Filed under: Breakfast, Snacks, Nuts/seeds, Recipes, Fruit This is a breakfast, and you can probably guess from the name that it's not the most healthy breakfast you could have. But you know what? It's really not as bad as it sounds. I mean, they have peanut butter, honey, and granola in them. This recipe for Crunchy Monkey Peanut Butter Banana ...

Filed under: Nuts/seeds, Recipes, Holidays I've been doing these food holiday posts since last year and I'm pretty good at keeping track of what special food day it is and mentioning it here (if it's worth mentioning, that is). Somehow though I missed the fact that yesterday was National Almond Day. I almost bought almonds but decided to go with ...

Filed under: Nuts/seeds, Recipes, Holidays I love pistachio nuts. I can eat an entire bag (and I'm talking about those big 1 lb bags, not the little ones) in one evening. Give me a bag of pistachio nuts and a TV and I'm happy. Today is National Pistachio Day, and that involves not just the nuts but the other foods that contain pistachio. Here's ...

Filed under: Nuts/seeds, Recipes, Holidays I wasn't sure how to celebrate National Peanut Butter Day.

We have to! Starting on January 1, all of us will be forgoing cookies, candy, doughnuts, and cake, as per our New Year's Resolutions, ...

Filed under: Grains, Dairy, Nuts/seeds, Chocolate, Recipes, Baking, Eggs, America, Sugar, Christmas Let's not get all crazy technical here by telling us that a brownie isn't a cookie. We already got all kinds of heat about dictionary definitions, etc when we told the lucky recipients that they were receiving the results of our cookie-baking chaos. ...

Filed under: Nuts/seeds, Recipes, Baking, Raves & Reviews, Holidays I was 18 years the first time I had a Pecan Tassie. I had just finished my freshman year of college and was spending a couple of days with my mom's cousin, Amy, and her partner, Jean, at their house in the Columbia Gorge (White Salmon, WA to be exact). While I was there Jean ...

Filed under: Dinner, Nuts/seeds, Recipes, Magazines, Retro cookery My great-aunt Flora was something of a gourmet. She loved to cook and when time didn't permit to create something delicious, she loved even more to eat out. She was the one who took me out to eat one of the best meals of my life when I was 12 years old. It was so good that 16 years ...

Filed under: Breakfast, Nuts/seeds, Recipes, Fruit, Books, Baking, Fall Flavors More than once, I've been caught saying nasty things about my 1997 edition of the Joy of Cooking.
