Wow, what a busy weekend.  My sister was in from Seattle for a wedding shower, so I’ve been visiting with family and eating everything in sight.  I have had pizza THREE times this weekend.  Three! If you follow me on Twitter, then you might’ve noticed that I went to a Tigers game in Detroit this weekend.  Josh had never been to a professional baseball game, and I’m pretty certain he had never been to any major league sporting event.  Baseball games lead to veggie hot dogs (yes! They had them. So excited) and then after the game we went to Greektown for a pile of tasty Greek food.  Needless to say, I need a little better eating in my life this week. Enter these tasty, tasty scones.  The recipe will look shockingly familiar if you’ve seen my...

If you haven’t entered the Udi’s Gluten Free giveaway, go do it noowwwww.  Whether you’re gluten free or not, they have some great stuff worth trying out.  Today’s recipe is something I’ve actually been making for years.  I haven’t always added the veggies on top, but I love the texture it adds and who doesn’t want more veggies in their life? This dip comes together in a flash, can be eaten at pretty much any temperature, and is loved by everyone in their right mind. This makes a good appetizer for 4 people or a light snack for 8.  Double it if you’re feeding a hungry crowd, because you’re going to want a big pile of this. Let me just tell you real quick: the cream cheese layer in this...

**This giveaway is closed and the winner has been notified** I know I’ve been teasing you guys for weeks with this giveaway, but it’s finally time! Udi‘s sent over a HUGE box of gluten free goodies, and I’ve been working my way through them.  You’ve been seeing some of the stuff pop up on the blog with new recipes, like the gluten free lasagna pizza or yesterday’s vegan beef and avocado quesadillas. I also made one of my older recipes, sweet and savory lentil joes. And devoured many just plain in my hand, like these coconut peanut butter cookies.  I’ve tried probably 5 times now to recreate these cookies and I can’t even come close – they’re that good! While I do not stick to a gluten free diet, my...

Thanks for everyone’s kind words over the last week or so.  I’m feeling great, Josh is doing well, and Chester is just about to his normal self.  A secondary problem when I don’t feel well is that I start to spiral into some pretty bad eating.  Because cold water made my tooth feel SO much better, I’d been eating my weight in a lot of ice cream.  Bad eating = feeling yucky on top of already feeling yucky, so I’ve been cleaning up my act with some tasty vegan noms. I probably say this every day of my life, but tacos are amazing.  I make some sort of taco at least once a week.  One glorious week, I made them 3 days in a row.  The beauty of tacos is how...

Sorry I’ve been gone, I still have tasty food coming up for you soon and the Udi’s giveaway I’ve mentioned no less than 80 times (I’m super excited! Sorry, not sorry).  I normally only really talk about food, but let me vent my super awful week, k? Wednesday was a particularly awful day.  I had to go to the orthodontist, but I don’t really mind that.  The real problem was my cat Chester had some sort of eye infection and I had to rush from work, to the ortho, grab Chester, and run all the way across town.  Josh skipped the vet because he had a migraine and by the time I got home, he was in rough shape.  Right around bed time he started shaking and couldn’t form real...

I seem to be a big fan of stuffing cheese inside of things.  Until a week or so ago, this was limited to savory recipes but when I made the base of these cookies and they were lacking a little something, I knew a sweetened cream cheese was the answer.  The cookie part actually came to be when I was trying to make some kind of cookie cup, and instead just made a delicious mess.  I’ll get it one of these days, so I can fill them with ice cream or fruit or pudding or any of a million delicious ideas floating around in my head.  But for now, these stuffed cookies are tasty enough to keep my interest. This is kind of an odd selling point, but they remind me...
