Last spring my neighbor gave me a loaf of this Blueberry “Bread” as a thank you for helping her with some carpool duties. I loved the loaf and promptly asked for the recipe for the Blueberry Cake. She replied that it was actually Blueberry Bread. (It’s bread in the way that Banana Bread is Bread- but it’s … Continue reading 5 Stars For This Blueberry Loaf
When making a breakfast feast, my problem with breakfast casseroles and quiches is that they usually have crusts or bread baked in. And while this is delicious, my digestive system is much happier when my gluten intake is at minimum. Which has been a journey- of which I will spare you the details. I would … Continue reading Crustless Vegetable Quiche
I've been wanting to share this recipe with you because it has been a gift in my nutritional life lately. However, I haven't known the best timing. December doesn't seem the month, as many a-post on Instagram and the world wide web are filled with *stunningly beautiful baked goodies*. It seems that a post of … Continue reading Power Muffins: Fuel for the Day
It's getting colder and since we are trying to find ways to gather outside when hanging out with people, I am starting to think brunch and lunch are better options than dinner because it is getting dark and cold in Nashville by 5. This oatmeal is great for your household on any day, but can … Continue reading Instant Pot Steel Cut Oatmeal
I am a big fan of Banana Bread and Bran muffins. So, this spring, when I was baking bread (like the rest of the country in quarantine), I was wanting to find a way to merge the tastiness and resourcefulness of Banana Bread with the hearty, nutty, healthiness of Bran. I searched in many places … Continue reading Lots of Loaves (#2 Must Make Loaf: Banana Bran Bread)

my much-too-ambitious book stack/ summer 2019 Hop straight to the recipe HERE . Every May I stack up a tower of books for Summer Reading. I never complete the stack, but rather it is my pile from which to pull for the summer. This year it is entirely too large, but there are so many books that … Continue reading Summer Book Stack & Novel-Inspired Cheese Scones
Dark, cold mornings whisper "oatmeal" in my ear! I appreciate a good bowl of oatmeal, especially in the winter. I made this recipe on Thanksgiving morning, while we watched the Macy's parade. It's wholesome and hearty and can be topped according to people's preferences. I stored the leftovers in the refrigerator for the days after, … Continue reading Creamy Nutty Steel Cut Oats
These little treasures, originally inspired by the lovely Marche Artisan Foods in East Nashville, are so delightful and fun to create. They are a breakfast/brunch menu item, but really, they could be enjoyed at any hour of the day. By definition, a Tartine is: "a fancy French open-faced sandwich topped with spreadable ingredients", and the … Continue reading Summer Tartines
In my ideal world, I would prep for the week by making up batches of food to last several days: Cut fruits and raw veggies, make salads (cucumber, kale, chicken, etc.), bake bread, cook a pot of black beans, brew a gallon of tea, bake some granola or prep some muesli, stir up some muffin … Continue reading Sun Tea and Muesli
