Cooking with seasonal products and the contents of your pantry
Did you know that fruit and herbs pair very nicely together? In this case, nectarines pair with thyme for this satisfying breakfast (or snack). And this has been my breakfast almost every day this week. I had surgery on my foot so I’ve needed to…
Rhubarb season is coming to an end, so let’s celebrate with some muffins! I was able to get some extra rhubarb and freeze it so I can make these muffins during the winter when the spicy, warming ginger hits the spot. The tart rhubarb pairs…
I’ve probably made double and triple batches of these about 5 times in the last 3 weeks. And they never last for longer than the following day. If you keep going overboard and buying too much summer squash (guilty!) or your home garden is going…

I may have mentioned before that Paxton has declared himself the “Muffin Monster” (and the “Pancake Monster” but that’s a different story). According to him, these are his favorite muffins. And they were the birthday treat he wanted to share with his friends at school…
Just in time for the weekend – blueberry whole grain waffles and pancakes! Slightly sweet, slightly nutty, totally delicious. I would like to say that with all the extra fiber and bulk to these that we have leftovers. But we don’t. And I get out…
