Recipe Redux – Broccoli & Sausage Egg “Muffins”

BroccoliSausageEggMuffin1

This month’s Recipe Redux theme is all about showers, or brunch parties. It is that time of year for baby showers, bridal showers, graduation parties, etc.  My first thought was that my Breakfast Pizza with Cauliflower Crust would have been perfect! Instead, I came up with a dish that would be great for a buffet style brunch, Broccoli [...]

FarmersMarketBasketMay2013

A few years ago, I had gotten some produce from Farmers Market Baskets and loved the service, but it just wasn’t convenient for me. Well, they finally have a pick-up location near me so I got my produce from them this past week, pictured above. I could not be more pleased with the selection, but [...]

I hope all the mother’s out there had a wonderful day yesterday. I had a great day with my family. We had early dim sum with my husband’s family and then went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens afterwards. I just love the botanical gardens. We got a family membership this past year which we have [...]

Menu Plan Monday – May 6

May? How did we get here. I completely forgot it was Cinco de Mayo yesterday until the day before. I think my head still thinks it is March. April was a blur. And the weather here isn’t helping – it certainly feels like March. I’m sure that will change soon enough though and I’ll be wishing for [...]

  Well I got too complacent with almost a whole month of being illness-free in this house and then E got sick again. A middle of the night trip to the ER derailed me for a day or two (though she is fine – just a really nasty virus that is thankfully almost gone and so [...]

Menu Plan Monday – April 22

My heart was heavy this past week with all of the tragedies and disasters happening not just in our country, but around the world. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with those affected by the events in Boston and West, Texas. I struggled to go about business as usual and needless to say, my menu [...]

Recipe Redux – Sesame Honey Cupcakes with Red Bean Paste

SesameHoneyCupcakes1

This month’s Recipe Redux theme was the cupcake conundrum – still a trend or over it? Quite frankly, I think the trendiness of cupcakes is waning and another dessert will be all the rage soon. Nevertheless, I decided to refresh the cupcake by adding an Asian twist, something trend reports say we will be seeing more [...]

Happy tax day! I’m a little late today not because I’m busy doing my taxes at the last minute (my accountant was yesterday!) but because I had a quick trip Friday and Saturday to Austin, TX for the Texas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics nutrition conference. I got back Saturday night and although I was [...]

Our children had Spring Break this past week and we took a day to go to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens to see all of the tulips in bloom, which were stunning. Thankfully it wasn’t too cool and it had stopped raining. The kids loved it, as always. We got a family pass this past year [...]

Breakfast Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

BreakfastPizzawithCauliflowerCrust.2

Breakfast pizza is something I grew up eating. My father is a great cook, though he mainly keeps to meat and breakfast for his repertoire. Somewhere along the line when I was young, he started finding all kinds of recipes that he would make on Sunday morning or for holidays. Breakfast pizza was one that stuck [...]
