I am mortified by how long it has taken me to tell you about OXO’s new Egg Beater. Yikes. Here are the facts: OXO sent me one of their new Good Grips Egg Beaters–along with a second to give away to a lucky reader–as part of their Blogger Outreach Program.
Warm Farro Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Pepitas and Queso Fresco
I had been looking for farro for 8 months, ever since I got Heidi Swanson’s Super Natural Every Day: Well-Loved Recipes from My Natural Foods Kitchen because she uses it in a great looking soup. I was intrigued by the grain, but for some reason–don’t make too much fun of me–it totally escaped me that it…
Maple Oat Cakes: Baking with Sammy and Alex
I can tell it’s fall because the viruses are just not stopping around here. Which is relevant because I am soooo behind and that is why I am only now getting around to posting about these oat cakes, which I made with both girls on Labor Day (!), and which sustained me through the first round…
Chunky Quadruple Chocolate Cookies: Baking with Sammy
Houston, we have a winner! Because even Sesame Street has to hit a homerun every now and then. Sammy and I have continued our baking adventures during the day while Alex is at school.

I just bought several holiday cookie magazines, and am excitedly planning what will be gracing my cookie tins this year. But I digress–I was telling you how tasty, easy, nutritious and especially fiber…
No Nut Apple Pie Bars
Last week Alex’s kindergarten class studied apples, so her teacher asked me if I could bake an apple treat for them. Because of the prevalence of nut allergies in kids (and indeed Alex does have one child with nut allergies in her class) I skipped past the apple bars I have made in the past…
Molasses Ginger Granola Bars
Well I still don’t have the marshmallows to share. I want to tweak just a few last things–for a 4th batch (most of the 3rd was enjoyed by John’s students lest you think we have turned into marshmallows around here). It’s a hard job, making all these marshmallows, but someone has to do it. In…
Think Outside The Box: Double Chocolate Chip Mint Teff Cookies
Some of you have heard me rave about teff before. The world’s tiniest grain (teff means “lost” in Arhamic, which they speak (I think) in Ethiopia) and one of the primary grains used in Africa, one handful of it can sow a very large field–which makes it both incredibly economical and also an incredible pain…
