This Berry Citrus Quinoa recipe is a great change of pace for breakfast during the summer.

Using Fresh Basil adds so much flavor to recipes. It’s not just for Italian fare. Try it in Asian Cuisine. I’m growing three variety: Thai Basil, Sweet Basil, and what I suspect is Holy Basil but was mislabeled Thai Basil.

Logan loves muffins. I always try to come up with new, healthy (or at least healthier) varieties. He especially loves these Sweet Potato Carrot Muffins.

Pinwheel Sandwiches are such a fun addition to the lunchbox. Check out my recipe for ABC Pinewheels and suggestions for other filling ideas. But they aren’t just good for lunch boxes…I really like them for my lunch at home. Sometimes ingredients shoved between two pieces of bread gets a bit boring.

Over at Craftzine I show you how easy and mess-free it is to cook bacon in the oven instead of stove top. Definitely my preferred method, especially when I’ve just cleaned my stove. Buh-bye grease splatters!

On August 31, 2010, food blogger and photographer Erika of IvoryHut lost her home and its entire contents to a tragic fire. “Our house burned down last night. Barely made it out alive.

I sure have a few banana recipes (Orange Spice Banana Bread and Multi-Grain Banana Bread with Flax) on this site considering that I’m a person who doesn’t really care for the fruit. As far back as I can remember, I never really loved…

I have had this recipe for Sesame Noodles bookmarked for a few weeks now. They looked so fresh and easy, great for a school night dinner when our schedules are a bit more rushed. I finally got around to making it last week, which was timely because I had a bottle of Nakano Red Pepper Rice Vinegar to taste and this was a perfect recipe to test it out in.
