Recipe Redux – Pumpkin Chai Waffles

This month’s Recipe Redux theme is all about tea and using tea as an inspiration for healthy dishes. I just love Chai and created my own blend back in the winter when I made my Hot Chai Dark Chocolate Mix. Using tea as an inspiration, I whipped up this batch of Pumpkin Chai Waffles. Yes, […]

Recipe Redux – Roasted Dill Carrots

This month’s theme for Recipe Redux is treasured cookware – some sort of inherited cookware from a loved one with a healthy recipe to go along with it. My grandmother, Mima, passed away 18 years ago Easter weekend, which was coincidentally one of her favorite holidays. Her passing had a profound impact on me, and still […]

Recipe Redux: Butternut Squash, Caramelized Onion, Kale and Pesto Pizza

What a most lovely mouthful – to say and eat! This month’s Recipe Redux challenge is all about pizza, one of America’s favorite foods. We love pizza night at our house and make it quite often. I love to do a pizza bar and set out a variety of toppings so that everyone can make […]

Recipe Redux – Fig Preserves

This month’s Recipe Redux theme is Raising the Bar on Food in a Jar. I’m sure you may have noticed on Pinterest that meals in a mason jar are all the rage from Overnight Oats (which I should probably try but my bowl works just fine) to Salads. I guess if I didn’t work from […]

Recipe Redux – Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Have Snacks. Will Travel. This month’s Recipe Redux theme is all about packing healthy snacks for the road. This couldn’t have come at a better time as I was in the airport when I saw the theme with some of my favorite snacks already packed in my bag, as you see in the picture above. […]

Recipe Redux – Chia Seed Overnight Oats

This month’s Recipe Redux is all about seeds, or Sowing Seasonal Seeds, to be exact. There are a wide variety of seeds available that can be added to dishes to add texture, crunch, flavor and improve nutrient profile. While sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and ground flaxseed are staples in my kitchen, I also keep chia seeds on […]
