I have been buying a lot of single - size frozen pizzas lately. My teenagers love them. I finally decided to try making my own version. Using this recipe, you can make 8 small pizzas that are 7" in size. These can be frozen and quickly heated later on a busy night. Or you can have them available for the children at any time. I use an easy, no-yeast pizza dough recipe I made … [Read more...]

Whole Wheat Carrot Cake Pancakes
I love playing with pancake batters. I recently made some Whole Wheat Zucchini Carrot Pancakes, and decided to take them to the next level with a cream cheese-maple syrup. And oh. oh. oh. my. word. Yes...these are safe to call dinner. Or breakfast. Or lunch. Or after school snack. Or midnight snack. Or all of the above. (But maybe not in the same day!!?!!) These … [Read more...]
Whole Wheat Banana Strawberry Crumb Muffins (with no sugar!)
I don't remember the last time that I made muffins "from a box." And I'm afraid if I tried muffins from a box, I wouldn't like them. They may be extra sweet...but I'm afraid they wouldn't taste real. Or good even. Since I gave up processed sugar and white flours this month, I've had to get creative with baking. I did get some wheat berries and sucanat to help make some … [Read more...]

Bread Machine Cheesy Herb Bread
Fifteen years ago when I bought my bread machine all I knew how to do with it was a buy a boxed mix, dump it in and press start. The problem with that is that prepared mixes are pretty expensive and they're just not that easy to find anymore. These days we use it for all sorts of things like making pizza dough and cinnamon rolls, and for experimenting with different varieties … [Read more...]
Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free Pancakes
Making gluten free anything can be tricky...especially when baking or making pancakes or waffles. I have found that baking mini-muffins or mini-loaves when using gluten free flours works best. I have also found that many gluten free pancakes are quite flat. This batch was "medium flat." Not quite as fluffy as regular wheat flour pancakes, but not flat and rubbery like other … [Read more...]
Egg Salad BLT Sandwich
Back in January, I spent a lot of time traveling promoting my 2nd cookbook. I often stopped for meals at Subway...and during one of those stops, I was looking over the menu in hopes of finding a new sandwich to try. The BLT caught my eye and then it got me thinking about what else would work with a BLT. Tuna salad would work...especially with some melted Swiss on top. … [Read more...]
Bean and Cheese Sandwiches
In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, I'll be having these for lunch tomorrow! Molletes. (Pronounced, moy-ette-s.) Please pardon my incorrect breakdown of the sounds. Grammar, sounds and pronunciation are not my forte! Molletes are traditional Mexican sandwiches, and my spicy version is the perfect way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a little kick! Enjoy!!! Cinco … [Read more...]
