatmeal fans by also sharing my repertoire of tips, tricks, and recipes to make oatmeal a…

  • Strawberry & Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast

    I decided that yesterday’s lazy holiday breakfast in my new apartment/new kitchen had to be spectacular.  I must say I waaaay achieved that!  This French toast tastes and looks decadent, but it’s really just healthy whole grain bread, fresh beautiful fruit, and a little creaminess from tofu-based cream cheese.  Breakfast treat done right!   

  • Simplest Chocolate Croissants

      I try really hard on this blog, and for all of my meals, to make food that tastes wonderful but is nutritious.  I never force myself to eat something I don’t like, except maybe if it’s really healthy.   Well, the flip side of this philosophy is that I don’t usually eat things that…
