Grilled Apples with Cinnamon Sugar
As the time for grilling spills over into the time for ripe, plump apples, we’re taking advantage of the overlap with this yummy grilled snack.
Scones again, naturally
A couple of weeks ago, while I was singing and dancing about lemon curd, I may have glibly referenced the terribleness of scones in the United States. I stand by that. In my experience, scones are dense, dry and tasteless. I suspect that people only eat them because they think it makes them seem sophisticated and worldly, and maybe also …
Curd is the word
Silky-smooth, tart, and reminiscent of lemon candy, lemon curd is a sort of dessert condiment. (A dessert condiment that I totally eat for breakfast all the time.)
Long live duritos, whatever they are
This is yet another story about jumping into unfamiliar foods without a plan or any way of knowing what the hell I’m doing. Don’t worry, though! It has a happy ending. It started last weekend, when our friend Njicki came to visit. John and I, as Atlantans, are tired of the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coke—or maybe only …
Summer Meets Fall: Apple-Nectarine Parfaits with Maple Yogurt
Five ingredients. That’s it. Well, seven if you count lemon juice and a spoonful of sugar, but stop being so pedantic. It’s basically five. It’s like a whole-food dessert, more or less: lightly sweetened apples and nectarines, Greek yogurt with maple syrup mixed in, and some cereal on top. All right, you’ve got me there: once I said “throw cereal …
Hummus for dinner: Jalapeno Black Bean Hummus
Note: This post is part of Knuckle Salad’s Hummus All Day Long initiative. Man, if nine-year-old me could read this blog—or even 20-year-old me, if I’m totally honest—she would make such a face about the gratuitous use of beans in my recent recipes. And this one would really puzzle her. Why would Future Me ruin a perfectly great, starchy, shrimpy …
Hummus for lunch: Garlic Butterbean Hummus
Note: This post is part of Knuckle Salad’s Hummus All Day Long initiative. I love weekend lunches. Especially when there’s garlic butterbean hummus involved, the healthy snacky veggie lunch you can easily throw together on a Saturday! Oh, and also, I stuffed it into cherry tomatoes. And made a nice spinach salad and some hard boiled eggs. You know. Just …
Hummus All Day Long
Did you know I used to hate hummus? I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned it before. You see, I have, and always have had, a problem with chickpeas. My problem in a nutshell is that everything about them is terrible. However, my mom discovered earlier this year that Sabra makes a couple of really tasty, totally-not-remotely-terrible-or-chickpea-like varieties of chickpea hummus, …
Snacks That Turn You Invincible, Volume 1: Kale Chips
Check out this healthy snack I just tried from White On Rice Couple! It’s just kale! Last summer I became temporarily obsessed with the idea that you could make something resembling delicious ice cream with just one healthy ingredient (bananas), and this is like that, only savory instead of sweet. It’s a kind of crispy chip snack, and it’s only …
