It started with some pumpkin waffles and turned into an attempt to find the best pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe around and then with just one cup of pumpkin left over, I quickly whipped up a batch of some tasty whole wheat pumpkin muffins. They went a little like this Whole Wheat Pumpkin Spice Muffins We gobbled these tasty pumpkin muffins … [Read more...]

Delicious Rhubarb Muffins made with whole wheat flour When I was a little girl, my parents had a patch of rhubarb growing in the back yard so I grew up on the sour veggie stalk but haven't had it in years. This summer I kind of got a craving for it, but our little village grocery store doesn't even carry it! During a trip to the city, I picked up a bunch and started thinking about what to make. Because we have started to eat healthier, I wanted to avoid sweet … [Read more...]

mmmm....bacon! Bacon makes everything taste better doesn't it? Last week I asked my readers on social media how they liked to cook their bacon - oven, frying pan or microwave.

These delicious Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins start out a lot like my Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins, because this recipe actually came first!

If you love these, you'll love the double chocolate version and vice versa! Go ahead and give both of them a try, especially if you have a … [Read more...]

My kids are breakfast eaters. They are pretty picky at the best of times, so they rarely eat a good dinner, but come breakfast they are starving and luckily enough it's one meal that they actually love. So we often have a breakfasty type lunch and one favourite is pancakes. Last week, I was just about to make a big batch of pancakes for lunch when I noticed the peanut butter jar still on the counter from breakfast and lightning struck! Why not marry the two! I almost just … [Read more...]
